well put your website in you signature, and join some conversations. maybe post some pics of th emine and the rough. after a few weeks and maybe 30 postings start offering sales - or keep it all on your site and just show pics/news here.
we really give people with 1 or 2 posts a hard time if they just sell. so comon, join in.

What? I am active in a lot of forums and networks all over the web and I haven't sold darn thing here because, although I joined many years ago, I never got around to getting involved. Also I can out-ornery anybody, so they can just try to give me a hard time and see where it gets them. This wasn't very welcoming If you are so ornery, why are you worried about a welcome?

Ignorance is no excuse. Read the rules before you post.

At the very least - if you're not going to take the time to read pinned posts. How about:
My name is Jenny. I've sold rocks/minerals on the internet for years, but haven't been active on this forum. Anything I need to know to post stuff for sale here? This is my eBay seller ID, here are the websites I've sold, I know these members from this site, etc...
Not so hard, yes??

Welcome back to the forum. Some of the people on here do not trust anyone that does not have a lot of posts. They never look at the date you joined for some reason that is beyond me. On the flip side of the coin some of the people on here have been burned by new people so they think that every newbie is out to burn people.
If you return with an attitude you will not sell squat on here. Every new person or people with only a few posts get treated the same and you have not been singled out as the first person to get the cold shoulder. Toad was very nice compared to some of the people on here and he did welcome you without being cranky. He just told you how things are here. Simple and to the point. Sellers that are cranky will not sell anything anywhere so relax, be nice and the people here will treat you like you are family. Having to weather a little bit of a storm is like an initiation that proves what kind of person you really are and how much you want to be a part of the family. I really hope that you stick around because we really do like new people added to the forum. Jim

Well, good luck with that attitude. I am sure it will get people to flock to your store. Jim

I seek to continually amuse, inform, and get people stirred up lol, there is someone here that specializes in two of the three above. . . Can't wait till you two cross paths. :cheesy: Welcome, my advice would be simply to try to stay between the guardrails. . .

A bit sensitive are we? It is called constructive criticism. We try to help each other. Even people that are just here to sell...

well I went and looked at your site, it may be warm and welcoming to you but its very hard on my eyes.
Your page colors kinda detract from what is on them instead of showing off your cool items
maybe you should consider a facelift to your site to get people to spend more time browsing it.
the strong colors chase me out of it

words taken back
they were perceived as combative and that was not my intent.

shotgunner is right about the buy it now buttons also paypal makes it very easy to set up a shopping cart on your site as the codes for it are copy and paste. I had a website not too long ago and had a shopping cart and buy it now buttons. Makes a big difference in the sales.

my 60 year old eyes have a hard time with the hard/harsh colors of some of the pages I think if you just tone the colors down to more muted tones it would be better

When potential new friends offering advise is seen as "combative" the conversation was over before it started.
I did not mean to step on your toes. I take back my words.
