I and other members of the board often get asked about allowing buy/sell/trade ("BST") posts, setting up a separate forum for BST, or having an person swap meet for this. We're ready to go beyond anecdotal evidence and see if we can get a representative sample of what is desired. Whether you are for or against the idea, please head over to this Survey Monkey page and respond to a quick survey regarding adding a buy/sell/trade component for TPFR members.

We will be collecting responses for two weeks, with the survey closing on October 10 (Columbus Day & day of Beer Tie). Please note, that implementing any of the suggestions here depends on the interest, our discretion, and ability to pull off the logistics.

Thanks to Josh for raising this to my attention again and putting together the survey; and thanks in advance for any feedback.

How a bout a trial run of what the forum will look like immediately after sales are permitted? 

Sample

Hi TPFR!  I have these items for sale:

- 1 used body bag
- 1/2 of a Subway Italian B.M.T wrestled away from a dirty pelican 
- some like-new hotel light bulbs (144 ct.)

No Spam, cash only....pleeeeeezzzzz

Yes - thanks, Dalton, for doing this. The long-standing objections to TPFR commerce seem to no longer have much traction.

While I share Gene's doubts about doing this with the main forum, I think there are ways to do it that respect those concerns and make everybody happy enough. I would prefer a swap-meet type event, myself.

But that's just me - everyone should fill out the survey. It takes three seconds - unless you're really indecisive, it took more time reading this post.
