For Sale ads becoming excessive (Page 1 of 6)

Create a for sale/want to buy section. Call it Q Branch.

Would banning mean not selling anything?  Like pin badges for instance, or things like " world's most famous gun"?

On Styleforum they have a feature where you can only bump your thread once a week. However you can add all updated data, etc. without moving it to the top. I beleive this should be included here to handle what Higgins is bring up.

Also a WTB/Sales section should be made as a sub-forum to the memorabilia forum.

How about a limited scale Buy & Sell Forum within Non James Bond Diacussion?

By limited scale I mean there would be one thread for clothes, one for jewlery and watches, and one for existing and official liscenced merchandise replica props? If additional ones were needed they could be considered by the mods.  -  Posts would only be for listing items. All negotiantion through PMs?

Items made by members like the AJB pin, or Mini G's crafted props (Goldeneye Keys, Mine, Goldfinger Spirit Of Ecstacy statue) could go into a Q's workbench thread? This could go inside Specialist Bond diacussion?

Personally I loathe that...it means you have to keep scrolling back to the first post 

Then I too say create the Q Bench one for established members for the AJB only projects, and advise eBay, Gumtree etc, for mainstream Buy and Sell. - Leaving a single Bond Collecting  Buy & Sell Advice only thread?

Why the wanting to ban things all the times. Last time it was guns posts now it is this. Is this a group for everyone to enjoy and not just for one person likes or does not like? I am not reading sale post as they do not have no interst to me but other peoples like them im sure.
it is best to leave peoples alone to enjoy the ajb for their own reasons and just not to read if not wanting to buy.

I do think an Q branch idea is a good idea as peoples can go to look at these things that they want to sell or to buy.

Of course we're not a group for any one person's likes or dislikes but everyone has the right to express those and it's a fair subject for discussion.

Is the current spate of for sale threads not due to timing?  12 months after a new Bond film,  the novelty of buying items from the wearing off and the time of year? 
Just my thoughts but collecting memorabilia and clothing related to bond is a passion shared by many ajb members and to be able to buy from,  sell to and trade with like minded people is quite relevant.  It also allows new bond fans the benefit of purchasing hard to find items from older and more experienced members.
Would there be such a dislike if people were selling or trading Fleming bond books or John Barry vinyl soundtracks?  What about autographs or pieces of screen used costume or props?  Surely a Bond forum is where these would safely be sold and traded?

Can we discuss banning green trainers and cockwombles next   

This is not to fight but Please I hope you do not patranise me? I do not miss the point. My point is that all peoples here at the AJB have diferent things that they like to see. the for sale things are one of those things. That you or other peoples here do not like to see these posts is simple, you do not have to be reading them. It is realy nothing to do with talks but buying and selling things of James Bond which people like to do. Why then to try to stop these peoples from enjoying the AJb? it is not best to let all the peoples here decides for themselfs instead of trying to tell us what we shuld be doing here? you know I will speak against such things always. Peoples are members have the same rights to enjoy what they like here yes? It is best to let them enjoy without such things. Just do not read them as other peoples will not like the politics or even the watches talk, they do not ask for this things to be banned? I think in my opinion that the sale posts shuld go to a area for that as someone said but never shuld peoples be told what they can or cannot post things about when the do not break the rules of the ajb and talk about things about James Bond.
if we wish to turn this group into ditatorship then I will be gone from here.
