General Box - in Vender Market Place
 

This way if we have a question about a particular part or service the vendors can jump in and give us suggestions or give us a sales pitch

Isnt that way you start a thread in there part of the forum?Or you can PM them also...

true, but this way your question doesn't pertain to one single merchant...

i think thats a good idea for once on azht...

Actually I thought about this awhile back too, and it's a great idea. I can't stand when someone makes threads in every vendor forum asking for ONE part.

what ever happened to just calling for quotes lol

fo sho...Why not PM the vendor?

because after txting 7 diffrent vendors, 2 of them have the parts the 2 or three of them can do the install, and some just dont have the time... so this way.. One post, 4 responses with prices - and availablity.

Make a section in Vendor market called "Vendor Requests" the vendors will then just PM the folks, no "Posting" the prices and availablity - so they dont have to do open bid wars, etc
::shrugs:: this way it will help keep fair for everybody...

From the business end of it, it will help them generate LEADS - and from the consumer perspective it makes the buying process alot easyer.. Then we dont have alot of these "where do i get a ac kit" "is there a shop that can install my new t28 into my blah*

1. It will help keep the other threads cleaner.
2. Make the site easyer for the vendors to find leads to make more sales.
3. Make the purchasing/buying research aspect of the process alot easyer.

4. I wont have to go and post a thread in every vendor section & eg civics are about who can I get a full A/C system from, installed and charged.

Heres my impression of a typical thread. Hi i'm looking for some skunk2 coilovers for my gsr

and the following 20 replies from vendors pm for pricing

i think the vendor forums should be like HT where there is a wheel/tire forum and all the vendors post their prices and deals in there, and so on with other forums. just like the member classifieds actually.

Exactly. That is what I wanted to do originally but most vendors weren't feelin it. I think its more efficient and easier for users to find what they need by having it set up like the member classifieds.

Maybe I will make that change this weekend when I change a bunch of stuff.

Inside the vendor section have a sub catagory called "Ads" give the post an experation date, and have it auto remove... no posting or anything lol

Also have a section called "Requests" - all vendors know this person thats posting in here is looking to buy something NEWwith a warrenty or professional service, instead of 3 generation used bargin parts out of somebody's trunk or a weekend wrench warrior willing to change out a clutch.
