Would anyone here be interested in a permanent off-site trading forum?

Details

There would be two trading forums:

 

1) Regular Trading Forum

A long-term trading area where each member has their own permanent store.

 

2) Trade-It-Forward (TIF) Forum

A rapid trading area with brokered trades similar to the PIF thread but with no allusions to community or altruism.

 

 

Other

Discussion areas and email system for trading negotiations.

Highly configurable email alert system.

Member feedback area not limited to positive comments.

Moderation to quickly eliminate shills/scammers/abusers/etc.

Participation is free, and all are welcome.

 

If there's enough interest, I can make this happen. And if this is successful, I'm thinking that maybe someday we could convince Arch to incorporate something similar into the new forum software. :)

 

PS - In case you're wondering, I would get nothing out of this except the ability to trade comics and related items with a larger audience than just my friends.

 

Please discuss.

I would do it. I have some double and blue labels that i would love to trade for SS books I need.

Out of curiosity Sean what creators/books/labels are you looking for?

 

If this is too personal you don't have to respond, or you could PM me.

Regular SS - Anyone that I don't have - mostly rarer stuff, but also some moderns where I have missed the boat: Examples are Marshall Rogers, Jim Aparo, Mike Wieringo, Mike Esposito, maybe an Al Plastino, Mart Nodell, Craig Flessel, Luis Domingues, Graham and Roy on a Prophet book, a single-digit Bone book, Sandman artists that I don't have . . .

 

Celebrity SS and Sketches - anything that is awesome.

Cool!

 

I was just curious, if it was just artists or writers no longer with us, or people who just don't sign.

 

Thanks for the reply (thumbs u

Well, there's definitely been enough interest. :)

 

So without further ado, I'm rolling out the new "COMIC BOOK TRADING AREA" which includes:

 

1) THE TRADING FORUM - A long term trading forum where each member has their own permanent store.

- This trading forum is fully functional and is up and running. Go grab a store today and start trading!

 

2) TRADE IT FORWARD (TIF) FORUM - A brokered trading forum for rapid trades.

- This forum has been created, but will be on hold until we hammer out the new rules.

 

These forums are also supported by:

an EMAIL ALERT SYSTEM

a "HOW TO" SECTION

a MEMBER FEEDBACK FORUM

a PROBATION AREA

a MODERATION AREA

as well as trading area-specific DISCUSSION AREAS

 

:whee:

 

So now you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel like trading comic books?" Well, do ya, punk?

 

If so, then go to:

http://the-comic-book-forum.boards.net/

and get yourself signed up.

 

:grin:

 

Please note: All CGC members are welcome. But in order to avoid confusion and maintain some degree of transaction security, I'm requiring all TRADING AREA participants to sign up with the exact same forum name as the one they use on the CGC forum. I'm also requiring any old or new TCBF members who found the website through other venues to sign up with the CGC forum before they will be allowed to participate.

 

Have fun, and good luck with your trades!
