Question about buy/sell forum

@worn2fade search is your friend.

I think this discussion is healthy and good for the forum unlike the voucher thread

People reusing others’ pics are either scammers or lazy dicks, @goosehd . I’m not sure taking the pics down any sooner really prevents that.
The buy/sell forum has been waaay better, and for that I am grateful to the mods. Tagging pics with a dated slip is the best safeguard.

@goosehd yeah the fees are crazy! almost like there is a gap in the market for undercutting the competition!
After doing some proper research, I was in fact off with my estimations that a gap in the market was viable. Basically, payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal dictate that you need a big additional % to make any money on top of their mandatory fee.
The forum marketplace will live on!

I’ve got a selling question, if i may tack it on to this thread:
Haven’t put anything up for sale here in many years, but recently have been thinking about advertising some items - a couple of which are worth a fair bit. Seeing as i’d prefer not to get ripped off, is it reasonable for me to include a statement to the effect of “will only deal with forum members who have an established track record or reputation”? Or would that be considered poor form?

@RocknRoll in my opinion perfectly acceptable.

…on the flip side, I very rarely hear of any issues with sales and think that this platform is relatively safe. There are a few habitual tire kickers, but not real issues.
Edit: and the greatest condition added to any ad from a member:
@Giles said in Random Rants:
So, use the Filthy Mike clause, which I think is genius....
To paraphrase:
"I believe this to be a fair price. I will not entertain offers, nor will I respond to them"
Can also be read as "get fucked, loser"
I urge you to use it in your listings.......
