Maybe it's only because I'm looking to build a newer system, but has anyone brought up the idea of having a sort of "swap meet" area in the forums? You know, a place that people can sell or trade older or newer hardware and/or sim-pit goodies. Would this be practical, or do you think it would bring about undesired results?

Specs: Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI,
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ w/ZeroTherm BTF90,
4GB G.Skill PI Series DDR2-800,
Sapphire HD4870 512MB,
PC P&C 750 Quad, in a CoolerMaster HAF932

We used to have something like that but the amount of trade didn't justify the forum Wink

Post it in the relevant forum. If someone has components they wish to sell/swap put it in the Hardware forum. If a member had anything to do with simpits which they wished to get rid of then the Homebuild forum would be the natural choice.

Now if anybody has a cheap BMW to sell then put it in the Autos forum.... please Wink

Most never finding this in their first glance wouldn't realize this feature without it being blatantly included in the subtitle, thus may never look again; it more often tends to be something of a 'need to know at the moment' situation.
