haha, yes thats a title i aquired after telling chrs to push sales!

Just seen in another thread your doing your job!

Yer... thought i better do somthing now i have the reputation (and title) of a sales person!

Haha would be ace to be on there, Michlle started at Quicksave, i've started at Sainsbury's so its already looking good

Well you never know!!

Ok you said that a shop page would only sale stickers why only stickers? You could sell Jumpers, T-Shirts, Hats and all kinds of other items. Could even have a traders section where you could there gear with the discounts they are giving on this site (if they let you). The other thing is that at places like Ford Fair and Fiesta in the Park you could sell the stuff there to. Just a suggestion

That really is a great idea, in theory, and we have looked into it previously, but it just isnt viable. We run this site with our own time and our own money. So when buying something we have to risk our own hard earned cash in the hope that it sells. And usually with that sort of stuff you have to buy lots. Plus we would want it high quality and to look good. It would just be a complete nightmare, and all being pretty busy people we just wouldn't have the time.

If this was a paid membership site then maybe it would be different. And you never know maybe sometime in the future someone will come up with a good way of doing this, but for now its just not feasible. But as i say, it is a good idea

why not just for ideas making some different type of design for clothes like T shirt or other then see who would like to order one, when u got approx numbers of order go to the shop or what ever u call it then ask how much it would cost to do produce with the numbers of people order! then after u know the price and if order still want to order then ask to be pay before doing then! therefore won't have to advance the money!

Yes but in doing all of that, someone is going to have to sort out all the designs, ring round lots of people trying to get quotes, having test ones done, quality tested, and then work out how we are going to deliver them, where to store them. Even posting them, that then becomes more of a hassle as its not just a case of popping them in an envelope and in the post box, each one of these then becomes a parcel.

It may not sound like much effort to you, but trust me, it takes a lot, and when you have a full time job, just moderating the board is hard sometimes, let alone adding in stuff like that. Maybe some of the other mods may feel they could squeeze it in, but i know they are just as busy as me usually so its unlikely this is going to happen for the moment.

Ok fair enuf it would be good tho maybe sometime in the future maybe. Thats another question how come you are one of few that dont charge ppl for membership?

Well for a start we have a very generous admin (hugh) who doesn't post on the board anymore but he still keeps an eye on things from time to time. He pays for the server costs out of his own pocket and doesn't want an paid membership type thing to repay back the costs. And thats whats helped made the site what it is, a totally free, open forum for anyone and everyone to use. Also means you get a wide range of views which helps keep things balanced.

What us admins and mods do, is purely for the love of the site, plus the car, which is the whole reason why we joined in the first place. Certainly when i first joined over 2 years ago (eeek!!) the site had only really just started growing, so having watched it, and helped it, grow to what it is today thats why we are happy to help keep it a free and open forum. Cos obviously that formula works

Yeah total agree and he is a very generous admin.

Didn't know all that!!

Hats off to Hugh

And of course the mods, admin's and ahem.. spammers
