Just wondered if it would worth having a new section for second hand gear. There seem to a few members now who are going down this route. It could be for pointing out good deals on eBay or Gumtree and asking others what they should be paying for used gear?

I think it was mentioned elsewhere about promoting some senior forum members to moderator status. Might be possible to trial that and used gear section in one go?

Ten posts or ten thousand, all forum members are of equal status.
