These forums are among the best I've ever been a part of, and are full of experienced pros, and brand-newbies alike. There are so many different products out there, I think it would be fantastic if AutoGeek had a dedicated Classifieds/For Sale section. There's an entire THREAD on regretted detailing purchases. Imagine if these folks who could just sell that stuff they bought, thought they'd use, but never did to another geeker who may use it?
As an add, a 'swap' section would be fantastic as well (Perhaps a subforum within that Classifieds forum, but something more robust than just a thread like the pay it forward thread). Lots of us have consumable products we no longer use or thought we'd use. One option might be to sell half-empty bottles of product; but probably a more practical option for offloading unwanted consumables would be a swap section! Swap products with other members (whether by meeting up or shipping) to try out new stuff. There is already a sample swap thread, but it is cluttered and not as robust as a 'swap' subforum, AND is geared towards samples. What if I had been using a particular Carnauba wax, but switched to another, and had half a bottle I know I'll never use? Maybe I could swap it with someone who has a polish I'd like to try, who also has used some of it but probably won't use it again!
Just a thought! Maybe it's a bad idea, maybe it's been discussed before and there are reasons I'm unaware of why it wouldn't work, but there was a short discussion on the chatbox about it, and I thought I'd make a thread! I think there are a lot of 'geekers' who would enjoy it. And now, after SEMA, is the PERFECT time to introduce it. With people ready to upgrade to new DA polishers and try out new products, I'm sure it'd be great for them to have a place on AutoGeek to sell their old equipment!
Thanks for a fantastic forum and the BEST place to buy my stuff!
