Locky Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Does anyone look in the Trade section? People post good deals there but hardly anyone looks at the threads. I've posted a couple myself which only have 1 view and that's probably from me. Don't you like me?! Or do people just see the thread title and go and search for themselves? Just curious! EDIT: Whoops, my poll question makes no sense whatsoever [can I edit it!?]. It's supposed to say 'Do you look in the Trade section?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-zim Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i must say i never have looked in the trade section. i cant tell you why. i am probably too busy annoying someone with one of my posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I never have either. I simply forgot of its existence. Plus there's Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 There are always good deals in there, and links to sites with good deals. I should be getting a £5 voucher for Play.com thanks to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1cubeplayer Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm too broke to afford seeing something and then wanting to purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadKill Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I do not ever really visit the trade section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fields Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I used it once, on the old C-E, to get some old magazines. It worked OK, but to be honest I don't really look there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 eBay is the man's realm of trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 No, simply because I am not willing to sell or buy games over forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 No, simply because I am not willing to sell or buy games over forums. Hmm, perhaps that why some people don't look. The board doesn't just contain private sales and trades. All the threads I post on the Trade board are links to good deals on the web at sites like Play, Simply Games, GAME, DVDBlah, etc. Perhaps it should be renamed 'For Sale/Bargain Board' like it was in the old C-E forums so people know what it's about.

Jon Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I dont look that often, perhaps as i know when all the deals are happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I take a look every so often as there are some nice deals posted on there, but I wouldn't really buy off there unless it was someone well respected around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I have a look at least once a day to see what's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I also look in there quite a few times a week.......... Also don't trust the number that signifies the amount of times a page has been viewed, as if you look down gen-chat or any other board, you'll notice that nearly every thread has one more view than the amount of posts in it. Surely this isn't correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I always have a look if there's a new post, I've bought a couple of things thanks to your posts recently Locky. I noticed no one looked in the thread I made either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
