We should have a Buy/Sell/Trade subforum. It wouldn't get many posts, but it sure would be handy. GAF doesn't have one.

Or just a stickied thread...

How bout a sex meet up thread?
-
I think that could be classified as Buy/Sell/Trade
-
The reason GAF doesn't have them is because they are more trouble than they are worth.
Even if you put up a notice that the mods/forum has NOTHING TO DO with the trades, the mods will get pissed really quick once someone gets scammed or someone doesn't send shit out, and they have to deal with the fallout of a poster telling them they HAVE to do something.
Yes, they wouldn't have to do anything, but this community is small, and they would probably feel compelled to try to do something.

I figured that's the case, but I also figured it wouldn't really be a problem here until the userbase fills out with extra douchebags.

yeah. you start a new thread for whatever merchandise you have to sell and lock it yourself once somebody bids high enough on it (preferably by PM).
-
nope

partay poopier

Just pm each other or some shit. I have yet to see a buy/sell/trade forum WORK. It usually becomes a five thread garage sale where people try to sell shit they hate.
-
no bumping. no posting in somebody else's thread unless it's a question about the product.

Anyone want a 4 gig ipod nano (1st gen, black) and a pair of Shure E4g headphones? Both have barely been used. What, $125 or so for the nano?

I'll sign my name on a piece of paper and send it to you for a measly two grand. Any takers? :-*

HD-DVD player for the 360, now going for $150 + 2 movies!
-
Hmmm...
-
Def a sticky.
-
Scamming will happen, and that's just a huge headache for mods. Use PM's or go to a forum like cheapassgamer or something.

I dunno, I figure if you allow a thread/sub-forum for buy/sell/trade, that you've got to warn fuckers that they WILL be banned if they dick over someone. I can't really figure how it'd piss off a mod or anything to just go through a few clicks to ban a fucker.

Dude, think about who we have moderating the forums over there. Obviously whitey is cool, but even he is mean and lazy, just in a cool way. Everyone else is that way in a SUCKY way.
-
We simply can't enforce fair buy/trade/sell.

I promise to send the socks Priority Mail
