2nd hand parts website

**Bren_chch** · 25th April 2005, 22:22

Hi

i'm thinking of putting together a site for second hand parts, and maybe bikes, a site that anyone can join and list the poarts they have or need, do you think this is a good idea, i thought it would be as i cant always afford new stuff and can never bloody find any second hand stuff anywhere else I look!!

Feed back / Ideas please

i think it's a great idea!
a good search and easy upload of images would be useful.
i'd certainly use it.

Bloody good idea, something like Trademe but specialising in bike parts.

not sure of the market for it though. it would have to be free otherwise people would just use trademe.

That would be kind of like the online trading section of this forum?

Good idea though. !!

yeah its gana be free

so i'd arrange it in groups of manufacturer i guess?

Any other suggestions to make it really freindly to use?

i think its a good idea, but there might be trouble getting it off the ground as i asume you dont just have 100's of part laying around. Maybe you can get some of the wreckers to put some adds in??? And maybe you can just run it as a part of KB.... erm "KB-Traders"

did you know if you

people are more likely to agree?

Bear with me here brainstorms are never neat.
i recon it would be best if you have manufacturer than bikes/parts for starters.
Once it gets bigger than trade me than you can start making categories ie sportbikes, maybe separate by cc rating etc
Maybe have a riding-gear section too
erm boots, hemets etc

ohh but dont go crazy and make a whole lot of categories at the start or it might look like bid4it, and thats not a very good look.
million categories and 2 items

So long as its kept up to date. But yeah, we have an on line trading section here, why not use that, or maybe a sub section of that?

**250learna** · 26th April 2005, 17:55

well ya it could be just more structured so you know exactly what is on there with just few clicks of the old mouse, without reading all the posts just to find out that whay you want is actualy sold.

ok see what u think of this, some of the stuff is not working yet but most is, you can sign up test accounts and play about, they will all be deleted before it goes live.

Image upload is not working yet!
