    Trading Idea

    Hey, I have an idea concerning trading, but I don't know if it should be in this thread or the trading thread, so mods can move it if they'd like.

    Why not start a list of members, the markers they'd like to trade, and the markers they'd like to recieve? Once there's a sufficent amount of members, 3- 4- or even 5- way trades could be set up, to make more people happy. I don't know the feasibility of this, but I'll start anyways.

    HAVE
    PPS SupersStocker
    pre2k PGP w/ holster

    WOULD LIKE
    Belsales Evolution

                  yea, that was what I couldn't figure out. PBN does that "good trader" list thing. Perhaps some kind of verification? Or if you had a multi-party trade I guess it's in itself a 3rd party.

                      PBN's good trader thing is BS.

                      Basically - "give us some paypal and we'll call you a good trader until you scam someone and sign up for a new name"
                      Kinda like how only their "Premium members" get to search only with a hint of false trding security.

                      Maybe if the posters and mods were halfway mature, i would consider giving them some Paypal. I'd give AO some paypal without thinking twice if they had the same type system PBN had - simply cause the AO community a 10^100 better than PBN kiddies.


                      back on topic: Great Idea though. Keep thinking - mayby try a thread like that stickied in the BST.

                          That sounds like a total waste of time to me.

                              I was thinking wouldn't this jsut be a consolidated WTB list? But no-one would be able to edit in real time...

                                  This is what the Buy/Sell/Trade forums are for. If you want a Belsales Evolution you search for it in its respective forum. If you have a PPS SuperStocker and pre2k PGP w/ holster and you want to sell them, you start a thread and other people who want said items will run search for them and hopefully buy them from you. It's a much simpler process than the chain you purpose. Deals between 2 people are confusing enough, adding extra members will only confuse the matter further, and people will end up getting screwed somewhere along the line.

                                      nothe brilliance in this idea, if it were setup properly, instead of having to comlete like 5 trades and have to pay for shipping 5 times to get what you want you could get it right away. It'd be a logistics nightmere though.
