      @sabergirl:

      Per [mention]Bums_Fan [/mention] ‘s original question, I think unfortunately the marketplace sales have dropped off since way before these changes. Seems to me that the bottom has dropped out of the used IH market—used to be UHF was high demand and fetched a good price, and rare flannels would get snapped up in a heartbeat. Now things languish away for months, even after slashing prices. [mention]Clint_D [/mention] May have noticed this difference, as he has threads full of classic gear that nobody is moving on. This holds true across platforms. I usually post items first here, then on eBay and grailed. For at least the past year it feels like stuff I was sure would be quick sales I was dropping prices and bumping threads for months. Some of those things are still in the closet.

      As for my personal buying habits, I check the forum, eBay and grailed daily for inexpensive Iron Heart, mostly to add to my own collection, but sometimes with an eye to re-sell and find other purchases. I don’t typically go so far as to buy things I couldn’t/wouldn’t realistically ever wear.

        It's just a suggestion but it might also be a good idea to divide the marketplace into two groups (or more if reasonable): Sellers who 1) ship worldwide and 2) only ship to EU/US. This way, it would be much easier to browse the marketplace, waste less time on finding relevant threads and avoid people asking "do you ship to X" despite the thread mentioning clearly that one does not.

          I’ve been members on a lot of forums and it seems the limit (although tedious for newbies like me) is warranted. I was a member years back on a forum and the spamming flooded the buy sell forums. It was a mess.

          I’m new to iron heart in general. It’s something I’ve longed for but never pulled the trigger on until recently. Hoping once I hit my 20, I can find some good deals on gear and share some of my own.

            I suppose this encourages lurkers like me to be more involved in the community.

                    First post: count me in as another forum lurker that came across this thread thanks to the Facebook group.  I was bummed to see the marketplace 'disappear', but totally understand the reasoning (I write while wearing a flannel purchased from the marketplace).

                    I'm new to Iron Heart, but changed that in a big way this year by first picking up IH-555S-21, then the anniversary IHSH-332-SAX, and just recently the beautiful IHM-37-ODG!  I guess I found a silver lining from having to retire my PBJs.

                    Big thanks to AJ, Bailey, Alex, Graham, and everyone else who has helped me either directly or indirectly.

                      This coming weekend we will get rid of the board Going, Going, Gone. It serves little purpose and scammers are using it to list products for sale as they now cant get access to the buying and selling threads.

                        Ditto what Turnstyle said; was beginning to second guess my memory of there ever having been a marketplace on the forum…

                        Good shout on the new rules though. Will definitely prompt more engagement from long-time lurkers/fewer-posters (see what I'm doing here?) 🙂

                          I guess this is my first post so I can access the market again. I've been a lurker for years but never wanted to dive too far in because if I get hooked, there goes all of my money  😃

                                    Earlier you had topics with buying /selling other brands. I can't see those topics now. Is it still possible to buy /sell other brands on this forum?

                                        People buy and sell many many brands on the forum. You need to post 20 times before that part of the forum is open to you though.
