--- Quote from: "peg110" ---And my thoughts are just a "Friendly" Post that states something like. "I have an XYZ Computer with A, B, and C in/on it. I would like $500.00 for it. If interested let me know."

Alright ... but how far would you like that to go?
"I have a doll house with 4 dolls in it, make your bids here"?
"Used Suburban for sale, low milage, call 555-1234 for info"?
"Get all your pills at the lowest prices, PM me for details"?

I'm not against the idea, but I can see this running out of proportions quite quickly. There will have to be well-thought-of rules for such a section.

Ragster00:
I think we just need to watch for the 3rd option and delete it. That sounds more like a business ad than a classified ad.

I think if you can keep them to keep it as a classified ad, you should be alright.

"I have a computer for sale.

Specs:
1 gig
200 HDD
17" blah blah blah

$900 bucks.

Contact me via PM or call me at 555-555-5555 for more information or if you are interested."

If you keep them in the classified format I think it could be alright.

If nothing else you can always just set it up and run it for a few weeks/months. If doesn't work delete it.  I don't know just my thoughts.

Zyppora:
It could work, if we applied a strong moderation on it.

jyogit:
i think a section for those who need help wether paid or not could post what it is they need to sort out.
i would glady offer to pay said persons to help out with small problems and a section to offer this would be a great help.
so rather than let the people offering the paid work to advertise why not allow the customer to post what they need doing and leave the rest to prospective paid helpers to contact the person needing help.

Zyppora:
I don't know if you're thinking in terms of fullblown projects, quick hotfixes or general PHP help like the type we're giving out for free, but might I bring to your attention that there is a PHPHelp donation button at the bottom of each page? I'm not opposed to the idea of 'services for a fee' at all, but as with the eBay-idea of advertising and swapping (computer) products, there'd have to be some sort of moderation applied to keep things from overgrowing.
