This was announced in General Discussion, Carbombya is back open.

As Ryan stated here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=35066

"I merged the Buy/Sell/Trade forum from Transtopia with the Carbombya forum, which I just reopened. I expect all of you to play nice in that forum and please remember that you are solely responsible for your transactions.

I have also merged the Transtopia General Discussion forum with the Seibertron.com General Discussion forum."

You actually need to click on the word "Forums" at the top of the page. This will bring up a list of all of the Seibertron Forums. I hope people know about the forum list because there are a lot more forums than on the drop down list.

Another case of the squeaky wheel, perhaps? Especially after the merger, I'm guessing...

Well I was ripped off before, so I probably won't be using it.

Counterpunch threatened us mods with a Permadoucheing if we didn't, so we quickly complied.

nice.... a new sig quote

Nice to see your pic back in your sig Getter...... always cool to see that as the last reply in a locked thread.... looks intimidating or somthing along that lines

Maybe if we all buy just from CP it will all be alright :grin:

If CP were in here right now, I'm sure he'd say something along the lines of 'Damn straight' :wink:

Glad that they're back. It'll certainly make tf buying easier.

Simple tip- read what other people say. Reference the person you're buying/selling/trading with to make sure they're trustworthy.

Or ask CP for approval.

I'd like to emphasize this point. You should be weary of people with limited posts or who post things that are "too good to be true". What I do when I buy something is; see if they can list it on e-bay (even if I have to pay $5 extra) so I am protected by e-bay, pay with PayPal so I can dispute the charge on my credit card, and if they are overseas I will never pay with cash or money order. If you do plan to pay with cash or money order, it really should be someone you trust. For example, people I met at BotCon I have more trust with or fellow members I have chatted with and PM'ed often.

I've always been curious as to what Carbombya means and how the name came to be?

Glad to see it back though and hopefully I can pick up some G1's from some fellow Seibertronians.

G1 and the Carbombya Bazzar.

(Car-bomb-ya + arab bazzar = 80's hilarity.)

It's from a season 3 episode. Can't remember the name though.
Only episode I've seen Ultra Magnus use his shoulder rockets in (in my memory anyways).

Asking for a pic is a good idea too. At least you know they actually have what you're buying/trading for for sale.

Agreed. Just be wary of the seller who copies and pastes a Seibertron.com gallery pic as their photo... #-o

I think you mean bazaar. I know, I know, I just got off my permadoucheing, I should not be so coy.
