I'm looking for Uncle Sid...

I like the idea though I'm not sure the forum wants to get involved with this officially, even as far as sticky-ing a thread. These are private transactions among members and fans.

Helping out a fan by purchasing there artwork / goods is always a great thing to do.

Yeah, see, this is what I was thinking. And if everyone who sold artwork/goods could be all together in one thread, then they'd be easy to find.

I dont think there is an issue with this, but I think it would be clutch if everyone kept it organized and played nice. Some kind of ground rules to keep it usable.
Like one post per person and not spamming the thing up. Also maybe only people that are members as of this date. And that the product should be somehow phish/art/music related.

I'll check in with the site team and see if there would be any objections.

By all means, keep brainstorming.

I know, its kind of fun being the man keeping everyone down.

fucktards.

Edit: I thought that would censor, adding an ironic tinge to my post. f*** it.

and I don't want no blood in my bed

They have trained carrier pigeons.

Tie the balloons to the pigeons?

Personally, I would rather buy .netter's merchendise than something from some other a-hole. I like you a-holes way better.

<3 love you all

Not a bad idea but keeping up with the % of sales that are directly related to .net would be tricky to keep up with.

Paying a fee would be easier BUT would the fee keep .netters from posting their links? And would posting here guarantee sales? People would have to figure out if its worth paying a fee.

Honestly I hadn't thought about fees/percents of sales/etc. I was thinking more about the community aspect of it.

But I'm open to the idea.....

Probably something along the lines of optional donations by the vendors who make sales.
I doubt we'd get into a mandatory fee or advertising model.

So someone who's really into this - draft up a couple bullet point-style guidelines/ground rules. Basic, common sense, to keep stuff organized.

The ToU point, word for word.
Idea of one post each, so make it a good one. (Or alternately, a way to ensure people don't literally spam the thread.)
Maybe a limit on the # of pics in a post, so 1 post doesnt stretch out a whole page...
A request for optional donation to MBF as thanks for providing the marketplace.

Stuff like that. Kick it around, then PM me or post here or something. No rush, but I've got a lot going on right now and cant responsibly volunteer to take point on this.

Also, lets start with a thread, because coding a whole additional section of the site is not gonna happen instantly.

For Sale, human hair of all kinds, price per mg and length. Mostly auburn & red, some curious black on stock right now. Intetesting trades accepted.

::in all seriousness, I got a book that I just finished. Have been looking for a literary agent though not too hard. Could print up 1000 copies, anyone want a book? $15, I'll even sign it.::

Ok some rule ideas:

I like the one post per .netter.

But I think it should remain open to all .netters (even the ones that don't know they're .netters yet) but perhaps there should be a waiting period before they're allowed to post. That way they aren't signing up just to hock some crap. But with a waiting period only the new .netters that are serious will post (hopefully the trolls will get tired of waiting and move on).

ONE picture that best represents what you're selling. Why? B/c your website should be filled with pictures.

A short blurb about your goods. "Hey I sell awesome T-shirts!"

A link to your site/store/etc. "Check 'em out here: LINK"

Products should be Phish/music/art/crafts related. There might be some other acceptable products but for now this should be enough.

No sales of drugs/weapons/illegal. We don't want Mockingbird to be accused of drug dealing.

A reprint of the .net ToU to remind users of the copyright infringement issues.

"We'd like to thank the Mockingbird Foundation for giving us this space to share our products. Please make a donation to help keep this community vibrant and alive." Or something to that effect.

Hmmmm any other ideas?

@DirtyAl1173 - personally, I think there should be some greater restriction than a waiting period for people to post their stuff, like @johnnyd's idea of only allowing .netters who are currently members. I only say this because if people start using .net solely to sell their shit, and they're not contributing to the community in any other way, then you're not really buying your stuff from a .netter, you're just buying stuff from someone who advertises on .net, which I think defeats the entire purpose.

But overall I really like your idea and your guidelines, well done.

who will provide the veggie burritos?

FYI: I can make a mean lentil and cauliflower curry

1. I like the one post per .netter.---Per monthly update

2. Vendors update once a month at most. Could skip that if they want and older post falls off board.

3. Only current .netters- n00bs after a year of posting or 15 shows, whichever is first.

4. Must know how to spell

5. THREE pictures that best represents what you're selling. Why? B/c your website should be filled with pictures. (Changed to give a fuller preview)

6. A short blurb about your goods. "Hey I sell awesome T-shirts!"

7. A link to your site/store/etc. "Check 'em out here: LINK"

8. Products should be Phish/music/art/crafts related. There might be some other acceptable products but for now this should be enough.

9. No sales of drugs/weapons/illegal. We don't want Mockingbird to be accused of drug dealing.

10. (-Not sure on this one-)---A reprint of the .net ToU to remind users of the copyright infringement issues.

11. The donation to Mockingbird should be the same as PhanArt no matter what....."We'd like to thank the Mockingbird Foundation for giving us this space to share our products. Please make a donation to help keep this community vibrant and alive." Or something to that effect.

12. Also add to the already great- PhanArt page

13.

Hmmmm any other ideas?

Shakedown .net online sounds cool- I was able to donate over $40 so far because of the few posts I made here and was stoked to meet cool people. It's a great idea. Let's get it going

I have some goods right now I'm about to post to PhanArt- would be cool to do it here as well, all the sales from this traffic could do some good for Mockingbird

I'll take two please!

^ I agree on all counts, and I think Mockingbird is supported by PhanArt also, that's why I was pushing them, so they always end up earning something. I basically tried to copy/paste your original post and add my 0.02. Love the idea as who wants to leave the lot when the shows over anyway? I have some insane Mango Hot Sauce ready to be bottled and shipped! And other goods...

Cool idea, thanks @DirtyA11173. I posted in your cool new sticky thread

tasties.
