I don't see anything wrong with having a section for photography merchandise or services as long as it's separate from the main forum. Maybe Leaf can work something out to get a percentage of the transaction since he is providing the vehicle?? not sure how that would work but I'm just throwing ideas out there.  Some might see this as spam but, others might find it useful if they can pick up or trade for a camera/lens/lighting/prop from posters they recognize. With thousands of people all buying the same gear there has to be some value there.  :)

I would like to see a section of buy and sell too. I like to get that Pentax FA50mm 1.4 for less than what they offer me here on a new one (180C$). Also a pancake DA 21MM 3.2AL which is way too much for my wallet at the new price (580C$).

And I would like for you to get them at that price too Tan, but not on this forum, they're plenty of other sites where to go and get bargains on photo equipment without turning MSG into a fleemarket, I really don't think this site was originally intended to be one, as far as I know this is a site (so far) for professional discusions, ideas, guidance, updates, advise and a group of friends talking about the same interest "microstock" and other relevant photography issues, I would really hate if it turn otherwise...BTW I have a cow and two goats for sale will you be interested in them (my thoughts and opinion on the matter, all my respect to other people that thinks differently, and want to sell vacuums and chickens on this wonderful site), thats the beauty of it all, in this world we all don't think alike, so Tyler will make his decision and it will be what it will be.

Best regards.

m@m, I am totally with you about selling chickens and vacuum cleaners on this site.
However a buy & sell section like on Fredmiranda, where you just sell/trade/buy photo equipment would be awesome and a valuable service to the MSG members. I do not think it would be "offtopic".
In fact I recently bought something from a member here and that that person was a longtime member here enabled me to trust him. It would be just an additional service MSG would offer. You can easily restrict the access to that section like for example only to full members, so that people who are new cannot post there or even do not see it until they are full members. The Fredmiranda system seems to work very well. If you hate to buy/sell/trade your gear on MSG I suggest to ignore that section, if Tyler decides to create it.

m@m, not to worry i am not going to sell my used running shoes on leaf's forum  ;)
but like Freezingpictures said, it's  one thing about getting a good deal from ebay, and another thing from someone here in the forum who has been with us awhile.
eg. if i were looking for a printer, i would prefer to buy it from cdwheathley who has one for sale.
but no, i don't expect this to be kijiji or craigslist, or even ebay, but a photographic equipment buy/sell/trade section is not off topic...
probably more in topic than say, SuperSalesman selling his or her "How I paid off my student loans and became a millionaire using my DSLR"  ;)

UPDATE a minute later:
oops, i spoke too soon, Tyler's already answer our requests...
