jesusno2 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 how come we dont have a area for like vendors, or a specific place for people who make parts for our datto's? I know theirs the for sale section. It would be nice for a specific place and leave the for sale section for used parts. Just a thought take it or leave it. Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 This is a great idea. Especially if I ever get around to milling custom made fender and deck badges. :) Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 When you do, post them in the for sale thread, and if they are popular enough your post will get sticked near the top! Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 We have the parts for sale section for that. If you have parts for sale, post them there. Icehouse sells custom parts there, as well as Steriod and a few others, seems to work well that way. :) 1 Link to comment
fastdadd Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 it would be cool to have a "ratsun garage" store section that has services for sale.....stickers,tee shirts,custom made parts..ect 1 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ratsun provides a place for contributing members to sell/buy parts. We aren't here to provide space for others who are only interested in selling some product or service. 1 Link to comment
exit64 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Check out the vendor section on 311s.org. It is a very handy resource. It's Roadster specific but I have always thought that something like this would be very helpful on Ratsun. Link to comment
kaoss Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 lots of sites have gone to this. Easier to find specific products that are produced new rather then go through sencond hand stuff to find what you are looking for. Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 would be nice....but I just bump my stuff back to the top every now and then..... Link to comment
jon521 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 We aren't here to provide space for others who are only interested in selling some product or service. it wouldnt be any product or service, it would be datsun parts that people have made, for example disk brake brackets Link to comment
INDY510 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 .

]2eDeYe Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 it wouldnt be any product or service, it would be datsun parts that people have made, for example disk brake brackets That would be a product. They are for sale in the Datsun Parts for sale section. Link to comment
Skib Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 the whole vendors section thing has come up before.... and weve decided against it every time. we dont encourage people coming here just to use the forum for free advertising.... .... because that contributes nothing to the community, and thats what Ratsun is. products for sale can go in the parts for sale section. 3 Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 100% with the mods on this. Link to comment
DanielC Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I am also in agreement with the moderator on this also. They have enough to do running this forum already. Probably more than you could even imagine. Thank you, moderators, administrators, and any other behind the scene people. Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 And we all chimed in, that's that! In B4 Teh Lock Link to comment
kaoss Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Then charge the vendors that want to be in the vendors section. Win win. Link to comment
nismo dr Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 until said vendor fuck over someone and they blame the site, since they accepted money their reputation is now on the line as well Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 until said vendor fuck over someone and they blame the site, since they accepted money their reputation is now on the line as well That would be like blaming Ratsun for any bad sellers in the for sale section.. I'd assume any transaction done would be buyer beware. Personally.. I think it would be good to welcome people selling wares for our datto's as parts and little gizmos are hard to sort though at time on ebay due to all the crap that gets listed.. Plus some venders give out prizes and everyone loves prizes! Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Just seems kinda fucked up that we can have a spot for basically porn. But no place for people trying to "contribute" to the datsun scene. I personally don't like bumping my own threads I feel like a pompus ass doing that all the time. The for sale section shit disappears, The search engine sucks. The only sticky I see is Icehouses stuff, nothing against jeff but seems a bit unfair. I'm not complaining about Ratsun but I think it could be a way better place. Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 .... because that contributes nothing to the community, and thats what Ratsun is. products for sale can go in the parts for sale section. There is no reason for a separate section. The community gets/finds/provides for/by/with its members. Have had no prollem getting/finding/buying things that I need... 1 Link to comment
Burabuda Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 comeon man this shoulda coulda woulda been done via pm. lock this shit up Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I kinda think it would be a good idea. But no vendors who arent actually apart of the forum. I mean all the currently pinned topics. Anyone who is selling stickers. Beebani's brackets he sells. All the FutoFab stuff (yes I have seen him around the forum contributing). Jesusno2 disc brake brackets. Klotz's various kits. Fisch's art. Pretty much anyone that has a repeatable item for sale. Most importantly this would be instead of only making certain products be a sticky, almost making the seem more important. Better forum organization, yes. Absolutely needed, no; being kind and nice to the various people who help the forum out, yes. I dont really care either way. I find everything just fine. But newbs may not. Link to comment
