Generally, I like the idea. Being directly in front of ones buying audience has advantages. Having said that, the problem is all the baggage that comes alone for the ride. As you even said, next somebody will want to sell speakers or other audio gear. Then somebody will have a car head unit for sale, then a car, and who knows what else. Plus all the non-squeezebox folks will join the forum so they can sell their cell phones and knock-off purses, then the 'For Sale' section becomes spam city. The admins and moderators have enough to do without policing a 'For Sale' section in the Forum. With Audiogon and Ebay available and geared toward selling, the idea seems more like a non-starter. Also Audiogon has a "Wanted" section that one could place an add in, "Squeezebox Forum Member wants used SB3 at a fair price to come to a loving home full of FLAC files". -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76652 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
