Looking for alternatives to selling on eBay

Maybe less noise in the private groups, than public?

Not in my experience. It's the same old things as I described. You just have to answer a very simple question or two ("What is your favorite team?", "What is the third letter in 'baseball'?") and agree to their terms before a moderator accepts you into the fold.

Thank you , I will give this a try , hopefully I can negotiate for shipping items.

A few of us started a vintage non sports card group that has grown to over 2000 people in just a few months.

Mainly focused on vintage non sport cards but postcards/tradecards are included in that.

If you shoot me your name, I’ll make sure you are approved to get in.

Thanks
Matt

Also Tom @ vintangenonsports.com runs a great non sports auction. One coming up in February. Linked at top of each page here on n54.

I don't understand. What's the attraction of Facebook? Why not just post on vintagenonsports.com?

Active users. Ease of private messaging. Ease of posting pics…

Agree. I struggle with posting pics on here. Half get rejected and won't load and I don't know why. The ones that do load are often super giant-sized.
It's probably and likely, my fault, yet eBay i just add straight from my phone, and it looks great.

I have the same problem on here. Digital pics load some of the time but it is hit or miss for me. I assume it has something to do with the size but my pics are taken exactly the same yet some load and some do not. Obviously, I am a dinosaur technology wise but like you never have any problem posting the same photos that will not load here to Ebay. I have to assume there are size restrictions on here and that slight changes can kick some out while others load fine but that is an unintelligent guess on my part!!! I am just happy to find out that at least one more user has this problem. I assumed it was only me so thanks for insuring I am not alone.

It's not your fault. The forum software is just old and outdated. Updating the site would be a fair amount of work though, and you'd probably have half the users complain even though it could be greatly improved. ImageMagik would solve all the photo uploading & sizing issues here.

I don’t know why but if I shrink the borders just a tiny bit - then they’ll load .
Pretty sure it’s me not knowing What I’m doing than it is the website

It is a PIA but I send all photos I post on here from my phone to myself via email. Then on my laptop I resize them and they work great on here. I am sure there is a way to reduce the image size on a phone with an app but I rarely post on here from my phone. On images that won't post on here it is always because they are too big.

I haven't bought or sold much for a while but the $1 auction section is a great place that needs to be used WAY more. I have found the BST section to be an amazing place over my 10+ years on here for buying, selling, and a ton of trading.
