If it does get added, I don't reccomend that anyone ever suggests that deals get done through here. Possibly it could work if you used a well known sales site like Ebay to sell the item and posted it here to peek peoples interest. The problem i'm seeing is that if you center the sales here, you could attract scammers and such, and no one wants that happening.

I don't know how to personally prevent this, but it's something to keep it mind, don't just use this forum for transactions!
We'd have a feedback section and a trusted sellers list to prevent fraud. :)
Thats the thing, it will not prevent fraud. It will note past happenings of theft and fraud. I just don't think its a safe idea for people to be trusted to go through with a transaction just because they said they would on some forum.

The section for sales is a good idea and all, as long as it's not the primary place where the transaction is settled, at least make sure people actually sell the object using a truted site such as ebay (cant think of other examples) so you can at least be a slight bit more assured that you will not be ripped off on either end.

That sounds great. This will sound kind of geeky but, I love when I find a community that's willing to "help" one another.

Hi, I have a game for sale now. It's Saga Frontier for PSOne, I'm welling to trade it for a good deal (I'm looking for some specifics games). I'm a current seller on a website like Amazon with 100% good feedback. PM me if you're interested about this game, I'll be glad to respond you as soon as possible.

Description of the condition of the game : It's not an original case, it's a plastic one from a video club. There is no artworks, no instructions. The disc is in very good condition, there are superficials scratchs on the disc. A 5mm scratch is at the end of the disc which is not affecting the gameplay and not seem to be serious at all. There is a kind of transparant round sticker of the same size of the disc which display the name of the video club on the top. And one small bar code of the video club which is on this CD-size sticker. I prefer to send you the picture of the game before selling you, to be sure you know the exact condition of the game.

I tested all my games before selling them and this one worked perfectly. I do not charge the shipping cost and I ship the game in envelop with air bubbles everywhere in Canada (minimum 3 days to receive the game via Canada Post)

Thank you for your time !

yeah, I do a fair bit on eBay. I've got an old Tandy home console that I want to shift, but I want it to go to a good home. I don't know if it's worth anything so... Anyone interested?

This thought just came to mind, so I decided to post and see what everyone else thinks. A Buy/Sell/Trade board where collectors and non collectors can buy, sell and trade video games. Say for example I have two copies of Donkey Kong Country, and I want to get rid of one. I post on the BST board and ask if anyone is in need of it. Billy Bob says yeah, I need that game, and I'll trade you my extra copy of Mario Kart for it. Billy Bob and I have both been here at the forums for awhile, so everyone knows we're reliable. We each ship the games and PM each other the tracking codes for the packages, our games arrive, and we are happy!

I really think this could be something we could take advantage of. It would be good because maybe I buy a lot of games off of Craigslist, and I wind up with some duplicates. I could sell them on eBay, or I could offer them here first to my fellow forum members and collectors.
are you happy now haha
