Do they still lack a 'IBM PC Compatibles' sales section? I remember that subject being part of the 'Others' category, with consoles and such.

Wasn't it actually becoming the largest section over there mostly due to IBM PC stuff being traded there?
I just checked AmiBay, it has eight hardware for sale subforums. On the main page it says**:
Amiga got the most with 3000 Threads / 47123 Posts.
Amstrad is the smallest with just 49 Threads / 346 Posts.
Other has 3836 Threads / 28941 Posts - My rough guess is that about half of that is IBM PC.
So in that regard it is not really fair and practical. Unless they do it on purpose. Like if they do put an IBM PC section there, people will notice it and think it is a good place to dump loads of Pentium IV and Core Duo stuff. Which some may consider as just non-vintage noise.
** When you click the actual subforum it has more threads/posts? There are also archived posts subforums.

OP : Sorry, not to be blunt here. The Admin had already put up a stickied 'Vogons is No Marketplace thread.' The uniqueness of Vogons should be maintained like how it is now, IMHO. There are other trading websites which users can go to.
Vogons is more like a classic vintage library to me, where interesting discussions are going on including many suggestions and retro tech solutions.

I know. This thread is about the perceived need for a new forum, not connected to VOGONS in any way, which is kind of like Amibay geared towards the PC market.
World's foremost 486 enjoyer.
i'll have to disable PMs if this happens. I don't need "you sell to me" when I make a post about my hardware
How about VOGOOS (Very Old Games On Old Systems) for a name?

How would that change from now with VCF and AMIBay? What are your concerns?
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder

My guess would be that if looking at the more recent posts (of say, only the last year or 2), things have turned more towards PC stuff anyway. It makes sense as there will be more PC stuff coming in and al the other "markets" have limited supply as well as limited interested people (due to nostalgia aging as well).

This sometimes gives me PMS as well 😵
Lets not go this way. Last time I even mentioned something along the lines of me considering giving some of the more common stuff away, someone send me a PM and it ended up with this person asking for things like Upgradeware, Slot 1 1GHz 100FSB, rare cards (but of course only the Ultra variants with maximum memory configurations)...no thank you!

Well technically systems that are build today using old parts are new systems, right?
