Have fallen upon hard times and was going to sell my woodlore knife however I cant post it for sale in the 'Members Classifed' section as it says at the bottom ''You may not post new threads" Oh well just have to take it down the Cash Converters and see how much they will give me for it :(

Perhaps it's linked to the fact that a new BCUK site will soon be up and running. It was said that there may be forums that will be read-only.

Taking a guess...

As has been mentioned below you do need to be fully paid up member to post in the classifieds.

As EdS says your best bet will be on Evil-bay. When i sold my woodie recently it was to a member on here but it was for the same price a paid for it, i at least wanted my money back but i was happy for it to go for a sensible price.

Most woodies on e-bay go for at least £350-£400. It might be because Ray's series is not on TV at the moment or maybe people are getting wise to how much these things are actually worth.

The bottom line is...if you want the money back that you paid for it try on here or british blades.....if you want to try and get more for it, go for e-bay

As said before: you need to be a Full Member to be able to post in the Member Classifieds-section:

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=29
<snip> This forum does have conditional use; to start a new thread in this forum (sell something) you need to be a full member (someone that has subscribed to BCUK) being able to sell in this forum is one of the benefits of supporting BCUK.
Once an item has been put up for sale any member can then purchase the item (All members are allowed to post replies in the forum) <snip>

To become a Full Member:

Why becoming a Full Member, other than selling your stuff:

Using the Swap shop:

Anyone using the Swap shop will be deemed to have read these rules and regs.

<snip>

The Swap Shop is for all members of Bushcraft UK to use, no money is allowed to change hands, the idea is that you put up an item or items that you are willing to swap, anyone interested can offer something of theirs to swap with you.

Also have a look at this thread (post #4 in particular):

Just an aside, if I get the magazine, does that make me a full member ? Or is it an extra charge ?

If you get the magazine you are not by definition a Full Member (FM).
You are a Full Member if you've paid a subsription for your FM-ship (how to become a FM and its benefits: see above in this post).

If you are a FM - you can get a discount on your Magazine subscription.
Don't if the same applies if it's the otherway around ...

You can see if you're a FM or not directly under your BCUK username. In your case 'CCCC'. You are not a FM, because under 'CCCC' stands the word 'Member'. Now check it with, for example 'Wayland': he is a FM, because he has 'Full Member' under his BCUK username. So you know he paid his subscription to become one.

Everyone who joins BCUK is a 'Member' like you. The difference between a 'Member' and a 'Full Member' is solely the subscriptions paid by the FM's.

The bit under either 'Member' or 'Full Member' (i.e. Native, Active member, Tenderfoot, etc.) is related to the amount of posts you make.

HTH

Too late have taken it down the Cash Converters - they gave me £20 for it. Now some nutter will buy it and use it to hold up a Post Office. :eek:

YOU ARE HAVIN' A GIRAFFE! :eek:

I'd have given you £25 at least for it! Please tell me you are joking!

Still, they do say, something is only worth what you get for it! :(

If he has got some diamonds , i've got some 'Magic bean's' i'd swap for them, or a set of completely invisible bushcraft clothes, used to belong to an Emperor, apparently! :rolleyes:
