It's the very first thread (with a permanent sticky) on the very first forum.

It may be good tasteful stuff, but it is good tasteful Netiquette to introduce yourself when you're asking strangers to trust that you'll send them something for their cash. This isn't eBay with a buyer protection program.

Hang around. Get to know the culture of the forum. Lot of great people.

i have two pairs of andiamo underwear. I don't like them at all. they are black. they are expensive, and no one wants your used underwear.

Um, why the harsh responses here? First thing I do if I have something used to sell is try to find an appropriate forum with a for sale sub-forum. I've never been told I should introduce myself first. Before piping up with an opinion in a heated discussion, sure, but not just to sell something.

I bought a pair of these and they fit like granny panties in the x small! Since I figured no one would buy used underwear, they got trashed. I replaced them with the Sugoi liner short, which are perfect.

No offense intended, but I have to agree w/SK.

I would only purchase things from someone whose been here awhile and gotten to know virtually.

It probably would be better for the OP to sell her stuff on e-bay, where people could see her "rating."

On this forum, we ask people to introduce themselves all the time.

I also participate in other forums where people sell stuff quite successfully -- only when they are a known member or vouched for by a known member. The rest? Their stuff lanquishes. I'm not sure why my suggestion to introduce oneself to get a better response is "harsh."

[lph]

Yeah, I know we often ask people to introduce themselves, I've done so myself. But it was the implication that it was a breach of netiquette not to do so that I meant when I said harsh. Well, that, and the "dirty underwear" comment. No big deal, I was just a bit surprised.

[SadieKate]

lph, I think part of what makes the difference on this forum is that it is a relatively small group compared to many forums where you can just get lost in the masses. That's why I made the comment about the "culture of this forum."

Every party is different whether you are in person or on line. When in Rome, etc., etc., etc.

thanks for the rebuttle on the "dirty underwear comment" as I would never be distasteful enough to sell dirty... i tried them on over a protective layer and they did not fit , so I want to sell them to someone who will like them. I enjoy not trashing things that are worth something to someone, and if theyre not, I will give them away to a thrift store. sorry guys, but why all they heat? Im just selling a few things from my closet and I cant believe the controversy it has caused. get real and have a nice day, cuz some of these comments are making me not want to hang around in this exclusivity of a "free-for-all" website. anyways- have you ever tried to sell on ebay? its awful and I dont work that way, I prefer community based...is that cool?

[SadieKate]

Yeah, it's cool. But members of a community know each other. Hie thee to the "getting to know you link" I provided.

[Bicibellacey]

one more thing... were all here to learn, make connections, teach, and maybe sell a few things to eachother.... if you prefer to buy from someone you know... then do that... but dont get all crazy on trying to silly out
my sell by saying "we prefer to know you", thats fine, but not everyone feels that way as I have an interested buyer already that has no group identity problems. Just a nice girl who wants some shorts. isnt that all were really talking about here?
