Like!!!

Super like!

i noticed that some sellers will remove the advertised price once sold. I like to look back at old sales to get a feel for pricing. I remember being able to check old transaction prices on ebay. I think it makes for more transparent and efficient pricing

Can we consider the merits of retaining that piece of information? Just a suggestion ...

good...

LIKE.........

Bravo

Fully support.

It is good to have CLEAR Rules to regulate the market place, It is especially important to weed out attempt on dubious dealings.

Please allow me to comment below just on Rule 8 as underlined above:

1. The above Rule 8 on BST allows only golf-related items to be posted. What is the definition of a "golf related item"?
If the Rule is to be clear to all, then the key terms used in it must also be clearly defined to remove ambiguity as much as possible. If we were to read the R&A Golf Rules, all key terms are properly defined.

Do you consider a water bottle or a towel as golf related? What about some amulets supposedly to give one the powers to outdrive his opponent? What about fishing rods?

2. Before the new Rules were introduced,

a. the brief description below BST section in the Forum page gives directions as follows:
"Looking for or selling something? You can even barter trade your old shoes. Post it here and get the deal done."
Literal reading of the "something" must suggest that it covers anything and everything. Of course, civility and common sense must dictate that it must also be something legal and non offensive.

b. So if a guy had some fish to sell under BST then, what WAS so wrong with that? Another guy might just be looking for it! so we have a happy couple matched!

3. With the new Rule 8 enforced, and unless a new section for dealing in non golf related items is added,

a. we'll deal with golf equipments only henceforth. Maybe we also need to update the short description of BST as hjghlighted in point 2a above.

b. We can also discuss about cars, PDAs and IT Gadgets in the other Forum sections as provided.

c. We have nowhere else here to sell water bottle though golfers are encouraged to drink plenty of water during the game. We are supposed to use a towel and not the Tshirt to wipe our sweats. forget the amulet. We have to sell our fishing rods to non mygolfers though we know some golfers go fishing like TW.

Finally, lest anyone think that i am trying to be a nuisance here, rest assured that i am not. I care. Therefore i am pounding for an hour on my rickety handphone to put forth my sincere thots on the matter.

hi okwoon,
thanks for highlighting. This prove that our member does read and do care about what's happening.
I'm glad.

To answer your question, 2(a). yes, it's only golf related product, be it energy bracelet, golf towel, or even, a belt (golfers does need belt).
Fishing rod? nope. Even though some famous shaft manufacturer did produce fishing rod (yes, it is true), unless you are telling me that you can fit a fishing rod into your club and play (just kidding).
As you said, let's have some civility and common sense.

And yes, I did overlooked the description under 'Buy, Sell & Trade' forum and did not change it in time.
For that, my apology.

And yes with regards to your point 3(b). You can even sell your car, under specific forum, 'Automobile Talks' as of now.

Once again, thanks for highlighting the BST description.

Cheers!
Brian.

Bro, no problem. You only need 8 more posts and you will turn to be in the member rank. I can see that you are one of the best member/user of this forum and not those that in my list, that joined this forum and start selling from the 1st day until now.

I am very doubtful that someone had so much personal old and new golf stuffs to sell. Obviously, it is one of their business.

We are not trying to be difficult for all member here but this is suppose to be a golf forum, when we make golf friends, get to know new golf kaki, arrange game, learn from each other, what new in the market ... etc. So much to talk about BUT what happened, when you open the main page. It is all WTS threads from top to bottom by some and same business guy. Isn't painful ?

Those whom know me, knew that I like to buy new or old golf stuff too. Selling personal golf stuff I can understand as I do the same too but I doubt I can sell every month though.

Stay with us and support us. We can also talk about everything not only golf. Like my golf pal Ivan posting about fish, where got good foods .. etc. This also contribute to this forum and keep it alive.

So, one ask our self. What we have contribute ? Some do not even talk "Fish" still complain.

We just to make this forum a better place for every member. We need people like you.

Totally like the new rules and regs!!

Dear Slicer51,

Thanks for your comments. Hope you enjoy your new role.
