Marketplace Sub-Section?

Post by Gonstead » Sat Jan 19, 2013 5:05 am

In the near-future, could we possibly get a small sub-section of the forums dedicated to Buy/Sell/Trade stuff?

Just checking.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Nope. Not happening. Several threads have asked over the years. Barely any interest + we have absolutely zero desire to infer that we at Kanzenshuu accept any responsibility for any of your transactions.

People seem to post any "for sale" stuff in the General Franchise section anyway.

It would be kinda cool for you Vegetto to sell official Kanzenshuu merchandise. Might help fund these forums, because there's no way it could be free to run this place. Am I right?

I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

We cannot / will not directly profit* off the franchise we cover, which is not ours. There is very little beyond our name itself that is not someone else's intellectual property -- and even our logo has a Dragon Ball in it.

There is a nice little "Donate" page if anyone's interested. We don't push it. This would be a really great time of year if anyone wants to help out, though...

*and by "profit", I obviously don't mean "we make money and spend it on beer", but rather, "we make money and put it back into the site". I feel wrong about doing that with merchandise, but not unsolicited donations.

What about a (non-transaction) general merchandise sub section? I know this seems to go under general franchise, but due to the on-flow of new merchandise we've been seeing as of lately, I don't think it's unreasonable.

There's an ebb and flow to that kind of stuff. If we made additional sub-sections for each little rise of new kinds of things, we'd have endless categories that no-one would comprehend. Keep in mind that I've been doing this since 1998 :). Got a pretty good groove to how it works.
