rdunajewski Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I'm pleased to announce a new feature available on the forums: a new classifieds system! Premium Members can post a listing for radios, repeaters, antennas, and more that they are selling or want to buy. All members can view and purchase items from the seller, a Premium Membership is only required to post advertisements. Purchases are handled between the buyer and seller directly at this time, but we might expand this in the future to handle payments similar to how eBay and PayPal work. There are no commissions since we are not handling the payments on behalf of the parties. If you are a Premium Member, you will see a blue "Submit an advert" button on the Classifieds page. Click on this button and select the category to list your ad under. Listings are active for 21 days for free (less the cost of membership) and can be renewed if the item is still available. You also have the ability to set up shipping options for the buyer, and can paste the tracking number for the shipment once you've completed a sale.

gortex2 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Thanks Rich. I need to get rid of a ton of stuff and rather sell here. rdunajewski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdunajewski Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 I'm looking to do the same. I've amassed quite a collection of radios that are just collecting dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donniefitz2 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Very nice. I'm definitely going to use this feature. If you do decide to handle transactions in the future, be warned, it's a lot of liability. I had a startup a few years back that was a two-sided marketplace for buying and selling camera gear. I handled the transactions via Stripe and ended up dishing out $5k to cover the damage done by fraudsters. Keeping the responsibility of transacting between the buyer and seller is much easier. rdunajewski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch, should be fixed now. You might need to refresh the page a few times if it doesn't immediately show properly. wayoverthere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drove Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Is this just limited to GMRS gear or can I post any radio equipment like HF or amplifiers? Also have a bunch of Kenwood 820's and Motorola stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sshannon Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 It doesn’t appear to be limited to GMRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioguy7268 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I just picked up some UHF M1225's and P1225's (Genuine Part 95 Motorola gear!) on a trade-in, so I'll probably be getting one of my kids to start up a small GMRS resale business here on the classifieds. About 40 portables, chargers, 6 mobiles, and a base/control station package. Sshannon, gortex2 and WRUS537 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrpc1 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Two day old radio for sale. Have receipt. No sense in having a radio that has scanned all 999 channels programed into the bestsaferadio and not able to hear any activity. Anyone interested. Will sell for exactly what I paid for it.

WRXD372 Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 Strange ?!? If I read that correctly, the MyGMRS.com premium membership should carry into the forum. If that is the case, then why is my "premium" status not showing up ?!? Who would be my go-to person for a question like this ?!? ... strange ... am I getting this wrong / did I do something wrong when signing up ?!?

WRQU797 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Good Evening I have a GMRS HT that I would like to sell. I see that a premium membership is required to sell radios, but not for browsing. However, it doesn't appear that anyone is using the classified section, as I only see two (2) items listed there. Am I missing something or is there another classified section that is not viewable for non-premium members? Also, I see no way to sign up for a membership in the profile settings, subscriptions, or elsewhere. Where and how does one do that? If there is a more robust classified section that I'm not seeing, it's possible I may wish to join. Thank you in advance. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sshannon Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 The classified section is only a few months old. It’s the only one. I’ll try to get you a link to join. WRXD372 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXD372 Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Happy Tuesday You are not missing anything: There is only one section for classified ads. Premium is necessary to post a classified ad. Premium membership is available under mygmrs.com and the profiles are linked and synched regularly. (If that does not work, Rich will help you with a manual synch - https://mygmrs.com/contact WRQU797 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
