Retailing in the Classifieds

[danceswithdingoes]

Im sorry if Im perceived as being out of line here, but if a member imports new products and sells them for a profit isnt that retailing? And as such shouldnt only paid sponsors to this site be allowed to trade on it? Surely some of these products are in direct competition with forum sponsors and should be controlled or legitimised. Second hand items from members updating is a different story. Just my 2c worth.....flame on :)

You blokes must have little to talk about by worrying about things like this...There are blokes on here who make blunts,blokes that make strings and plenty of other people that sell things to make a profit...If you see something on here and think it's selling for too much,or something is being sold that is in competion to a sponser don't buy the thing.whats the difference in buying second hand bows from the states cheap and then selling them on here for a few extra dollars.Why not just get over it and let others get on with it...

I think if you can make some money on it then you must've got a real bargain.

People will pay what they think is reasonable and if everyone is happy then why not

I wouldn't think anyone could make a business out of this (at least here anyway)

I wouldnt like to see this site turn into the archery section of ebay

If some one is a retailer or buying and selling for a profit, why not sponser the site ??

My point exactly, or on the other hand why should a retailer pay for sponsorship if its perceived they dont need to? What happens to the forum then?
