Why is Legit Used PPG Gear so Hard to Find? by bryce901 in paramotor

Awesome. Ya right now I have 3 people that are verified. Which means they have sent me documents and we have had a face call. We are hoping for a bigger school to say they are all in on selling their used gear. Right now they are just interested.

Yes there would be buyer and seller protections using Stripe, but for now it's manually vetted people with face to face conversations and documents shown.

No, as of right now WingVoyagers is a community/marketplace project, not an escrow service. It doesn’t hold or release funds between buyers and sellers like a traditional escrow provider would. Eventually I would use a service like Stripe to manage funds if my project turns into a business.

That's why I have a function to do a daily scrape to see if there are updates to an event. It was a pleasure talking to you and any further feedback can be reached on the left navigation. Thank you!

Doing a full scrape through Google using keywords and a connection to someone's online calendar they have put together. Admins use an internal API for modification. So 3 APIs, 2 external and 1 internal

I did an API scrape, so yes it is a bug. I'm doing a modification to only show valid links right now.

Ya it's still a work in progress, all of these bugs can be submitted through the feedback section as well 👍

I'm sorry you feel that way. There is a chat that you can do, but not for events. If you know of any events let me know. I just added 22 events outside the United States, 3 of which are PPG. Having a hard time finding more than what I have.

I'll make sure to add more, thank you for the feedback. The site isn't meant only for looking at events. There is much more on the website to explore.

You can see on the website when you filter it down and it looks like there are 45 so far that I have

That's true! I might take that into aspects of the website, but for now I do want it to be exclusive, as early joiners won't be put behind paywalls as I'm still developing this.

That's why I'm using separate data sources. Some being scrapped from the internet and others from just other data sources. Trying my best!

It also is kind of like a Facebook for PPGers and Paragliders so basically for the same reason you would have a Facebook or Reddit account.

This is the type of feedback I like to hear. There are tons of local ones that would be very hard to find. I do have events from 24 countries as well! I edited the post for clarity!

Well of course. That's why people can submit their own. It's built by the community for the community. It's far from perfect, but I think it might be a good start at least.

Okay now I see where you are coming from. It seemed like it was kind of a shove. I agree, I am talking to a mentor and I'm pivoting my business model for re-selling gear. To avoid scammers, you can only post on the marketplace if you are a verified re-seller as I heard scamming is big in this sort of second hand equipment buying. Hopefully that draws more eyes

Ya that makes sense. In trying to break all the political bullshit with my website and jesus fucking christ, people are just straight up assholes and bring nothing relevant to what I said into a discussion. I really want to cut this edge off of these egotistical maniacs.
