Selling things on this site in the gear for sale/Trade section is out of the question unles you want to get arrested.

We are still waiting to hear from the GSNZ board regarding a few matters but soon NNO will be giving add space for sellers who stock new products.

thanks for showing the respect to ask first, i really dig that!

There's no way you'd catch me saying that I was trying to sell undoubtedly high quality but unidentified products from a country far far away for an undisclosed but highly competitive exchange of currency at a place on the wondrously wide web with a site name starting with one of the first (lets say) 3 letters of the alphabet and ending with .co.nz....

No way....

Billy, your cheakyness rubs me the right way!

I have been waiting for quite some time to hear back from GSNZ before making the final call regarding advertising but it seems that it is starting to hurt the local sellers, like Bombardier, who have been fully behind NNO and using it as a means to get that "undoubtedly high quality but unidentified products from a country far far away" out to the riders in need of such wares.

Nick, what is the hold up with the reply from GSNZ? When are we having the next board meeting as this issues has been hanging for a few months now. I know in the past yourself speaking as the owner of UB has said that you think Facebook is a far better space to advertise but many others vendors seem to think that NNO is the place to be seen. They have waited very patiently but IF I was them I would be very annoyed this is dragging out so long.

Can we have a GSNZ board meeting this week to discuss the relationship between NNO and GSNZ?

If I do not get a reply from GSNZ by this time next week I think it will be time to release the new advertising rules as I hate to see the likes of www.boarderlines.co.nz hurting as I have only heard good reports from billy's prices, service and what he is doing for skateboarders in nz!

i would way rather a site like nno where all retailers/board builders in NZ show there products and give updates etc..
The reason being is that it keeps NZ Longboarding all in one place and makes it a tight unit.

And to me facebook isnt nearly as effective as a forum website with thousands of members and posts that date way back, because say if people who are just getting into longboarding want to find out some stuff and get recomendations on NZ boards and products being sold in NZ the will most probably use a search engine like Google. If you google: New Zealand Longboards which are key words Need Not Ollie is the FIRST website that comes up. Its not logical to jump on facebook and try to find this type on info because facebook is not the place i personally would expect to find updates and info from the New Zealand longboarding scene.

Yes you can have all the people following you on facebook but its no way near as many people as i think are on nno. And it separates you from the scene.

I AM NOT attacking Ultimate Boards about there Facebook site this is just me saying my opinion to help grow our scene, and i dont care what it is on facebook i personally dont like it as a advertising tool.
:)

For me its not so much about the loss of advertising on NNO.

I can't deny this is a great place to drop updates on whats coming and going in the store. My main concern is that its not easy to contribute to discussions without inadvertently and/or sneakily advertising or promoting the store. I fully understand the reasoning behind it though.

I don't like Facebook either, not because of any opinions I might have about the pros and cons of Facebook as a marketing tool, but because I'm an old fart and just don't really see what the attraction is. And don't get me started on Twitter.

Billy

so is it a yes or a no?

it's just that i've got something that is 'red' 'hot' here and is a really good wheel - I mean 'deal'.

go on, i saw the deal, i want the wheel so let us know what you gots!

give me a week and I will have the add stuff sorted

Have small boxes on the right side of the page with advertising for NZ board companies like Ulitamte boards, boarderlines and bombardier which have there small image linking to their web site for however much money a month.

Its better than advertising in the paper, facebook etc. Because people on this site are here for longboarding only so you will only find people that want to buy longboards

Still have Gear for sale/trade/wanted for non retail sellers.

This is a happy medium for all everyone, Thats my idea.

Any news from GSNZ? Whats the hold up?
I got some NZ made stuff i want NZ to see.

NZ NEEDS TO SEE IT!

Stoke travels faster than any form of advertising.
