The new, purpose-built Gear For Sale/Trade area is up! You can find it where you would have found the old Gear For Sale/Trade Forums before. Click here for a list of the sub-categories in the new format.
What did we do with the old Gear For Sale / Trade Forums, and all of the threads within them? We changed each of the old Gear For Sale/Trade Forums into a sub-forum of its new counterpart. For example, if you go into the new Headphones For Sale/Trade are, you will find a sub-forum within it called Headphone For Sale/Trade Archive. These archived (old version) For Sale/Trade categories will no longer allow new threads to be created in them. To post a new for sale/trade post, you must use the new system. However, to allow the completion of existing deals, responses are currently still allowed in the Archive areas.
Also, you may have noticed that we have instituted new feedback functionality, integrated with each user profile. Unfortunately, we were unable to import any previous user feedback from the old feedback threads into each respective profile. If you have a lot of established feedback under the old user feedback thread system, we suggest you place a link to it in your signature. For example, Head-Fi moderator/administrator Currawong has feedback in the old system that he could put a link to in his signature--maybe something like:
My archived buyer/seller feedback
If you are considering buying or trading with someone, we highly suggest searching the archived feedback area for any archived feedback for the user you are considering transacting with (assuming he has any archived feedback) when performing your due diligence ahead of the transaction.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post them in this thread.
