- Thread starter Doctor Q
- Start date

The six months thing will be up in october for me. I'm just curious about what is for sell there. I prefer, (No pun intended) to window shop more than to buy.
This should be sticky'd. Maybe that'll help lessen the amount of "What happened to the marketplace" threads.
Obviously nobody's reading the rules etc at the very top of the page. Maybe they'll read this.
Agreed... I had to do a few searches before I found this thread.
Finally, I get to see it. And its one of those, now that I got it, what do I do with it things. 
How long have I been a user for?
Why?
Oh, cheers. That sucks a bit, I have to double my two year post-count to see it now.
Why?
Sometimes it takes a while for the servers to catch up.
I'm sure that within the next few hours you'll see it.
250 is excessive, in my opinion, but if it works for you then more power to ya.
I've been a member for two years and have about 150 posts. Why not more?
It's too bad that this great resource is so restrictive. Maybe in two more years I'll be judged worthy of buying someone else's used Mac stuff...

- My Mac works fine most of the time
- I'm pretty casual about the whole Mac thing
- I'm not a super Mac user so I let those with more experience do the Q/A thing
- No offense but I have a rather busy life outside of Mac Forums

Sorry you feel that way, but it isn't like that at all
I think the original post says it all, so I won't repeat it
Woof, Woof - Dawg

Obviously as this was announced over five months ago and you seem to have just noticed it, it doesn't seem be that critical or common of a need for you. There's always Apple Store refurbs, Craigslist, or eBay.
I've just hit the the magic 250 after what can only be described as a magical 1 year and 28 days here on MR
On a more serious note...I made 6502 a couple of hours ago yet there's still no sign of the fabled marketplace forum, am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do something in order to access it?

^ It can take a little time for your post count to be "read" and recognised by the entire forum system, give it a few more hours. You might also try logging out and in.
Wait for a few more hours until all the servers do their thing. Contact us if it's not working for you within the next 24-48 hours.
Thanks for the prompt responses guys, however, just as I replied to this thread the marketplace forum appeared, I wonder if hitting 251 posts forced the count to be recognised by the forum system.
Duff-Man says....uhhh, try reading the post right above yours, might help you out...oh yeah!
I guess I haven't been paying attention to the changes around here (since this happened about a year ago), but I just wanted to say this is a good change... though it didn't help me sell my laptop.
Ah well, here's to continuous virtual civic improvement!
