IMPORTANT: Members Market access

[vail3r]

Is there heavy MM usage with the grandfathered lot then? I can’t remember buying or selling on there :/

I’ve used it a little, didn’t even remember requirements I’ve just had it for ages

For some members, yes.

I’ve seen how MM works. You *say* we need 1000 posts to be eligible, someone offers 200 and you end up settling on 753 plus p&p

Well it’s a gangster theme so…naturally bribes are accepted

OK then, how mucha da moola gets me reinstated to the magic mafia bring and buy sale.

Yarp.

There are a fair few who were grandfathered in from something like 10 or 15 years ago and haven't hit enough posts outside of MM to meet the current requirements.

I lost access for bumping my post years ago.
Won't even give me access back.
Terrible tbh.. heh

 

[Gundam God]

Never had access. Every time I got close the goal posts moved.

 

[Doggie2k]

As long as I can type rubbish in the gaming and crypto forums I am happy

 

[Andromeda1983]

Okey doke!

I'm fortunate enough to be able to buy pretty much anything I want new (at least, when it comes to computer parts!) and family and friends get my old stuff. Still, would be nice to have the option, rather than having to resort to Amazon marketplace or (shudder) eBay.

One must ask for forgiveness. Restitution comes to those who deserve it. Are you deserving? I would hope so.

i waited eagerly for 10 years for MM access as it took me that long to do 1000 posts. i thought it'd be full of bargains but it isn't really imo, things mostly sell for market value afaik.

You're not haggling properly.

Lotta folks have unrealistic expectations, but there are some good deals in there.

Haggling is the best though. Only on the MM do you get people withdrawing from a sale over a quid.

There are often deals, freebies and other good stuff going on in there. However, even if items are market value, you generally have the benefit of knowing where it came from (can often see in the wider forum when someone bought something, what they've used it for etc), and ofter sellers are happy to help with warranty claims and the like

Figuring out MM prices is easy.

Look to see what it sells for on commercial second hand sites and slash that price.

I sold a GTX 970 recently on the MM. The buyer had a wanted thread and had suggested a GTX 970 was worth £50. I corrected him and sold it for £20 + delivery.

I trust that most buyers on the MM are buying for a good cause.

As someone said earlier in the thread you need to play the MM game.

Come in with an offer of 50% less than asking, seller comes back and agrees as long as buyer covers postage, buyer says "YoU'rE TaKiNg ThE pEe M8!" leaves a passive aggressive GL with sale message. 3 weeks later seller drops price to less than initially offered and someone buys it.
