It is against forum rules.

Yeah, I'm assuming for legal reasons, they don't want to be involved in any transactions, even if they are the means of communication...most forums do offer a classifieds thread though.

No, it's direct competition with Axiom.

I see a Classifieds Section as one way to bring trash to the site. Sure it would be nice if I could sell a dvd player or cable but I see more negatives like people joining just for the purpose of selling goods. Its an Axiom owned message board anyways. Adding drama and unnecessary traffic is never a good thing and the Axiom forum is one of the few that has very little drama. I like the forum just the way it is, discussing Axiom products, troubleshooting and talking about booze, tunes and food. There are plenty of audio sites out there that have classifieds where you can sell your gear.

Ken, I was thinking more like a Axiom only product thread, I don't think it would detour from Axiom sales. I look at it like I could sell my old stuff easier, and by new stuff from Axiom, everyone wins.

Axiom has a trade in program for existing owners of Axiom products, so yes it would act as a deterrent to future sales (maybe not in your case but everyone will not act like that). You would probably have an easier time selling goods in a established classified section such as Audioholics which has way more traffic going through it and potential buyers.

Direct competition?? You have to be kidding. Does Axiom sell video processors, anamorphic lenses, projectors, Denon products, Squeeze Boxes, External hard drives, cameras, etc…? There are a lot of folks, like myself, who want to upgrade their speakers to real wood. By selling my vinyl rapped speakers here, someone makes out with some used speakers and Axiom still gets my business. The trade in program is not worth it. Not even remotely. By the time you buy enough stuff to get the full value of your trade, you’ve just bought enough for two homes. Then you have the shipping costs of several hundred pounds of stuff to Axiom, which kills any value you may get with the program. There is no “liability”. That’s ridiculous.

The whole point of a classifieds section here, is this is a somewhat small community and everyone who has been around for a while knows a thing or two about the rest of the members. There’s a bit more trust here than one of the other on-line places to buy used stuff.
