Appraisals subforum in Trading Post?

[spleify]

Makes sense. Then again, we have a subforum for the Western Slope guys that's had less than a dozen threads in it ever, and a shotgun-specific subforum that hasn't been posted in in almost a month, and it doesn't seem like the knife subforum is super-active either.
I don't think it'd just be used by people trying to sell, either. I have a buddy who inherited a beautiful engraved matching rifle and shotgun set from his grandpa and has no idea what it's worth... I'm sure there are others in similar situations. My home insurance coveres firearms and I had to give them a seat-of-the-pants ballpark value for coverage in that category.
If yall are completely against it, I won't push it, but I think it'd be a pretty useful thing for everybody.

Good points, but Bert also has some good points.

With all of that being said if another admin wants to add another forum we can discuss it

I'd rather add an auction type area. For those popular or hard to find items. You know, the ones that are really worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Maybe you could call it "make me an offer."

Ha. Didn't figure everyone would agree with me.

the "What's it worth" sub-forum might be an interesting idea, just don't put it in the gun section. If someone might be knowledgeable on paintings, or cars, antiques - the forum might help figure things out. I've got a few hand-me-down shotguns/rifles that I want to know their worth, but don't know where to start. I have some old metal chunks I found with a metal detector and don't know wtf they are. The forum might help some.

You can already ask that kind of stuff in the general section. Not sure it really needs its own sub forum.

Seems you and I are just going to disagree on some stuff I guess.

Nice weather up here in your neck of the woods today.

Beats the other places I've been recently.

I would just post in the General if I ever got off my ass and took pictures.

What are you doing up here? PM me and we can grab a beer.

I wish. I was just working up there for the day.

Maybe next time I ride up that way for lunch at Shadows or Sanford's I can hit you up.

Wow. Some of the replies here are out of control.


I like the idea of the new section.

Not that you would know anything about being out of control.
