regarding low 'FOR SALE' posts?
Hi Guys,
I've been into xtx/r models for some years now. I've owned more than a dozen in various forms of condition from smashed to pristine, quite often I have parts left over and am looking at making steel panels and some other nice mods for the bikes here in the Philippines. (I'm also based in Australia). My concern is that with a forum of 11,000+ members I can only see a set of triple clamps and a pair of exhausts for sale from ages ago. How can we (admin I mean) go about offering more items for sale? I would also like to know out of these members how many supporters there are, but the link doesn't work. I think it's important to have a good trading base for members as parts are rare for these bikes and often overpriced. maybe some changes can be made so that more members can offer items for sale? maybe have a cap on how many posts a member can have in the 'for sale/trading' section? lower the fees for the supporters or even make a one off lifetime payment that isnt a yearly thing. just my 2 bobs worth guys. I know being a mod is hard and running a great forum like this isnt for the money. so please understand I do appreciate the great work done by all but was hoping to seea bit more healthy trading between members. thanks team! |

I think a lot of items get put on Ebay, plus for a lot of people the cost of postage for heavy items. ..exhausts etc puts them off. I'm sure there is a business opportunity for someone to specialise in XT parts. I personally think the membership cost is tiny for what you get in return. ...Steve

Hello hypoboang, you've got my attention now. No.1 the link to view the supporters does work, I've just checked, try it again please http://www.captnmoto.co.uk/stats/xts...rsdatabase.xls 2,3,4, and the rest of your questions... Everything has been tried and tested and for the time being we are not looking at changing this format because WE (admins) need this forum to be as low maintenance as possible, we've all got day jobs, that take most of our time, the evening after work we need our rest and to catch up with our family and other hobbies, so very little time is left to carry on intensive tasks on the forum. The platform is set for the users to assist each other and to benefit from the knowledge base which we have managed to build and publish in the last 10 years the forum has existed. For anything else the platform does not pay us enough to be an ebay surrogate and ultimately, the forum is run at a loss from yours truly, because on my account are: webspace providers fees, internet domain yearly subscription, vBulletin software license fees and yearly bug fixing fees, even the fees for the photo gallery keep going up every year. Thanks for your interest. |

If you need to move the old stuff/spares etc in a hurry put it online in a ebay auction and make sure that you select the right region. Just select "will ship worldwide" and ask that potential buyer inquire about postage cost to their destination.
If you have the time just use other online sites like craigslist or ebay-kleinanzeigen * etc. and post a link here. A search engine is normally good to find the parts when you search for it ... * I did not now of this before i searched for a replacement visior for a now discontinued helmet. Ended up buying a used but just-as-new helmet from Germany for 1/3 of the last list price of a visor ...
