Just a thought...

I don't want to look picky, but I had this thought...

Most of people in here are from the States. So most posts involve trades only for the States. But there are proud sysopt members from Europe too!!! And we guys don't really know how trading goes on in the US.

So I thought that *maybe* it would be a good idea to either have a separate forum for trades in Europe, or find a way to immediately identify from the title of the post if the seller can actually ship in another continent (from EU to US or vice cersa).

What do you guys think about that?

Thanks.

Good idea. While you are at it, make a USA FS/T forum and a Canada/Europe/Everywhere else one.

Well if you are a Brit or in that neck of the woods try ROM2 (http://www.romulus2.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi) . Good people who even put up with a crazy Yank or two http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

Good idea - is it possible to maybee put a flag next to a member's name? Then again, I am american, and i I would use a brit flag because the music from over there is so much better! Maybee you could add a box or 2 in the forum for trades that would tell 1.) Where it is. 2.) Where it will be shipped. After all, some of us americans don't mind shipping overseas, some of us ship with fed ex!

That's exactly my point.

I mean there are plenty of stuff that I would like to buy "second hand" but just because here in Europe second hand computer exchanges are not often, I cannot.

Like if I look for a P2 300 here, I am sure that I won't find easily one. While there are people in the States that just want to get rid of them and no-one buys them...

So why don't have a "system" that will allow International shipping as well? If putting "flags" or "titles" is difficult, I think that the creation of another forum with the title "EU-US-CAN Trades" or something like that will help MANY people (me included) reading posts from people that can actually ship overseas...

Admins, what do you think of that?
