First let me say thank you to the members for the incredible wealth of knowledge on the forums. I'm much more familiar with the acoustic guitar forums, in particular AGF so please take these suggestions as newbie feedback.
Since this is a different suggestion for the marketplace than the current thread, I thought I'd start a new one.
Under the UU forum rules, item #8 pertaining to the marketplace suggests a few common sense points in listing an item for sale. I would look to the AGF marketplace as a guide for a more concrete set of rules. Even though uker's are way more laid back
1. When listing an item for sale, you must post an asking price. No best offers or "email me" for the price. This takes the "game" and the ambiguity out of buying and selling.
I think this works well on AGF and would do well here. It puts the responsibility on the seller to look at current market value and decide where in that range they are pricing their instrument. It looks like most of the members do this however a few listings I've looked at have not posted a price.
2. I'm not sure if sellers can place linked images from photobucket or other image hosting sites. Although it's nice to have the images hosted on the UU forum, they are limited in resolution and size.
Again, please take these as a new member's response to looking at and learning from the forums. I've only purchased one Uke from the UU marketplace, (UAS withstanding) and it was a perfect transaction. No complaints.
But in looking at some of the ads I think these rules would be helpful.
