Yes. Think it's a great idea, one that has been tossed around before. I think it would have to be for members only... Just to make it more secure, etc....
I think that's already been suggested and rejected by the owners. There are other sites for selling unwanted jewelry, ebay being the obvious one. I understand wanting to buy from someone you "know" and trust, but really - anyone can join PS, and none of us has been vetted (except by the test of time).
I would love it as long as it wasn't cluttered with tradespeople spamming their wares. I know the participating tradespeople wouldn't do it, but lurkers might.
A couple of my photography forums require a minimum of post before being able to access the "buy/ sell" section. This keeps a sense of community and random people from JUST selling on the forum. I realize this system can be outsmarted, but it would be the buyer's responsibility to check post history and verify the seller's credibility ... we even check Ebay ratings when purchasing equipment on the forum.
Not ON PS per say. There's another set of sites where one is a web forum and the other is a sales site but they're connected thru a link. It seems to work out quite well. So, if PS had a different site for sales, not just a sub forum, that might work out well.
At this time it is not something we are able to have on PS however we are working through the logistics and it is possible we may be able to make it work in the future.
