Hi folks,

I received a couple of PMs asking about whether or not we can have a classifieds/vendors area in here. What are your thoughts before I chime in?

 

[KPoos]

I think it's a great idea. Some are groomers and we can share things that we don't need or want anymore with people that do.

Love the idea!

I like the idea, too... I belong to a horse forum and lots of members are able to buy/sell/trade/give, etc... stuff. The only thing I'd be careful about is advertising live pets... you might get byb's able to advertise for free and knowing that great poodle owners are on this forum!!! Thanks for asking!

 

[KPoos]

Maybe just have a no live pet policy and have tools or items only?

 

[poodleadm]

Ok... you guys are going to have to help me list what falls under classifieds and what falls under vendors.

For me, I might have an extra dog collar lying around from a Christmas present a year ago... I would list this in the classifieds.


Now, let's say I make bows or special clothes for dogs and wanted to sell them to the community, that would make me a vendor. Vendors will have to pay a fee (TBD) to be an exclusive member here.

How am I doing so far?

How am I doing so far?

Yup! Sounds right to me! It will be nice to have a place to give/sell/trade/barter/buy/acquire/lend/borrow etc... Great idea!!

 

[KPoos]

I think that sounds reasonable.

 

[meehkim]

I love the idea!!

I wouldn't mind having a place to advertize my collars.....

I'd love to see a place for vendors and I'm sure companies like Isle of Dogs or Woof Wear would like to be able to advertise here.

Just don't kill the Golden Goose by charging too much. In some ways giving our members access/exposure to great products is benefit to our community.

I like the idea. My $.02 would be for the vendors to be hand made items, not distributors. I really love unique, hand made collars, but if I want one like everyone else I can buy it anywhere.

You are speaking my language there!

I really want to find someone that makes the bracelet covers for boys. I know they have them at Cherrybrook but I want handmade ones.

 

[Mandycasey'smom]

What a cool idea. I keep meaning to order from Doginstyle and something else comes up.
UG eventually my guys will have some unique collars

 

[poodleadm]

Great news... we will be adding classifieds and vendor areas to the forums as soon as I can set up some rules.

Like it !!!!!!!

Fabulous idea

 

[thestars]

Our Tulsa Poodle club is doing a fundraiser and wants to sell poodle magnets for cars or refrigerators in either the continental clip, sporting clip or puppy clip, in the colors of poodles and for the Standard, Mini or Toy. We would love to have the opportunity to gain an audiance with an appreciation of the Poodle breed.
