What happened to the For Sale by Collectors segment? I see the marketplace but that is a confusing mess and I would have to enter so many pieces instead of just sending out lists.. Is there a way to post items for sale and to send out lists/photos to interested buyers?

The Forum's For Sale by Collectors board has been deprecated and replaced by the Marketplace, which is much better organized and patterned after the CheckList(s).

If you're having difficulty posting pieces on the Marketplace, please feel free to contact me: wff_collector@yahoo.com
I'll be happy to walk you through the process.

Geoff, I respectfully disagree with you that the market place is better organized. It was much easier just to reach out to prospective interested buyers and send them lists if requested, especially if you have hundreds of retired mice, some of them very rare. It is especially difficult to try to sell possible groups or the complete collection...which I know is unlikely, but always a possibility. I know Ebay is an option, but the collectors club is specifically focused to those knowledgeable about the WFF. Thank you for your willingness to assist!, Laura

You (and anyone else on the forum) are always welcome to tap me for questions, especially if it's a how-to question about a Club service. Questions help me refine the various services available to the collector community.

I agree that the Marketplace is geared towards selling individual pieces that are listed in the Master List. It's not made to sell anything not on the Master List, e.g., collections. I have toyed with the idea of creating a marketplace for items that fall outside the Master List, but it seems other people are setting up Facebook groups to sell such items, so I have put the creation of such a marketplace on the back burner. Frankly, I'm relieved: It would entail a lot of work.

Facebook is actually poorly suited for selling stuff, but if people feel it's adequate, then I'm glad people have somewhere to go. The Club Forum used to have a Marketplace bulletin board, which could accommodate collections and such, and it was better organized than Facebook, but so few people used it that I discontinued it when the Marketplace went public. I'd be willing to resurrect it if there were sufficient interest.
