Can we have seperate regions for the sale threads?

It may be easier if it’s causing upset to block that poster so you don’t see their posts, I have not checked but I know that most forums have this option.
As a NeoGeo fan myself what upsets me is how bad the condition of all the carts in general now are, it used to be apart from being very cheap MVS carts had serials and great condition labels... I guess all the good ones are now sat on a collectors shelf.

I just assume there’s nowt worth buying.
Works 99% of the time
Edit: can’t say region matters to me - a good deal usually dwarves any additional postage costs (within Europe anyway).John Bennett2020-05-10 09:29:48

Got some good deals from a few europeans but they are fans letting collections go. Giving resellers a platform to flog their games creates a market price that i think isnt accurate. Maybd it should be like that neogeo forum where only frequent posters can sell.
So is it you don't like their prices or they are from Europe?
Both very different things.
If you think a UK only section would be useful i can see that especially as we do sell bulky and fragile items on occasion but if its pricing you don't like then just don't buy from them, move along.
I seem to be the polar opposite to some on here as I don't care how much people price their items for, my though are it belongs to them to do with as they see fit and no one else has any right to have a pop about it.
If its priced wrong it wont sell don't see why so many get their knickers in a twist about it.

I think more importantly is to have separate sections for...
ARCADE bits and bobs (guns / pedals / i/o)
Arcade Monitor related
Arcade PCB's
Arcade cabinets
I know some sellers maybe clearing some of each, but then they could cross link easily.
The effort for some sellers would be a lot less effort and more logical for the users.
Regarding location -
could implement a rule to prefix location in title
[UK] PCBS for sale
[FR] MVS for sale

Some good bargains to be had from Europe too. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that. Maybe it's the language barrier and when they post things, it doesn't sound friendly? I've only had one problem with a European seller who keeps selling faulty Naomi hardware claiming that they worked. He usually only sharks people on the wanted thread.

It would be useful for separate sale sections.
I like neo-geo.com but don't use the sale section as it has sellers from everywhere but mainly from USA. I don't like importing games if I can help it as I don't like paying high shipping costs and also custom charges.
Separate sale sections would make it easier to avoid foreign sales if you don't like paying the extra costs on top of the selling price.
There are lots of foreign collectors but most probably stay to their own country forums so that they can discuss/talk about their collections and participate in resto's, general chat etc
Generally on here there are less than a handful of expensive foreign sellers that have several accounts, bump like crazy, over price all their "collections" and are here to avoid ebay fees. I just avoid looking at their "collections" now and move on.
I have previously tarnished all foreign sellers with the same brush unfairly due to being annoyed, but most of my collection is from foreign sellers that were not greedy and were great to deal with

As I have said a million times- the location section in the user profile should be filled in. We can then all check.
There is no reason for people not filling it out. That’s my biggest issue on this forum.
WHY CANT the forms be filled out? If not then they can’t post in the for sale section.
EASY!!!!

I have no time for resellers (Euro, UK, wherever), especially when they can’t even cough up a tenner towards the forum, but isn’t this a bit like wanting two bank accounts to put a quid into each.
It’s hardly Stock Exchange levels of sales activity out there.

I've also had some superb purchases from European sellers here, especially the excellent Glstar whose boards and spares are immaculately packaged.
I think it's pretty obvious if an item is in Europe from the pricing, but I do agree with Bonehead - the location tab is pretty helpful.

I agree most European sellers are fantastic including Glstar and Caius. Just a few sellers that give them a bad name. But there are some UK sellers that are a PITA to deal with too so it's not a race problem imo.

It’s not the location of the seller that’s the issue. It’s the constant bumping of a bunch of stuff which is not selling due to being overpriced. I don’t understand why those sellers just don’t remove the lot and list it somewhere else. It’s extremely frustrating to scroll through a large list of stuff which no one is going to buy from. If it’s not selling reduce it till it sells or don’t bother.
You wouldn’t mind if the pricing was on point and stuff was actually moving. Some of the board prices coming up seem to be top dollar or nothing. Nothing it is then.
