Guys
I hang out on Benzworld as well (now stop throwing stones you know damn well so do a lot of you reading this) and it bemuses me that MBWorld doesn't have a Model Specific Buy/Swap/Sell section for the members.

Really I don't have any interest in a 2003 CLK door skin 0 I am interested in what fits my W124 model car ! Yes I then have to search a bit further for the 300CE but what the heck - at least I know the stuff I am searching through is relative to what I have interest in !

So let's have a poll

Who is for a model buy/swap/sell section i.e W124 ?
Who isn't ?

Sounds good to me - I was just looking for fender - but it's a little deep there with everything else.

Can't see why they wouldn't - all it needs is a new STICKY at the start of each forum !

At the risk of plagirism this is what the other forum has

Sticky: W124 marketplace: Sale/Wanted/Trade/Giveaway ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

When you say set, do you mean 1/2/3/4? If 4 and CLK lightweights, I may have to have speaks with you Neanderthal

Edit:
It would be useful I think, however, I doubt the administration here would ever add it.

IF THAT DON'T BEAT ALL !
Jeeeez H Christmas !

Today I spent ages posting a link to the poll about BUY/SWAP/SELL and got slapped on the wrists for SPAMMING and told

"... My suggestion to post your idea in the feedback forum was not an invitation to spam every sub-forum. Please note posting the same content across forums (cross posting) is not allowed. All but your post in the feedback forum will be removed. I appreciate your understanding. Thanks!..."

Okay I can live with that - but it was the only way I could see of getting everyone to think about the idea.

SO WHAT DO I SEE when I log back in ?????

SPONSOR'S POSTING THEIR ADS ACROSS MULTIPLE FORUMS (ie CROSS POSTING) .... NOW IF THAT AIN'T SPAM WHAT IS ?????

Yes fully comprehend that BUT (as I put to them) this whole concept of a BUY/SWAP/SELL in each Class Forum would give them 60+ more opportunities to gain a sponsor who wants to put his/her company name up at the top of a sticky post !!!

And one that will be exposed every time a forum user goes to page 1 !!!!!!
Just as some of them are on the overall forum listing at the top level.

48 to 1 - not a bad endorsement of the idea !
Management have noticed - lets see whether they decide to implement it !

Mind you I almost got my *** kicked off trying to gain support for the idea (well no one said that but I think if i had continued my agressive tactics it would have been bye bye MBWorld hello BENZWorld LOL

Uh Oh RHW on the warpath !

I know who it is - it was one of the first responses I got when I posted my question all over the forums and almost ended up in NEVER NEVER LAND !

He's a Super Member who drives CL55, G500 Hybrid, Audi 5000.

Each to his own I guess RWH - but it was funny that he alone stood out and said NAHHHHHHHH !. Everyone else has been very much in favour of it and the forum admin guy was most undertsanding. What I don;t quite understand is why they think it is such a major change for the board.
I mean it isn't that hard to put a sticky in place - hell they did it for the gawd-awful advertising of totally un-related stuff at the top of every forum just days after I started my campaign. Hahahahhahahaha

Well let's give them some time to consider the suggestion.
I can do no more than that !
