POLL: To add a new rule to the Forum Marketplace

Poll to see if a new rule needs to be added to the Forum Marketplace  

161 members have voted

  1. 1. Does a new Marketplace rule need to be added regarding consignments and/or whether the seller has physical possession of the book being sold?

    • Yes.  A seller ALWAYS needs to disclose if he's selling a book on consignment AND must also note if they physically have the book in their possession or not.
      54
    • Yes.  But a seller ONLY needs to disclose they're selling a book on consignment if they do not have the book in their possession.
      11
    • Yes.  The seller does not need to disclose if the book is a consignment or not.  But they must ALWAYS disclose when they do not currently have the book in their possession.
      29
    • Yes. But it should simply be against the rules to post books for sale that are not in the sellers possession. This includes, but is not limited to, "consignments" or books that are "on their way back from CGC".
      34
    • No.  A new rule does not need to be added.

Ehhh, I guess it doesn't really matter at this point. The book that started all this is back up for sale, with no disclosure of it being a consigned book. (assuming it is since the same pictures are being used, and no mention of it being in-hand or not - and given the discussion around it, you'd probably mention it).

I feel sorry for the person who buys from a dealer who's integrity is bought for a 10% consignment fee. :facepalm:
