Buying & Selling Vaping Bits?

[vapeaholics]

Hi All,

Not sure if I have the right section....Please correct me if it isn't.

As most of you know eBay does not condone selling or buying of anything e-cig related.

After noticing this and being the dimwit that I am, I constantly buy things that I end up not wanting or using. I thought to myself how can I shift the bits I don't need.

Not only this but I thought to myself wouldn't it be great if you could find vendors like you do on eBay.

So after thinking and thinking I came up with the idea to set up a vaping only ebay type buy and sell site (you can even ask for items "Wanted ads" as well as swap items with other users)

You can list your items just like you do on eBay (Listing fees apply but no selling fees apply)

Vendors can also set up shops and sell via the site.

Anyways Im sure you can all see for yourself:

Most of our members seem happy enough to list their 'wanted' and 'for sale' items for free on the classified board

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=classified

I also find it easy to find e-cig vendors on this board

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=suppliers

and this thread is particularly useful as it lists discount codes

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=suppliers&thread=2&page=1#2

Does this count as a vendor status?

If so, Its in the wrong place, and the OP has to register before posting!

Maybe I should have been more specific. Fees only apply to add listing to certain catagories. Also Vendors shops there is a one off fee for different types of shops but there is a basic option which is free.

My thinking, is that anyone who posts something for sale there, will also post it in our classies, UKV and other forums.
Either they are selling it too dear, or its going to be confusing deciding who got the 1st PM in.
I`ll stick with our classies thanks.

Good luck with your venture though

At the moment you seem to have listed the same kits that you were giving away on this forum Are they not any good then?

[vapeaholics]

If you haven't already noticed I am not pulse-cigarettes...Pulse cigarettes has posted up the kits on the site! Most of the kits given away by pulse were to AAEC members!!

I am fed up of this forum and the negative comments I receive each time I post. I don't think that it is a nice attitude to adopt seen as you have sections for new vapers. The attitude that some (Not all people) have shown me since signing up to this forum has put me off posting here. It is not a case I was trying to take away from your "classified boards" I was just mearly sharing with the forum but in the future I will think twice before I come back here to post things "vaping" related after all I thought this was a vaping forum!!

[Brian]

Too much coincidence here with your blogging thread, so Im out.

Firstly I'll say thanks for the pulse kit , surprisingly it is quite good .

However you are receiving negative comments simply because you are banging on about pulse products , and even though we have appreciated your input regarding Pulse and bringing the product to our attention , I think I speak for a few people , in that we really don't want to hear it every time you post , if you think that is bad attitude from the community then so be it , you may find yourself welcome in other fora

I second Storms thoughts.

We are a tight knit community in here, unlike others around.

Thanks for the offer but we`ll be fine with our own aaecbay

I can't see what advantage this has over buying and selling, for free on the numerous Classified Boards around the various forums Vapeaholics.

Good luck with it, it's been done and abandoned before now . . .

[vapeaholics]

Just to clarify again........It is FREE to list a basic listing but for those who want premium features pay!! Simple. I am not pushing any brand in anyones face....People have there own mind and there own choice! If pulse want to post on vapebay who am I to tell them not to??

This forums tagline says it is a friendly place where everyone is welcome.

IMO it's not friendly it's actually very hostile and as already mentioned "Tight Knit" It also claims everyone is welcome....That's not true! Unless you express the opinions of those who seem to be the main users on the forum you are not welcome and given a rather frosty reception!

Everyone bashes on about promoting vaping....People who try to do something positive in regards to vaping AAEC seems to shoot them down!

You get a Frosty reception for pushing overly expensive alternatives to skycigs ... nuff said

We are friendly to people who don't try to extract the urine ,

quite a few of us have been vaping quite some time , so when a "noob" comes along bible bashing about this wonderful new product , what on earth do you expect ? a red carpet

God, I hate to keep agreeing with Storm FFS.

But he is right. We have been vaping for a fair while. And any genuine newbie who stumbles in looking for advice, is clutched to our chests and everything is explained.
No question is too silly, all questions answered.

You havent asked a question about vaping.

You`ve come here twice, and both times its just to push your own ideas on what WE should do.

Go and see what reaction you get on the other forums. Pretty much the same response, I`ll wager.
