Any decent post whore can get up to 100 rather quickly.
2 or 3 months of commitment, that's pretty solid.
Mate that with a post amount requirement, and those scalpers who know jack and **** about TF's would be revealed to those paying attention to their posts.
I sent Ryan a PM with the idea a little earlier. Hopefully he finds some merit in it.
thanks for telling Seibs about this. i agree with you that TF Trading is an essential part of a TF online community; heck, here in our country, one of the most active (and at times, the most active part) of the local TF forums are the trading threads.
trading builds up a certain bond with collectors you know; though a certain toy is loose, knowing that it came from the hands of a TF collector, you have the assurance that at least this toy has been well-taken care of. it's also a fun way to make new friends.
i don't know why, but even with simple rules, we Pinoy collectors thrive and build lots of camaraderie over this practice. based on my experience, i still have not had a scam/bad/lousy trade over here. neither have the other members. ok, maybe there were some little spat over extensive haggling and such, but never have most of us experienced being scammed.
maybe Seibs could bring it back, but a set of moderators would be the ones enforcing the rules on the new Carbombya; take all the suggestions here, tweak it a little, probably add some more to make it work like it should. in such a short time, many of us have come up with simple but good ideas to prevent such shortcomings in the future.
Exactly. I have had nothing but great experiences trading here, and would much rather have a piece in my collection come from one of you, rather than some anonymous ebayer. Also, I'm sure as people read this news, others will come up with many more ideas to make Carbomya a safer place to trade.
If it is Mods that are needed to make this work, I would be more than happy to volunteer my time.
