Trader Sites - What’s it all about?

[Simo]

As you can see in the affiliate bar at the top of the page, a number of communities have been launched overnight.

Citroentrader.co.uk (http://www.citroentrader.co.uk)

Saxotrader.co.uk (http://www.saxotrader.co.uk)

C2trader.co.uk (http://www.c2trader.co.uk)

Peugeottrader.co.uk (http://www.peugeottrader.co.uk)

106trader.co.uk (http://www.106trader.co.uk)
<hr />

So, what's it all about you may be thinking?

This is an idea I thought of almost a year ago and after months of not progressing anything, I decided to launch a suite of simple forums, to gather interest in the respective communities.

But, what's it for?</font>

The sites are currently bare-bones. I have a number of ideas how this suite of mini-sites could grow and offer the Citroen and Peugeot communities a great service, but before any development is progressed I want to seek support from prospective users...

If people support the idea and the communities grow, I will invest more time/effort/money developing the sites into useful resources. If no interest is shown after a few months, then the communities will be banished.

Still don't understand the point?</font>

The point of these sites is to bring people with a common interest, together in a marketplace focussed upon the car they own.

I hope to bring buyers & sellers from a wide range of car communities together to trade items in a centralised area.

<hr />
So, what can you do?</font>

Well, for now... simply register with the community best suited to you. If you'd like to buy/sell some relevent items, then post about them in the appropriate forum.

There's no catch with these communities... they offer you increased opportunities to buy and sell and hopefully, at some point in the future, this will be the first place you post when trying to buy/sell. smileys/smiley2.gif

I would be interested to hear your feedback and comments for improvement. If enough people think these communities will help, then they will be developed further...

Please feel free to spread the word through other car communities...</font>

for once i noticed them as soon as i logged on. good idea Simo, hope it takes off

[higgzy03]

They do seem to be a good idea bringing different traders together in one place

[barrett]

yeah i noticed them too was wondering what they where all about!

Good idea, lets hope it all kicks off on them.

If people post about the sites in other forums i'm sure it would help with
popularity of the sites.

[Simo]

[Graeme]

[barrett]

[C2_VTR]

[Simo]

good idea simo

but am i right in thinking we need to register on there aswell??

Yes G.

LIke I said.. 'if' these sites are supported by the users, then they will be developed. I've already worked out how to link them together and have a central registration process... but not going to the hassle until I know they will be used smileys/smiley2.gif

Lemme know where/what and I will edit.

Si... What will happen with the trade sections on Sax-p then? It would obviously be a bit harder but are you hoping for other car related sites to abolish their trading sections?

No - I dont think anyone should abolish their trade sections... but why not post in more places than one?

If loads of groups start to use the 'trader' sites, then they will post on 'trader' and their regular site.. and no doubt Ebay as well.

When you're trying to sell something, its best to put the word out in a number of places.

So....</font>
