Just thinking out loud here guys, but all these ebay and bargain spotting threads has got me thinking.
Would it be worth us having a 'bargain chasing' forum? Somewhere we can post ebay finds that may interest others? Or maybe ads in local papers that may interest people on here? Also give us an opportunity to say 'i am looking for x' and people reply if they come across it. I'm not a fan of having loads of forums, but i could see these threads disappearing off the general board quickly. Maybe it could be incorporated into the for sale/wanted board tho? In fact, maybe thats what the for sale/wanted forum already is just we arent really using it in that way? should we start doing so a bit more or would it end up filled with rubbish and push worthwhile threads off the board?
along the ebay lines would it be worth us all announcing anything we bid on and have a 'gentlemens agreement' that when one of us goes for something the rest of us don't - so we don't end up bidding against each other and pushing the price higher? I know they do this on the resto cal vw forum and apparently it works well.
like i said, just thinking out loud. I guess I'm just exploring ways we might be able to help each other out etc.
or am i talking toffee as usual? ;D
