A 'Recently Purchased' forum

[Gill]

I always check eBid first before making a purchase and as either nothing is listed or there is very little choice I've gone elsewhere and spent money - especially in the last 6 weeks.

For the record my next 2 purchases will be a lawn mower, estimated spend £300-£500 but I need to do some research first and a Nikon camera that OH wants with a spend of £350-£400.

So, would it be a good idea to have a forum entitled 'Recently Purchased' with posts by members that have gone online elsewhere and made a purchase, because they cant find what they want on eBid?

Alternatively could Recently Purchased be added to the Wanted forum which was last added to in July 2015 - over 3 months ago?

Telling sellers after you've bought the item isn't really going to help - asking in the wanted forum might - now and then it produces a sale or two.

By adding 'recently purchased' to the wanted forum will also tell sellers what people are buying/searching for on eBid. Just because I had to purchase elsewhere doesn't mean there wouldn't be future sales.

True... but I had to say something... your thread was being neglected!
