Thread: A Carboot/Flea Market Area

I know I love flea markets, yard sales and as some "lot" would say Carboots .lol. I do also realize that many people have websites that also sell these types of things, however, to roam around websites looking takes forever, ....

If there were room here on the forum, maybe under classifieds, that we could have a thread for buying & selling, we could maybe post an item that we have for sale, you know like collectibles, antiques, rare, hard to find items, or even just things that we no longer need and particularly something from another's country that I couldn't possibly find here ...

So, I'd like to see a "fun area" where members could post some of their "treasures" that they are willing to part with and we could buy??

Yes, No ???

Good Idea or Bad Idea??

Too much to control? Would it get out of hand? Is the trust in each other too much to ask for? Like we wouldn't hold VodaHost responsible for any transactions, would all be buyer/seller related and the responsibility too ....

Maybe this is not even allowed?

It could maybe be done in the same format as vodabids and called something like VodaAuction or VodaBid. I don't really know but sounds like a good idea Ladyeye. Ebay getting a bit same old same old now and is getting too pricey anyway so this would be a breath of fresh air.

EYE love it ..... mind u you won't get a "Lot" but definitely made my day ... just don't put up a "liquidation sale" though, okay ...

And Mook, you won't need much in that wallet, lmao

David you are too funny, I can feel the cookie monster will out at some point today, looking for you .......... lol ....

LadyEye, you can never ever put a value on these two unique items
that why I am asking for BIDS.....................

WHO will start me off ?.................

David what's the postage and packing on these two delicate items?

Are they expensive to keep?

Do they do as they are told?

Could we have a bit more of a detailed description please

.........Holly great idea I would love this, like you not sure on the ins and outs, but I would put my trust in another member I had built up a certain friendship with.

Post and Packing?
These two perfect examples of modern art are to be collected in person only by the very best of lovers..............

Of course they are expensive, you deserve the best in this life.

If they did what they were told, these two supreme bargains would not be as interesting and lively as they are.

Words alone cannot express the joy and fun that these two would bring into your life............The cookie monster has given them a few tips along the way............

Now, what am I bid...............

--------------------------------------------------------------


If this can be arranged, then all transactions would be within the family and would then be answerable to the family........

For that price you might just get a miniscule cutting from a toenail............

Now lets get serious..............We want this to take off.

Well its your only bid so far and you don't have a reserve price.....So fingers crossed I could get myself a bargain here.

Back to the idea in hand....I would love to see something like this.

I hope the powers that be consider such a thing.

Not to put a dampener on things but how is one supposed to pay for items. if your talking something like paypal or the likes then ok, but anything else then forget it, i know that not everyone is as crooked as me and some are quite descent. but hay can of worms comes to mind.

This sounds like a good idea Holly.........but you know, where we would be.............lol (Whoever fills it up first.......lol) (shop till you drop)

hmmmmmm David, so nice of you to put us up for sale, and Karel so nice of you to place a bid........lol

.........how can I resist?


For Sale

2 very unique individuals - included with this bill-of-sale are their talents of baking, cooking, cleaning, humor, & friendship........I believe they may also have some hidden talents........although driving isn't one of them. lol


*Capes & computers sold separately.

.........I'll open the bid, I bid a cookie. lol

Excellent point Dude, and yes, paypal accounts by those wanting to buy or sell would definitely do the trick, but I'd take a "can of worms" from you anyday ...

It seems as though some buyers are anxious ... it would be great to hear from others as well ... the more the merrier, (and might help to enable this feature).

hmmm CL .. while your items are certainly pretty interesting, I think your opening bid is "pretty crumby"

If we don't really need the items for sale or the cash why not choose a great charity to benefit from the transactions - just a thought.

Excellent Idea sarah.......................

.........I'll open the bid, I bid a cookie. lol

Right!! Here's my bid! lol

Now THATS a good start...............Any more bids?

Wow!!!! I might win

May I warn you Mook that this is a real auction and all bids ARE legally binding.

Ok Mook.........there's something not right here.........why do we get a penny and the guys get all that money?

Sticking to topic.........great wish LE..............perhaps we can auction off some members too.............lol

Sorry CL, obviously not paying attention again, I thought i was bidding for you guys. I really must get more sleep and then i might not make these silly mistakes.

I retract the bid as of now and place it now for you gus. lol

See, I knew that you were worth more than the first bid................

with 1 cent you'd probably only get a chocolate chip from one of the cookies at a push. lol

Thanks Mook.....................lol

Woohoo!!! And the purchase gives you rewards too, come on people bid bid bid. lol

Well Mook I went out and bought a new motor on the strength of the $90,000 bid that I was to share and now my dreams of being as rich as Bill Gates fingernail have been dashed.

The only good thing is that my 1 Cent bid is still the highest (Once you bid and then retract you are exempt from bidding again, Rule46 Section 9)

Please mods lock this thread and then I win...yippeeeee

Now i would like a link to these so called rules of bidding. Me thinks i smell a rat! lol

I control the bidding around here, at least for the beautiful artifacts that I have made available............

I have received a telephone bid of 3 dollars, so karel will have to continue bidding if he wishes to avail himself of this outstanding pair.


----------------------------------------------------------
Any interest being shown to foward this proposed Project ?

3 dollars???? I bid $90,000!!!! Grrrr!! lol

the 3 dollar bid was real...........

Your bid was just a get rich quick logo................lol

You guys are too funny ...

But I really want to know Mook ... what is a push??

It's what all the bidders are doing to bid on you 2. lol

Great Idea Lady Eye,

I love it but you guys are mixed up a flea market is not an auction. :) You don't bid you bargen and trade it's part of what makes it fun to go to.

Jolen

Aloha again Lady Eye. Keep me posted on the flea market idea. I am interested as I have a friend that wants me to do a classified site for him. I know I can buy templates for it but was maybe thinking about creating it from scratch. Thank you.

Anne Smith

hello. new novice member here. As I will be selling a diverse range of goods including vintage, designer etc. this idea is right up my street. So if you get something up and running I have loads of stuff for you carboot/fleamarket bargain hunters. In the meantime, never to miss an opportunity, watch my site progress, you never know, there may be some unique item lurking in there that you will love, but please be patient, its going to take a very long time to get this site constructed and catalogue all available stock.

www.algomastienda.com live under construction via Soholaunch

Take a peak to get some idea of what we are about.

ttfn Maureen

She's done a great job putting this together and wants as many of us who can to participate ...

She even has some "free" advertising space for everyone, how great is this ......... great I'd say ... SHOP SHOP SHOP ... :)
