Thanks for stopping by.
Off and on for several years I have thought about setting up a system that would
make it easy to barter things. But it never seemed like it would be worth
it.
However now that the economy is getting pretty bad and with expectations of it
getting much worse for the foreseeable future, it would appear that the time is
ripe to get started.
My hope is that this place becomes more than just a place to trade, buy or sell
stuff; It is intended to be a community where the members can make long
term business relationships or even friendships if they so desire.
This board is primarily intended for use by people in or around Ruidoso and
the wider Lincoln County, NM area.
Folks living in the rest of Southeast and South Central parts of the state; El
Paso, Amarillo, Lubbock, Texas, etc. are
also very welcome.
People from farther away .... well, you are welcome to register, but if you are
offering stuff to trade or sell, you probably better be prepared to deliver it
at no charge, or at least at a very low charge. And if you buy or trade
for something from a local member, you better plan on coming to get it.
This is not an absolute requirement, just a pretty strong recommendation.
If you are a spammer or
a scammer, Especially coming from outside of the USA, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
REGISTERING. I check everyone's I.P. address and email domain name.
You must register to post. I highly recommend using a "real"
email address for registration. If you use something like a gmail or yahoo
mail or hotmail or any other sort of anonymous web based 'throw away' email
address I'll want to know why. All registrations must be manually approved by the administrator
before posting privileges will be allowed.
Despite my intentions of offering this place for the good of the people of this region, eventually I'll probably have to have to make this site break even financially. So
that means there might have to be some kind of charges, either a per ad charge, a charge for
special memberships, bugging users for donations or some combination thereof.<
So... somewhere down the road, the for sale only ads will probably require a small
payment. And the Offered for trade/cash MAY also cost a few cents a day.
But, We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
In the mean time, please take advantage of the free listings in every category!!!
