[QUOTE="Clive, post: 609261, member: 6"] The Farming Forum "Quote me" feature is a free service to help put buyers and sellers of agricultural inputs, produce and machinery in touch with each other without spending hours ringing around a more limited selection of suppliers and buyers You may be looking for a quote for your autumn herbicide requirement, next seasons Fertiliser or even a new bit of farm machinery ! Equally you may have grain or other produce to sell and are looking for the best merchant price either way why limit your search to just the same few regulars you call when you could widen it to every supplier and buyer in the UK via TFF Quote Me [B][SIZE=5]How it works[/SIZE][/B] A TFF member uses the "[B]new post"[/B] button to start the quote me process The post title should contain a short description of the item wanted or offered to the market - i.e. "100t Extran" or "250t Feed wheat" etc The body of the post should then contain all the information that is required for others to give an accurate quote, this will be quote specific but add as much detail as you can including any relevant [B]specification detail, quantities, required latest deliver or collection date and location[/B] If you wish you can add a date or time by which you would like to close the tender process Location can be as specific as a postcode or just an area (nearest town) if you would prefer When all the detail you think is needed is added click the [B]"create thread" [/B]button and your request is now live Suppliers and buyers wishing to respond to the thread should do so via the PM function on the site. When you have received a few quotes and decided which is best then you can either decide to proceed with a deal or not. Contact those that took time to quote you via PM to tell them they are unsuccessful this time and pass you contact details to the members whose quote you want to go with to. From that point forward acceptance, further organisation and completion of any deals is between buyer and seller by what ever method they choose, phone, email etc. TFF is in no way responsible for what happens beyond that point, There is no obligation to accept any quotes received but I would request that when your deal is either completed or finished you return to your post and add "completed" comment If this becomes a widely used feature on TFF we will invest time and resource into making it a bit slicker process maybe with the addition of some simple forms to help gather all the info required for your quote Threads are left open so other members can post helpful comments about who they have had similar good deals from recently if they wish but actual quotes should be via PM to keep a closed tender system I hope you find it of use, I for one will be making regular use of it and think it could become a powerful way to quickly and efficiently insure i'm buying and selling at the best possible prices Like everything on TFF its success is dependent upon you the member - use it to improve your business and make UK farming more efficient or loose it as yet another idea where farmers were unable to help themselves when given a new way trade [/QUOTE]
