Title: How about a "Discontinued Products" section?
Post by: dbz4u on February 16, 2013, 06:48 am
Stuff like defunct/canceled candy's, soda's, Toy's etc. What do you guys think?

Bump. Anyone else have any interest in this? I'm sure you guys remember things like Pepsi Blue, or Sticky Hands when you were a kid. There has got to be some love for things that aren't around anymore on here right?

What about Crystal Pepsi? 

I like the idea and would love to see the throwback stuff.  My question is how would you source it?  And is there enough of a market for this?

Not sure why anyone would want to go to the trouble of buying that stuff on here when it can be bought/sold on the white market.

The whole idea is that it is an overall container section for ALL discontinued products. Anything that people want to list, or find they want to list after seeing a request in the request section. I think this could be awesome and possibly bring back products people never knew they wanted

I like the idea as well, I'm just not sure how you'll make money doing it.  One area is over-the-counter medicine that gets taken off shelves.  I remember people buying Exedrin Migraine when it was taken off shelves.  Not sure the customer base will come on SR to buy stuff like that though.  So I dunno, I like the idea in theory, just not sure it will be profitable here.

That's what I'm saying i think there's a lot of untapped potential here

Sounds to me like a case for the "collectible" section. Why not put it in there, the items you describe are some sort of collectibles and the category is empty (except the strange 12" Horselington of nomad)
Try it, I think there is no real market for it but who knows - Like Thomas J. Watson was 1943 quoted, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers", I may be wrong ;)

I see.  Makes sense.
