I bet that you guys can potentially gain members and traffic if you guys make your own marketplace for your members. Doing it will surely increase your activity in this forum.

It has cons to it. One example is that it may drive out other members.

I don't really see the point. Considering the prices of stuff, pawn shops, local thrift stores, and ebay nobody really buys stuff from forums these days.

Maybe trading would be something fun? For members who live in the same country. Else it would be too expensive. Like I send my game to member X and he sends his to me. Then when we both have played them we send them back to each other.

Trading would be kind of useless, as it defeats the purpose of a marketplace :\

Not really. If you write a for sale ad, you can write that you can also trade your games. So if someone wants to buy your game, then they can do that. But if they also are interested in trading, then it's a good option to have. Because a lot of people do that. It's more common to trade with someone than to buy from them.

People prefer to trade stuff they don't want for stuff they want usually. _________________Got a question? You can either give me a PM or posting in the thread I have by clicking on the banner below.

I think that a forums provide a great place to buys used stuff, as it's user to user no middle man in the way. As already mentioned though, they are a fair few cons to this as well. Some sort of Reputation option would need to be in place, it would have to be carefully Modded to prevent any miss use. I don't think it is worth it for a forum of this size just yet.

Hmm.
This is a pity.
You really should include an off-topic marketplace section where people can buy other things than games and such things...
But, what the hell.
Nobody agreed with this.

Something off topic, such as forum posts, forum services, etc etc, everything that a forum basically needs.

You know that not all people focus at the Xbox? Some people would have other likings and opinions, so I'm sure somebody will use that marketplace section if there were any.

I actually voted yes, but you do have a point to a certain extent. It all depends on the stuff that would been sold in the forum's store. Maybe some customized T-Shirts with the forum logo or something - that would be interesting to see/buy.

I agree yes and no. Off-topic things like customized t-shirts etc would be pretty cool, it's something i've been considering for my forum, in fact i'm already wearing my own customised t-shirt as I type this.
However, what goodboy133 suggested about selling off-topic stuff like forum posts, and services etc is a no no. This is an Xbox gaming forum.
