Does anyone look in the Trade section?

People post good deals there but hardly anyone looks at the threads. I've posted a couple myself which only have 1 view and that's probably from me. Don't you like me?! :hmm: Or do people just see the thread title and go and search for themselves?

Just curious!

EDIT: Whoops, my poll question makes no sense whatsoever [can I edit it!?]. It's supposed to say 'Do you look in the Trade section?'

I never have either. I simply forgot of its existence. Plus there's Ebay.

There are always good deals in there, and links to sites with good deals. I should be getting a £5 voucher for Play.com thanks to it :)

I'm too broke to afford seeing something and then wanting to purchase it.

I used it once, on the old C-E, to get some old magazines. It worked OK, but to be honest I don't really look there anymore.

eBay is the man's realm of trade.

No, simply because I am not willing to sell or buy games over forums.

Hmm, perhaps that why some people don't look. The board doesn't just contain private sales and trades.

All the threads I post on the Trade board are links to good deals on the web at sites like Play, Simply Games, GAME, DVDBlah, etc.

Perhaps it should be renamed 'For Sale/Bargain Board' like it was in the old C-E forums so people know what it's about.

I dont look that often, perhaps as i know when all the deals are happening.

How come you don't post to let everyone else know?! :heh:

I take a look every so often as there are some nice deals posted on there, but I wouldn't really buy off there unless it was someone well respected around these parts.

I have a look at least once a day to see what's there.

I also look in there quite a few times a week..........

Also don't trust the number that signifies the amount of times a page has been viewed, as if you look down gen-chat or any other board, you'll notice that nearly every thread has one more view than the amount of posts in it.

Surely this isn't correct! :wtf:

That's not right at all, there should be at least 2 views for every reply.

If I recall correctly, it's a tiny bug in the boards.

I always have a look if there's a new post, I've bought a couple of things thanks to your posts recently Locky. I noticed no one looked in the thread I made either.
