Model Forum / General / Models / August 2006Is there a marketplace newsgroup associated with this one?
Some newsgroups I read have an associated "marketplace" newsgroup for announcements of related items for sale. I don't see anything like that, that would be proper for posting of announcements related to scale models, at least not in my news server's list of groups. This is kind of frustrating to me as I often have announcements regarding our kits, sale items, etc. that I expect would be of interest to rec.models.scale regulars, but I don't want to get flagged as a spammer by posting announcements where they are not wanted. Yeah, I can include little announcements in my .sig file (as below), but I usually just lurk in this group without posting, because I am not much of a model-builder myself; my Dad is the model builder for our business, I just got into it to help him with eBay sales and set up our website. Any suggestions on a proper newsgroup for this type of announcement related to scale model kits?

I have visited Hyperscale forums a few times in the past when a customer notified me of questions or discussion about one of our kits, but I am not a regular over there by any means. I will make sure to post some notices about our August Sale and the new kits coming out!

Others post eBay auction notices so I can't see the problem. Others might have a different opinion.

I do lurk here enough to have some idea who are regulars and who are just political trolls. In some other newsgroups I read, we regard "FA" and "FS" posts as something of an off topic annoyance, so I have been hesitant to make posts like that here.

Two suggestions, though: First, avoid posting ads more than once or twice a week, lest someone accuse you of spamming. Second, when you post any kind of ad, include an appropriate tag at the beginning of the header line. The most common tags are: [AD] [FS] [EBAY] [AUCTION] "FS" stands for "For Sale". The others should be obvious. >I think you said you are going to Nationals in KC this week? I hope >you can drop by our table and say Hi! Yep, I'm leaving in the morning. I'll look for you.

Yes, there is a news group called rec.models.scale.marketplace , but I don't think anyone uses it anymore. Just looking at it there is about six posts, mostly dickhead spammers.Only one on topic post and two replies.

I don't even see that one in my group list. Guess I'll have to request that Newsguy add it to their servers. >Just looking at it there is about six posts, mostly dickhead >spammers.Only one on topic post and two replies. I found one way up north in alt territory, called alt.models.scale.marketplace, but it appears totally dead, except for the kind of trash that you mention. Not even a single on-topic post that I could see. I went ahead and posted an announcement there anyway. Thanks for the info.
