what is MM boards

jonny512379 · 27 Jun 2011 at 16:55

I keep seen references to the "MM Boards" and i believe this is where used parts can be brought and sold. However i can not see it in the forum lists.
Is there an entry requirement and if so what is it as i can find no general info on these boards (other than reference to it).

Thanks

its the members market, you need to of been a member for so long or made so many posts.

Sorry if this is the case......

After thought:
Maybe OCuk should ask for "small donations" to add items for sale (including the members requirements still of course) as this is very good of a hardware retail company to allow this, especially when they make no money from it.
I would feel much happier buying from members here than well known auction sites.
I would also be happy to make small donations in order to sell a few items i acquire from time to time.

sorry if my comments are "wrong", but why?

if ocuk took donations, then if a deal went **** up the buyer would expect ocuk to sort it. i think that would then cause a lot of problems for them that they dont really want.
9/10 the deals go through fine, but its a member-member deal and ocuk take no responsability (i think) which is better for them.

I do see your point, which is why i though donations would be better (i.e no fixed fee and no promise of anything in return). Possibly a bad idea though, must be the "Dell Boy" in me coming out. ("this time next year OCuk will be Millio.....errr..... Billionairs" :cool:
