I don't think Gamingforce should encourage a "marketplace" atmosphere. I think there could be a lot of unforseen problems (like all others have suggested) and it MAY change things around here, depending on how it went.

At the same time, members often have something that another member could use or want.

I would say if the liability of it is completely , entirely, and unquestionably removed from GFF and there was only ONE trading/buying thread in CC or something stickied at the top, it would cool.

I think if someone does consider making a thread like this a possibility, that there should definitely be a cap on levels or something as to address each person's personal reputation with buying/selling.

But seeing how a forum or thread like this would have so much red tape or restrictions on usage, maybe it's just best left to the journal whoring.

WHERE ARE MY CARDS CRASH LANDON? WELL WHERE ARE THEY?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why, yes it is Mush. I have lost a lot of weight, graduated from Yale, and have starred in such movies as Contact and Silence of the Lambs!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Especially in legal trading situations such as this, since GFF doesn't handle the money or anything. It's no different than Craigslist.

A game trading thread would be interesting. Obviously all trades would be operated at the participant's discretion. They shouldn't deal with people they don't trust. Ask the participants to supply an eBay history or something similar to show they're legit. That'd help.

So you do like the idea of an individual thread in lieu of an entire forum?

Because the liability part can be completely removed from GFF if everyone is strict and abides by it. It should be an independent undertaking by members and between members. Like you said: Craigslist.

The only problem is that no one can actually ENFORCE anything if this is the case - which could be a detriment, albeit not a very large one.

How ya doing, buddy?
