I was thinking, what if we set up a science madness marketplace, like a separate section in fundamentals, where people could sell the chemicals that
they buy or have made to other members, kind of like an ebay, but just for chemistry stuff(glassware, hotplates, mantles, chemicals, etc.), with less
frauds and hopefully cheaper prices? I'm envisioning a thread where someone starts by posting what they have to sell/price, and then people can post
whatever questions they have in the replies, finally a U2U message to actually pay for the stuff. Then a mod would close the thread with a notice of
who bought it for what price. Kind of like this: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=156402... The reason I'm thinking of a new section in fundamentals is because its a pain to
search through and see who is selling what and for what price in Reagents and Apparatus Acquisition, and it is sometimes hard to tell if a sale is
still open. Keeping it more organized will promote more people to buy and sell on SM. Open threads mean a sale is ongoing, and closed threads mean it
ended. What do you think of this idea?
