I wanted to open a discussion.. I am sure a few of you will have noticed this thread over on Giants Forum that I finally gave a slightly more detailed explanation of my absence on the forum and mentioned my plans for revamping things.. but I wanted to talk to you all about some stuff first so we can try to get this "right"..
So one of the things I want to do is simplify things a lot.. the dealership.. how we handle new equipment vs how we handle used equipment.. so to start with.. NEW.. I am gonna go on a limb and say that more than a few of you would be pleased if I went back to the older style of posting individual items for sale.. but we cant cut out things like holiday sales, manufacture sales, so on and so forth either.. but hmm... how to get on a standard.. incentive.. hmmm... (I am legit working this out in my head as I am typing this so please bare with me a bit as we figure it out lol) I kind of like a membership thing..
Ok so lets call this idea 1 - The Community dealership offers standard 5% off just for using it.. additionally you could gain another 5% off by being a paid member in our loyalty program (in game currency of course lol).. then to make it better you might be able to get say another 5% off by offering a trade-in giving you potentially 15% off plus the value of the trade-in.. I could post random items at list value and your participation will determine how much you save.. this would NOT affect holiday and manufacture sales
Idea 2 - (this one seems pretty simple) all used equipment sold by or purchased by the dealership will be listed in the Private Listings section as this section of the forum focuses on used equipment.. This will include, by default, ANY equipment older than 5 years old, regardless of use. Furthermore I think any equipment listed in this area should be valued in the ballpark of real life.. I will provide various links to gather information on used equipment prices in the appropriate areas as well as provide staff help with "quotes" to help you figure out what your equipment is worth and what you should list it for. Every piece of equipment listed by the dealership will be sold based on the same value system plus a set fee (maybe $1000?) for "handling and storing" the equipment pending sale.. this extra fee is simply to encourage buying used equipment between each other as irl it would be typically cheaper to buy from an individual than a dealer
Question 1 - Did we like it when I posted each individual item like "We have a JD space shuttle with xyz specs for $1,245,654,325" or when I did select groups like "We got 3 JD space shuttles with xyz specs for $1,245,654,325 each" or bulk like "the JD xyz space shuttle is for sale for 1,245,654,325 each while supplies last"?
