Is 2.0 going to have a Marketplace?

I don''t know if this was ever decided. I would love to see what other PSers have to sell and know that I was investing wisely. I would also love to have an appreciative customer base for anything I was looking to rehome.

Me three!


I'm much more inclined to buy something I like if I "recognize" the owner, and we often hear about PSers selling things - would be nice not to have to scour the internet to try to track them down, since they can't point us on the message boards

Yes, great idea. I think I commented about it in the Suggestion forum once.

I hope so too. I''m wondering why someone hasnt dopped by this thread to set us straight either way.

Can you imagine loving something someone else has and all of a sudden they are going to sell it? It would be perfect and you know you would get a great deal and a great rock!

I would love that. I always have stuff to re-home so I can buy more! I''ve used other boards with a lot of success. Never had anything go wrong in 20+ transactions.

I really like this idea. I have seen this work on other forums. They do have restrictions, however. You need to be a long-term member/poster and write a letter stating your case for the joining the marketplace. As member of the MP, you are rated in the same way that a seller/buyer is rated on ebay. If someone is shilling, you need to be able to report them to admin. I''m really excited by this idea

I think this would be a wonderful idea. Tough to administer, maybe, but oh-so-worth it in terms of added value ....

I like the idea of an application to list. Maybe there could even be volunteer moderators.

Would love love this feature but I can imagine myself going poor!

I know on the **edited by moderator to remove forum name**.. you have to meet a certain criteria before you can sell.

I think a marketplace would be fantastic and would really add to PS.

It is something we are considering for the future but will not be happening with the transition to 2.0.
