I know we already have lots of boards, but, this one could be a big help. No one ever gets any responses from the exchange, or very few at best. I would put this under general boards right below the plastics board. All of us who do plastic have sprues with tons of bits that we don't end up using. I have heads, arms, shields, that will gather dust or end up in the trash. I know that someone could use these. I have had five attempts at trades that came out of Medieval Discussion in the last six months. Two successful and three were not. I know all you plastics guys have stuff to trade or just give away just for the postage. SO, all you plastic guys, what do you think?

maybe as a subset of the marketplace.

D6 Junkie30 Apr 2015 1:06 p.m. PST

Oh yeah, that would be helpful

Mute Bystander30 Apr 2015 2:58 p.m. PST

Sure.

The problem that I see with the marketplace is that it has become dominated by retail outlets, and is no longer a place for members to sell. I'm thinking I should have cross posted this to a number of the discussion boards. (ACW, Ancients, Medieval, Dark Age, Fantasy) Hey Bill, maybe a little help here.

I guess so, but there's already Bartertown, so… yeah. There's that.

Cyrus the Great30 Apr 2015 5:00 p.m. PST

I would like to see it.

darthfozzywig30 Apr 2015 5:28 p.m. PST

Sounds good to me.

daler240D01 May 2015 9:37 a.m. PST

I would use it.

morrigan01 May 2015 9:41 a.m. PST

Seems like a good idea.

Codsticker01 May 2015 9:45 a.m. PST

I would probably use it myself. Lead Adventure forum has a "travelling bits box" but I do not think that Bartertown has a dedicated bits trading forum (it would be a good idea).

Chris Rance01 May 2015 10:56 a.m. PST

I think this is a great idea.

Zargon01 May 2015 1:14 p.m. PST

Count me in

Yes

Brilliant…thumbs up

Crazyfrenchteacher01 May 2015 5:31 p.m. PST

I like the idea!

Sevastopol01 May 2015 7:00 p.m. PST

Sounds good!

Musketier02 May 2015 3:41 a.m. PST

Great idea! The low value (and weight) of plastic bits means the Marketplace isn't really the right spot for them, let alone eBay and such.
Keep it to swaps or postage cost only and it could go on the general boards, as a subset of plastics maybe?

ordinarybass02 May 2015 7:21 a.m. PST

Very useful idea for a forum.

Field Marshal02 May 2015 10:17 p.m. PST

I'm in!

capncarp03 May 2015 7:19 p.m. PST

Lil' Plastic Greeblies are your friends! Bring on the discussion!

number407 May 2015 4:11 p.m. PST

Let's make it happen!

desmondo08 May 2015 11:55 a.m. PST

Very good idea. I have loads of Victrix parts I would want to swap

Oriol Barcelona10 May 2015 7:05 a.m. PST

Yes please, we need it

Chouan14 May 2015 1:20 p.m. PST

Good idea.

cameronian15 May 2015 2:58 a.m. PST

Good idea, I would offer left over sets with figures I'll never use or sets bought but now unwanted as well as bits.
