Recomended Retailers - or not!

[tedw]

How about a listing of outdoors related retailers that would allow users to give them marks out of 10 and add coments about good or bad service. It could havelegal implications, I suppose, but would allow us to support the good guys and maybe give the rest an incentive to improve.

This picks up Roving Rich's suggestion from the Traders' Post thread, but I imagine something like the feedback system on E-Bay or the kit reviews on http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/.

Sounds good in theory but could back fire as the site could get a bad name if it is known for flaming people, just my thoughts. Business's would go mad.

I agree with TheKnight on this one, would be good.. we may even be able to get discounts for BC:UK members... but i think it might end up doing more harm than good.

This is something only Tony can really answer though

Just my point of view - sorry

I think that there is enough information for people on the site already - as long as you look through the threads properly.

If you are looking for something from a good seller, see if there are any recommendations on here.

If there is no info on the site about what you want - start a new thread and see what comes up. You should get more than enough info to start you on your way.

As someone who has to remain impartial in the work I do (and believe me that is bloomin' hard sometimes) I dont think that you could run a reviews page and offer discounts for members. I know that it probably wouldn't be a problem - but there are always ways and means.

I agree with you Rob ... I also think that it's better for the buyer to do some research and make their own minds up as to what's best to them. there's too many criteria to judge from and one person's experiences might be different to another's simply because of expectation or what they ordered.

My 2p ... no refunds!

We could not implement a ratings system here as we have no way for you to prove that you have 'actualy' bought goods from the company..... the scope for abuse would be huge.....
