How come this site doesn't have a trader forum?

General discussion about Kanzenshuu, its content, features, contests, community, etc. This is NOT an off-topic forum!

How come this site doesn't have a trader forum?

Post by EricM » Wed Mar 14, 2007 8:01 pm

I post on a lot of computer hardware forums and almost all of them have a subforum for For Sale, For Trade, or Wanted To Buy items. It's a lot of better than dealing with idiot bidders and slimeball sellers on ebay. Everyone you deal with probably just as anal as you when it comes to taking care of items, shipping, etc. And no one tries to rip you off. It's great.

How come this forum doesn't have anything like that?

Probably because there's lilely to be a bootleg purchase somewhere along the line and well... we don't like that.

Because I can't police it, and I'm not going to have our name associated with things I can't control.

That, and it's never occurred to anyone.

Actually, one selling forum came up a while back and went on for a few pages. As you can see, though, it's died down (probably because a bunch of the better stuff got sold already).

Yeah, there has been threads here where people wanted to sell their stuff. It's just that they don't pop up very often, which would make an entire forum devoted to it fairly pointless.

Uh... hate to break it to you, but I don't think there's such a thing as Daizenshuu #11... :?
New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!

Err, slip of the keys. I meant Daizenshuu #10, the 'TV Animation Part 3' volume.
