Sales - New 'Long Haul' Sales Forum?

[Mike]

do we need  a 'long haul' sales forum?

 as in listing of 45s from members that are available for sale but are 'slow' sellers 

whatcha reckon ?

Do you mean something along the lines of discogs where we each have a shop?

nah not really, I'd say that's a bit more individual 45 based and so a bit more deliberate, which have tried in past without that much success

just thinking a forum, similar to our record sales forum but tailoired so  members can post up lists of 45s that they have for sale but are not expecting 'quick' sales

more list based rather than individual 45s

[Chalky]

Give it a go, I have some I've just removed from discogs

I think this is a great idea, with Discogs putting prices up, Ebay was lost to serious record buying years ago, Face Book, not everybody does Facebook. Be good to have a single place to access 'Stock' 45's... if I was a dealer and I could put the bulk of my 45's up, I'd concider that.

would there be a search capability more specific than the general source search? nothing worse than scrolling through hundreds of lists

[Mach]

Personally dont mind trawling through hundreds of sales even thousands, but maybe best set in some kinda price category so buyers can refine search easier, but think its a good idea any way.

[Mike]

ok plan is to go with the below

a new markt forum set up for 'long haul' sales lists for members eg a list based stock type forum

a 'improved' search - default set to the forum

any suggestions on the name of the forum?

  'long haul' ?  ' long sales' ?  'stock sales'? 

 

[Mike]

search improvements taking a bit longer than anticapted

first step - the site search feature now has 'quick search' (autocomplete ) added

next/second step -  after testing of the quick search
 

[Thejackos]

'Stock sales' would grab my attention.

Cheers Jacko.

[Soul Agent]

Good idea. Could it be a database that you could search on artist, label, title?

[Mike]

search improvements sorted

plus forum now open

https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/440811-new-forum-stock-sales/

now comes the next bit members posting their 'lists' of 'long term' sales

[Solidsoul]

When I list on record sales it stays on Markt, but when tried on stock sales it moves to Forum. Does that matter?

'Deep Dive', 'Market Deep Dive' 'Trawl the Racks' 'Create Diggin' 'Create Digging' 'Cratedigger'  'Cratedigger database' and maybe mix one or all of those together David Bowie Style, you might get something interesting Mike.

If I list some records how is this going to be different from Record Sales? Are the records going to go down the pages as more people list things?

its setup for long term sales lists

as in 45s that you may not be expecting to sell quick or ones that you have found you can't move on...

with the improved search member should be able to locate 45s of interest quicker
