Suggestion for Digital Point Forums > Business > Buy, Sell or Trade

    I would like to suggest that in the "Digital Point Forums > Business > Buy, Sell or Trade" section of the forum, (mainly selling domains) that there be a sticky from a admid/mod stating that the poster should include where the domain is registered at, expiration date, bid increments, start and end date of sale etc in the thread!
    I feel that this would help the buyer/seller by having this type of info available in the thread, and make the thread more "reader" friendly!
    Thanks for reading this thread!

    Most people write that unless they are new or just have no idea how to sell something. I am not sure DP needs to tell you how to do everything that is normal common sense. If someone leaves something out, ask questions first before buying. We as members need to do somethings for ourselves not rely on mods to hold our hands through every step. JMO

    Some of them prefer to keep it (the url) with them, there are a few reasons for that.
    Reasons ordered by descending order of importance ;)
    1) They want to keep their thread alive with posts from other users ("PM me url plz")
    2) Sometimes the buyer might have a dmoz listed name (rare occasions) so doesnt want to show it off.
    3) Sellers might wish for "privacy" and not go public with the domain name.

    Your suggestion is good though and has been suggested a lot many times before as well.

    I don't think it's such a bad idea. I'll back it up. But as Michael said, if they don't take the time to read the Buy/Sale/Trade rules, they might not read the stickies either..
