As above i had a thread on here asking what people thought some forged bits were worth so i knew what to advertise them for and now for some unknown reason the thread has gone. Theres loads of whats it worth threads pop up in scoobynet general, so clearly it wasnt breaching any rules so why has mine been removed???

There's one up the page from here?

TBH, folk get a bit fed up of what's it worth threads when the seller hasn't paid.

Yeah i made another one as the old one disappeared.

Im going to be selling them on here once i know what to sell them for, so im gonna have to pay anyway

Maybe scoobynet admin can add a whats it worth section to marketplace, that way the threads wouldnt keep popping up in general then.

Good idea, put it to them. They would need to ensure that it couldn't be used as a non-paying for sale section, though.

Ive mentioned it on here before, a couple of times in fact, still not done though

Turns out i have been paying subs afterall after looking at my paypal account, so my original thread should of stayed.

Not really, you should have put them into for sale.

Any "what's it worth" threads should be binned, IMO, regardless of paying membership.

There should be a separate section, that's only accessible to paying members.

iTrader: (11)

Not really, considering theyre not advertised for sale, its a whats it worth thread ffs

gazzawrx

iTrader: (11)

Totally agree mate, maybe if any mods are reading this they can action it

mickywrx

iTrader: (29)

Mods can't do that. It has to be either Stu, or one of the IB people.

It won't happen though.

Yeah i feel this will be the case too, until then where else are people supposed to ask what SUBARU parts are worth if not in scoobynet general??

9/10 what's it worth threads are basically back handed for sale threads.

Not saying yours is by the way mate, but I think it's usually the case.

In this day and age if someone can't go on the net and get an idea of what something is worth well there's something wrong.
"what's it worth threads shouldn't be allowed regardless of membership" just my opinion

Link an ebay link in a for sale thread on here with 99p start.
Thats what it's worth or list at a price you would take and see if it sells.

This place should be renamed Moneynet.com,,, not much of a car enthusiast forum this place when you can't even ask any questions when trying to sell some parts without paying money to the greedy webmaster first!! This place is a business not a car enthusiast forum!

S/N used to be free you know...... arrh the good ol days

gazzawrx

iTrader: (11)

Yep and unfortunately it isnt gonna change either

This place isnt an enthusiast site anymore, most enthusiast sites contain people that want to help if you have a question, on here its the opposite, which is why i dont bother posting much on here unless i need to.

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

Why, what questions have you asked that no-one will answer? Apart from WIW, which everyone is sick of and no-one knows the answers to?

gazzawrx

Exactly this is the first whats it worth thread ive posted and rather than people just give me an approximate value to what my bits could be worth it turns out to be nearly a page of dribble, you shouldnt do this, im sick of that, its spelt like this etc etc. This is how most posts end up on here now, instead of dragging this thread out the way it has it would have been a lot more simple and a lot less hassle just to say imo id put it up for £xxx and see if it goes.

A lot of people on here want to make themselves seem and feel important on an internet forum and **** on everyone elses chips

Theres another couple of whats it worth threads in the last 2 pages in here, yet noone posted the bullsh1t in them, they gave a price and life moved on yet my thread gets dragged out by people who have no intention to help with the op and therefore no real reason to post in here, i.e making themselves feel important, if you wanna be a mod mate then pm admin, no doubt theyll find a spot for ya.

Sigh.........you aren't seeing it are you?

I don't want to be a mod, and they wouldn't have me if I did...there's history.

But I've been around a LONG time and seen what the forum WAS and what it's descended to now. If you think it's bad it's BECAUSE of the quality of threads, and loads of WIW threads don't help.

Also, it has been noted in the past that at least 50% of WIW threads are an attempt to get round paying.

That's my two penn'orth, take it or leave it, it's all the same to me.

if you can't get advice on WIW on a subaru forum where else should you go to find out?

mumsnet? keyboardwarriors.com? dogginginyorkshire.com?

if you don't like the title, don't read the thread! simple!

they should create a section for WIW threads, if you don't like them, don't visit the section

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

But they haven't...and won't.

I'm not alone in being fed up with the forums being clogged up with fake posts about what stuff's worth, 90% being thinly disguised For sale threads, hence their removal by mods.

It's not what I joined for, and has driven a LOT of very knowledgeable folk away, to the detriment of the rest of us.

Seriously, if you want to know what something is selling for, cheackout ebay. Or sell on there.

gazzawrx

iTrader: (11)

Come on mate, whats drove the knowledgeable folk away isnt wiw threads, the knowledgeable folk would of answered these sort of posts, whats drove them away is the amount of **** heads that jump on every post trying to belittle people and comment on bad grammer etc

The demographic of SN is changing, you've been around a few years now Gaz, surely even you can see that. A lot of people have moved away from Subaru's in general, or they just don't bother posting anymore. Couple that with the amount of fools that can't stirng a sentence together joining, then I can't really blame them, to be honest.

Hopefully it'll change back towards how it was, no idea if that will happen though. Things weren't helped by the very untimely loss of 2 very knowledgeable posters.

Time will tell, I guess.
