Hi there!
I am running a board where users can buy / sell / trade stuff like videogames / movies / etc.
The board is extremely customized to me needs but the forum software is technically outdated. So I want to switch to vB 4.2.x. Now I am looking for a MOD for the marketplace / buy / sell / trade functionality. So I found Classifieds. Unfortunately there are some features I miss and I have some question I hope you can answer.
So lets start...
1. Multiple item support
When a user wants to sell for example 100 different Blu-ray movies, right now he can list all of the movies in the first post of his thread. Then other users reply to his post asking for a specific title. After discussing price, etc. the topic starter / seller can "trigger" a deal button for each reply to his thread and close a deal with the said user. After that he edits his starting post.
If using Classifieds the seller would have to create 100 ads (one for each movie). Apart from being far too complex there would be no option to sell more than one item the same time to one buyer easily.
So...is there any form of "multiple item support" in the works? So in theory it should be possible that the seller can list more than one item in an ad and the interested buyer can choose some of the items and then place an offer for them. If the seller is ok with the offer he can confirm it to close the deal without closing the whole ad. After completing the trade feedback can be given for every deal that has been closed.
This leads to my next question:
2. Link to forum threads
Is there an option to automatically create a thread in a specific category of the regular forum when creating a classifieds ad with a link to said thread within the just created ad? So buyer und seller can use this automatically created thread to discuss item conditions, price, etc.?
Maybe u have this functionality in the PRO version of classifieds? What again leads to my next question...
3. Differences between PRO and LITE version
Where do I find the differences between the two versions?
I think I would have a few more questions but to start with it would be great to hear from you guys. Let me know if you understand what I am thinking of. I think that there is really no good solution for a buy / sell / trade forum I am running and you would absolutely fill a gap when implementing said features.
Thanks,
Dimitri
