Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum

I am stealing the last few comments and putting them here since a discussion is a much easier formatfor this sort of thing. Linda has started the idea of a place to sell handcrafted items and here is what she wrote:

Great  news! I got a reply from Adina about her thoughts on us starting a DK "Buy, Sell, Trade" group. Here's our conversation about it:

ME: Hi Adina, I'm curious to know your thoughts on starting a Buy, Sell, Trade group on DK. Kind of like our own little Etsy where people can sell things they make (doodle-y accessories, jewelry, scarves, etc), trade services, post a list of things they are looking for, etc. We have so many talented people, scatterered around various groups, I thought it might be nice to have a central place where they can share/offer their talents.

We would obviously have to put a disclaimer on there that holds you and DK harmless and exempt from any liability. Buy at your own risk, kind of thing.

Let me know what you think...

 

ADINA: Hi Linda, I love the Etsy idea and I'm cool with other handcrafted/homemade stuff being sold from member to member.  What I'd like to avoid is any members selling 'other' people's general merchandise/mass market dog products or MLM dog food.  What do you suggest for posting rules for such a group to keep selling appropriate items.

ME: Nice! You bring up a great point. I totally agree with the need for it to be personally hand crafted items - no reselling of professionally manufactured items or (heaven forbid) any MLM products. I'll share your comments and concerns with our Photography group (where the discussion came up to have a Buy, Sell, Trade group) and see if we can come up with a description that clearly spells out what is allowed/not allowed.

 

I'm excited! Let's work on a description!

I would enjoy a buy/sell/trade section in our photo forum because, I would trust the members of Doodle Kisses more than I would trust total strangers.  I have several high value Canon items and a lot of other stuff laying around.  I would like to convert this stuff into cash and reinvest it in some more photo gear.  When I sell a piece of gear, it is a guilt free way to buy other photo equipment.

I want your old camera Richard!  Pick ME!

We already have had posting about used equipment here and that's fine. Anyone can post about something they'd like to sell or that they are looking for. Just start a discussion. If you have a better thought on how to do this let me know. But Linda is specifically talking about handcrafted things or things like art or photographs made by individuals who are members, such as things in the DIY Group or the Art Cafe.

I agree, I have a Nikon D70 I would love to sell

Start a discussion.

I love this idea.  I do giclee canvases and memory cards from photos sent to me by e-mail.  Would love to sell some of them and get some more exposure on DK.  I started out (as a retirement project) with dog photos and now do all kinds of photos.  I also play around with Adobe Photoshop and can do adjustments (any layers) to the photos.  You can check out my website at:  LyndaKamrath.com

I would suggest for starters that you display some examples in the Art Cafe. You can put this link there too. Then when the new group is started you can list there too.

I like the idea of a DK group dedicated to buy/sell/trade kind of like etsy.

Than help come up with guidelines as Linda suggested. We don't want to have Life's abundance or supplement sales going on.

I'm excited about having a separate "Buy, Sell, Trade" group because it will allow creative people to sell handcrafted items (bedazzled leashes, knit scarves, painted flowerpots, jewelry, photographs, etc) to everyone, not just members of the little groups they belong to. And it will makesit easy to search for things you're looking for, such as gently-used Halloween Costumes, camera gear, etc. :)

So, the "Buy, Sell, and Trade" group will be a place to sell (and find) handcrafted and gently-used items. :)

That sounds fantastic to me!!
