Can we add a "pay it forward section"? Sometimes I have stuff I just want to be rid of. Like the set of BBC hooker headers that have been hanging around my shop for 4 years.
And maybe a buyer/seller feedback section......maybe.

kinda like a "freebie" section?
I was also contemplating a buyer/seller review and a vendor/shop review section(s)

this is how some of the other forums i go to do it
Pay it Forward
Big Saint had a great idea. This forum is for people who have something to offer up for Free. The rules are simple. 1) The person who is getting the item pays the shipping. 2) You can not request an item unless you have offered up an item as well. 1 items offered must be reasonably equivalent in value of items requested. 3) First valid request wins.
This forum is for people who have something to offer up for Free. The rules are simple.
1) The person who is getting the item pays the shipping. Not paying for shipping after a deal is made and the item is sent will result in permanent banning from the site. It is recommended that the shipping costs be sent upfront. If the item is not sent after the shipping costs have been sent, it will result in permanent banning from the site.
It is also recommended that you only deal with members that have at least 200 posts to their name. This avoids someone coming in just to get free stuff, it also adds a bit more credibility to the member, however nothing is guaranteed.
2) You can not request an item unless you have offered up an item as well. 1 Over the long run it would be good if the items offered are equivalent in value of items requested. This is an honour system, please do not abuse it. Requesting an item and then selling it on Ebay will ban you from being illegible for Pay it Forward in the future. It may even get you banned from the site.
3) First valid request wins.
Your request post must include a link to the other items that the requestor has offered up. Failing to post the items that are being offered makes the request invalid. The request will go to the next person that has posted assuming it is valid and meets the above criteria
Have fun with this concept, and remember the intent of this is to give not to get. Do not try to take advantage of peoples generosity.
Thanks,

I think all these forum ideas are great, but it applies to forums that have a large member base and helps to sort through the 1000's of posts made each day. As our member base grows it would deffinitely be helpful to have more sub-forums within the site.
