Selling stuff?

I've seen lots of problems with people doing that kind of thing on the vogue forum. And it's not just people that are newbies either. Some girl that had a 2000 post count and had been on the boards for 18 months ripped off about 6 members. I'm so paranoid about online buying anyway though. I would hate to see someone get ripped off on here, it would really change the boards.
 
No I actually mean a thread on here not another forum. Also on ********* and btvsfigs there is always problems.
 
Yeah but then we don't have them here.

Although, just as a side note, IF it were a "given" that if you wanted to sell things you went there, there could still end up with divides on the board if/when something went wrong. Still, it probably wouldn't be as MUCH as if it were here, but still.
There is a way to do private auctions, I had thought that maybe a thread that just linked to a private eBay auction might work, at least for the bulk of the issues, but then there could still be problems here if something went wrong.

I don't know, the whole thing just scares me. But, I get all Momma Bear about stuff. The whole thing just kinda seems like the underaged people are the ones that will bear the brunt of the things that could go wrong. Buying or selling without permission, angry parents, giving out addresses, getting "taken" if someone says they sent money or says the item never arrived. The little things that can go wrong and will they know what to do when matched up against someone who KNOWS how it works?
I keep imagining my daughter selling off her Buffy Collection (or mine) to get money for a tattoo or something and me coming in one day and saying, "Where did you get the money? Where is Puppet Spike?"

You're becoming more and more of a Joyce everyday.

I would never buy anything or sell anything so I don't have to worry about that and I don't particularly care who likes and dislikes each other on this board BUT what I do mind is 50 new threads selling something because I do my search through 'New Posts'.

IF there really is a need for people to sell stuff, if its on AD, I don't have an issue at all.

Well, if only all it took to sway a mod to my skewed view was my irrational parenting fears all the time!
I'd be able to take over the board in NO TIME!

Wanna hear my long list of irrational fears as to what will happen if I can't stop my niece from talking my daughter into thinking she's not pretty if she doesn't have fake fingernails?
 
so is the consensus no then? I still dont see the answer. The reason im asking is I actually have a bunch of 1st ed. comics and Boxsets that i want to unload. I sell quite a bit on ebay but with ebay taking about 10% of your money, and preferring to sell away from them. So my question is can i start a thread?
