Title: Buy Sell or Swap
Post by: Wild Rover on September 28, 2017, 21:05:22 PM
Hi All,

Why is there not a buy sell or swap section on the forum? Surely with properties changing hands this would be a great section!

There used to be a selling section but it became fairly redundant. There are a variety of local Spanish and English facebook hosted member sites for buying and selling. Links for English ones below.

Hi Chollis, unfortunately me and the other half are not on Facebook and never have been. I have seen so much trouble caused by what people have and have not put on Facebook, people fired from their jobs because of Facebook. We were brought up not put everything in the shop window and not to wash your dirty linen in public so as to speak. A little old fashioned some would say but it has kept ourselves out of trouble and our friends are still friends. I know there are good aspects but I think the negatives out weigh the positives. There is not a day goes by where someone I know either personally or at work isn't arguing or justifying what they did or didn't do on Facebook. It's like driving all day and trying not to see an Eddie Stobbart Wagon, it can't be done! End of rant, sorry!

Just post on here, if you have something to sell! There's no admin, so even if it gets taken off, it'll be seen by hundreds of potential buyers before anything happens.  ;)

Totally agree with you Wild Rover we have never joined for precisely those reasons.

Would it not be possible for someone in the know to set up another category "Sales & swaps"
