Can We Start a Vintage "Swap Shop" on This Page?

[TimV]

It appears that the vast majority of us are scroungers who enjoy "the find" and work at it at least somewhat regularly.

I also question how often the majority of us checks the classified ads. I know I rarely ever do.

Is there any reason we can't start a "Swap Shop" here on "our" forum for trades only so we can help each other out?

I know I would be willing to write down a list of what people were looking for and take it with me when I go out "foraging."

It seems to me that we could really help each other out this way. What do you guys think? Would administration be cool with that?

Hi Tim,

Saw your ad in the Classic BST forum, and that is the approved place where to put buy/sell/trade requests. Generally, discussing a set of irons you have that is missing a club is enough to let others know that you are looking for a single - in some cases, they will even go find you a club before you have the set (right, Alan?).

As these forums are only reviewed for possible objectionable conduct (right Randy and Stu - saw you each lost a post this week), and are not monitored for BST style transactions, you could risk getting yourself sent to the penalty box, or kicked off the team if you try and run a "swap shop" here.

On one final note, they guys (and gal) on here are pretty good at reading between the lines and if you state you need something, and someone has it, you'll usually get a PM within the day (right, Uncle Bob?).

I have edited and will try to remain out of trouble then.
