I've set up buy/sell sections on a couple of my forums, but neither get much use. Not sure if I should keep them or not. One's just a forum, the other uses vbClassified. Do you have a marketplace? What does it run on? Do many people use it?

I haven't set one up. Although, I'm thinking of starting a section (maybe using the vBay mod/hack) to do some auctioning or something.

I've gotta look that up again. It's been awhile since I researched that.

Did you basically set up some specific forums as your buy/sell sections?

On one I just set aside a forum for it, if it ever gets busy I could make subforums for each type of thing sold or maybe then I'd invest in a script to handle it. On another I use vbClassified which I have integrated onto forumhome. My only complaint about that is you have to use a category icon, you can't have a status icon that indicates when there's a new ad, and I think people tend to skip over it and not notice when there's a new listing.
