Administrator CGC Mike Posted December 6, 2021 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hey all: I just turned on the trading card marketplace. Please read all of the guidelines before starting any threads.

You can advertise your thread in the announcement thread, which is located here. Want to buy forum https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/106-card-market-want-to-buy/ Kudos Forum https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/104-kudos-forum/ Ebay/dealers advertising forum (to post links for off site selling) https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/105-card-market-sales-advertising-ebay-dealers-etc/ Here's a link to the parent forum, and all of the sub-forums https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/101-trading-card-marketplace/ In the parent forum, there is a general discussion thread.

Administrator CGC Mike Posted December 7, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 7, 2021 I have edited my first post to show a Miscellaneous forum and a Sports Card forum. Also, I noticed most all of the marketplace guidelines threads were hidden. I'm not sure how that happened but, they are all now back in view.

Oreos Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Awesome @CGC Mike!! Thanks for the announcement. Was hoping this would come eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreativemente Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Noice! Will there be a system for tracking sales?? Not sure if anyone is familiar with how sales work on Reddit (for Pokemon), but you get a tally of how many successful transactions you've made. Helps to give confidence to buyers/sellers that they wont be scammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps to give confidence to buyers/sellers that they wont be scammed. There is a kudos forum. We encourage both buyers and sellers to start a thread for themselves. After a transaction is finished, you could ask the other party if they are willing to leave you positive feedback. This has been going on for many years on the comics side, and has proven to work well. The comics forum is highly successful for both buyers and sellers. People have worked hard to keep this forum a real nice place to buy and sell, and make it several steps above ebay. There is even a probation and hall of shame list for people who have failed to hold up their end of the deal. As a rule, there is great communication, people pay promptly and items are shipped in a timely manner. I feel the same things will happen in the card marketplace.

Thought I should point out that the reason we have a probation thread and a probation discussion thread is because our host has indicated they won't get involved in buying and selling disputes here. This is our best solution to self police ourselves. kreativemente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our best solution to self police ourselves. This is correct. CGC only moderates the buying and selling guidelines that have been put in place for each forum.

Administrator CGC Mike Posted December 8, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 8, 2021 I have removed the Pokemon forum, and merged it to Magic: The Gathering, and added Trading Card Games. So, these are all in one forum. If I didn't do this, we would have too many sub forums. Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon and Trading Cards Games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
