Rushchick10 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 So, quick question: Would anyone be interested in a website dedicated to Rush memorabilia? Been tossing this idea around for a while, but don't want to put forth the effort if no one would be interested. It would be basically a site where people could post wanted/sale/trade items. I have seen something like this before, but it seemed to be dedicated to vinyl. This would have a broader scope. I know you can hunt stuff on Ebay (and, I do and have found some great items!), but you have to admit that you gotta sort through a lot of crap to find the gems.

ytserush Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'd be interested. Here's a link to some stuff I'm parting with: http://www.mikeportnoy.com/forum/fb.ashx?m=2620767 The Rush stuff is near the bottom... I've been meaning to go through some of my Rush 45s so I'm sure I'd make some of those available at some point too and maybe some promo 12 inches. I'd also be interested in trades depending on what it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Great idea. I have bought and sold a ton of Rush stuff over the years. It would be nice to have a dedicated site. People here often get uptight when someone tries to do any business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely be interested even something simple like a Discogs/Craigslist format would do the trick what about asking the TRF powers-that-be if they'd be interested in having it be part of the forum? that'd be a hell of a lot of specifically interested eyes/traffic, and an opportunity to sell some advertising/merch themselves win win!

greg2112 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 If its a buy/sell site and not just a showcase one, absolutely. There's a ton of stuff out there I'd love to get my hands on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrinx Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Check out the thread "My Rush autographs on Ebay" and you will see how people feel about doing business on this site. It should be a separate site altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a separate site altogether. Yes, please read that thread and see if anyone anywhere says people should not be allowed to sell Rush items. Way to completely misread a thread and then complain about it in another one. Sorry RushChick10. Don't mean to clutter your thread. Just don't want you to be misled by Syrinx.

rummut71 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It's a messageboard... There's no room for sensitivity. No one in this thread has mentioned the expense of any items. I would guess nor will they. Collectors collect. Those who have posted before you seem to grasp the concept that rare items might cost. I honestly don't care, and would love to see a thread with cool and rare stuff on it for swap or sale. It seems you are more hurt about it than anyone else, dude. I'm out of this thread, so as to not interfere with its original course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusher Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (usb_connector @ Feb 16 2011, 03:02 PM) You took my quote out of context. I specified THOSE autographs were overpriced. I support a site dedicated to Rush memerobilia and I would understand the high prices for items that are extremely rare, but sendind an item to a venue will get it back signed by the three band members provided they get them during this tour. That's what I've been trying to tell Syrinx and Rummut all along. Those comments (not complaints) were just about that auction in particular. And for some reason, those 2 are very sensitive about people commenting on the auction. BTW - no one says anything against having a Rush memorabilia section, for trade and/or sale. I have no idea where they're reading that. I for one think that's a great idea for everybody. Edited February 16, 2011 by rusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Greetings Net Boys and Net Girls, There is a section on an Alice Cooper forum site called, "The Trading Post". It is a place for fans to share not only photos of their collections but also, as the term says, to trade with other fans. From what I can gather, it is strickly limited to trade of memorabilia for memorabilia. It all seems to work out well in a very civil manner. I have tons of Rush related memorabilia that I've collected from 1977 to the present, and am missing just a few pieces that I have been looking for over the years. Great idea and post Rushchick10, many thanks. ~Peace, Love, Rush Stuff RGLT Edited February 16, 2011 by ReGorLaTroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Rusher - where have I misread a thread?? if you have been on this forum for a few years you would have seen that any attempt to do business or to draw attention to auctions is frowned upon by a lot of people, regardless of price asked. It somehow sullies this board. And there is a real resentment among many when someone asks a high price for something they own. Like that should really bother you. All I am saying is I would prefer a seperate site, where there would be no backlash and the sole interest would be to buy, sell or trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I have been on these boards as long as you have I will have gained the profound wisdom of how message boards work. It's a lofty goal, but I will try. And really, you talk in circles. You say in the other thread "why does anyone get uptight when they see someone selling something for a high price? It is a free world." That really doesn't jive with your post here, does it? And I agree with your last sentence. Never once did I or anyone else in the other thread even hint that such a board should not be created. Why do you and Rummut keep inferring that one of us did?
