Moving the Knifemaker's For Sale area back to the Exchange - feedback?

[Spark]

We've had a couple requests / suggestions to move the KnifeMaker's for sale area back to the Exchange category. What are your opinions?

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Why ?? what would this accomplish and how would it improve the forum ?? Please help my pea brain understand .

Actually, as a custom maker I like having our own small little spot here .

 

[james terrio]

I'm torn. One point of view would be, why NOT have all the For Sale sections together? Why hide the actual custom knives off in their own corner? How many folks miss the Knives For Sale section completely, not knowing where to look?

These are just questions, I don't really have any answers. Frankly I've been meaning to pony up for a Knifemaker's membership again for some time, but I'm holding off until all this gets settled.

I think with the new rules (applying the same to the Knife Makers FS threads) it would be a good consolidation idea.

the rules do apply to us also .

The combined traffic is one of the reasons we are considering this - people sometimes don't leave the exchange area at all, and this will increase the number of views the Knifemaker's For Sale area gets.

Second, you may have noticed the new sort order - and the side effect of us now allowing you to have commentary and discussion in your for sale threads. Previously commentary and discussion were discouraged, now it's not a problem.

To be honest, I often forget about the custom knifemaker's own area when i do my twice/thrice/every 2 hour daily Exchange browsing.

I like the Maker's stuff where it is. That's my $0.02.

Would it be possible to make a link in the exchange section that connects back to the Knifemakers for sale area?

Yup, that's what I was clumsily trying to say. I do think the new rules about comments and so forth make sense. :thumbup:

I second the motion

 

[Spark]

There already is one. If we do move the forums over there, however, I can easily create a link from here to the Knifemaker for sale area in the Exchange.

+1 for a link from the exchange into the Knifemaker's FS area. I'm all for anything that increases our visibility and traffic but think it should be independent from the factory goods and general exchange.
nm, just read Spark's comment. I don't go to the exchange much and didn't notice we already had a link.

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Ah , more eye's more buyers . I'm good to go with that .

 

[Mark Knapp]

I vote leave it where it is, thanks

Sounds like a great idea! Greater visibility = more potential buyers. :thumbup:

I think Makers are specialLeave us beThanks for all your work Spark:thumbup:

Exchange area should be for all buying or trading I think.

Sounds like more eyes the better to me.

Indavidual and dealer are already segmented in the exchange area so indavidual, dealer, and maker make since to me.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

The way I see it, anything that increases visibility is a good thing. I'm for it.

thanks for asking

 

[Danbo]

Ah , more eye's more buyers .

That would be enough reason right there. :thumbup:
