General discussion thread - keep the other threads clean 29 29

[Dale Roberts]

A person who is a seller is potentially trying to take advantage of the forum, I don't see a buyer in the same way.

Since the general spirit of the forum is to offer deals here that you wouldn't offer elsewhere (because we are all in it together, peace love and camaraderie, pals deserve a break and what better pal is there than a fellow forumite)

I would think there is more opportunity for a buyer to take advantage than a seller.

 

 

uhhh, where is that thread?

[chromium]

I'd rather see a new member try and sell books for inflated prices but participate in the discussions, offer insights and opinions and be generally part of the "community" than have someone come on here with the sole purpose of selling books even if offered at rock-bottom prices.

I think you should change your board name to MrHypothetical

Yep, that would be the idealized version of this place. There are several people on this Forum who are only here to buy and contribute zero elsewhere on the boards. They also invariably seem to be first to the punch when it comes to the best buys.

 

But that is rarely if ever mentioned and there are certainly no rules against it.

What if you're selling Thread is pretty specific. I sold a small lot of Captain America books and in my post I stated what exactly I was selling.. I don't want to waste peoples time if the books/condition are not what they are looking for. Trying to give as much info up front in the thread title.

 

Is it ok to create another specific selling Thread spaced fairly apart in time?

 

Thanks!

In my warped brain, I've always thought of a sales thread as being over when it drops off of page one.

What did the original owner do with the cover?

I love the CGC boards. People are awesome.

 

off.

 

 

[TupennyConan]

I like to spend money on the Boards.

 

Spend for my hoard; spend to flip for profit; spend to flip for loss, spend to reduce stress.

 

Spend, spend, spend.

 

Once in a while I'll make a sale.

 

The rest of my time is spent in PM with greggy.

Buyers & Sellers are poo.

They go under the Ebay Dealers thread.

 

OK, my turn to ask a supid question,

 

When I get ready to run the Bunky 50% off thread, since the books are technically listed on my website, without the discount, would my thread go under the Gold/Siler/Broanze for sale thread, or the ebay dealers thread?

 

Thank you,

 

Bunk

 

[faster friends]

This poor guys sales thread is sooo jacked up

[nearmint]

On the contrary. All this talk has kept it at the top.

This was my first thought . . .

I could have sworn that this topic came up about 5 months ago and it was agreed that if you ask a lower price here it was OK....

I don't remember that, but I'd certainly prefer it that way.

It just makes sense.

The following guidelines are now in effect. Over some period of time these may be modified or expanded.

 

As of now, dealers are allowed to post here as long as all guidelines are respected.

 

Note that BUYERS AND SELLERS HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TRANSACTIONS. We will not resolve disputes, and purchases and sales are done at your own risk.

 

For Sale – Threads may be removed for failure to comply, and repeated issues could result in strikes.

 

1. Books must be CGC or raw only, or items directly related to comics.

2. No spamming. Group your for sale items into as few threads as is reasonable. Attempts to take up front page real estate by creating multiple threads for no reason are not allowed.

3. List your books only once, and in the appropriate sub-forum. Incorrectly placed threads or books posted in multiple places will be moved. Repeat offenders will have their threads pulled completely.

4. It must be an exclusive board-only offer. If the book is offered for sale through another venue (ebay, dealer site, personal web site, etc.) then it should NOT be offered here. It should be offered in the Sales Advertising board.

5. Links to outside sites for any purpose involving purchasing the offered books are not allowed.

6. It must list specific books with purchase prices. It is acceptable to bulk price, and/or to note that package discounts may be available, but you must list a starting price that you WILL sell for.

7. List scans or information about the grade of the offered books.

8. List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods.

9. List acceptable forms of payment

10. If posting a trading thread you must list a dollar value price for the book that you WILL accept in TRADE VALUE, and you MUST put "TRADE ONLY" in the title of your thread if you will not accept money.

11. Prompt responses must be made to buy requests made through the boards (posts or PMs).

12. Threads may be bumped three times total AND only ONE FULL DAY AFTER falling off of the front page. This does not include "sold" notices, or truly useful informational updates. Note: we CAN tell the difference between a real update and a fake bump-update. Tread that line at your own risk. If you're spam bumping, "lawyering" the rules will not save you.

 

BUYERS When you reply to a sale thread indicating that you'll buy something you must indicate what book you're buying. Otherwise, if someone else is more specific than you are first, your offer won't be considered valid.
