Thank you to our Sponsors
Hello all,
I am trying to look in the private sales forum, but can't find it, or it doesn't work. Clicking on the link from one of the pages referring to different levels of membership and a direct link to the private sales forum doesn't work.
Where can one access the private sales forum form?
Will a potential buyer need to be a member in order to browse the sales forum, or is it only the seller that needs to be a member in order to post items for sale?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
you will need to upgrade to Silver or Gold to access these areas.
It's how we keep this site alive and continually improving.
cheers,
Kevin
Hi Kevin thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, will a potential buyer also need to be a silver+ member in order to see the sales adds?
That will reduce the power of the private sales forum and hence fewer will sign up...
Just a thought (if the above is the case).
regards, Chris
Hi,
yes that is correct.
Most sign up to support the site. The sales is seen as a facility for Gold and Silver members to trade with each other.
Hope that helps.
cheers,
Kevin
Have to say I agree that as a Gold member, I feel there would be more incentive to subscribe (If I wasn't already addicted to the site, and wanted to support it anyway - which I do) if the sales section, if not the "wanted", were open to viewing to all users. In fact I had assumed this would be the case.

Though I don't want to buy or sell anything via this forum, I can understand these posts. Wouldn't it be possible for bronze members to see the posts in the private sales sections without being able to post there?
I see what you're saying but the advantage works both ways.
The members who are wanting to see this section are bronze members, there is a solution😎.
If you are looking to buy B&O then upgrade to silver and then you can put a wanted ad or browse the for sale section. Is it really too much to pay to help the site?There are other ways of buying B&O I think this is one of the nicer ways.

Fair Points. I wonder if there might be an in-between solution though.
Would it be possible for non-silver and gold users to view the adverts in the Private Sales/Wanted sections, but with a messgae saying that they will need to upgrade in order to post in the forum and contact the seller? A number of other sites use this device and it could act as an incentive for more people to take up the Gold option.
Just a thought
