Improvements on Autographs For Sale/Exchange

[jdp3577]

the best system I can think of is to close it down, this forum isnt really set up to be a trading forum, so yes theres going to be ripoffs.

other then that, the best idea Ive heard is posting pics of what your selling is the #1 requirment (its a lot easier to rip off a 12 year old by sending the pic in a pm then it is posting the pic for everyone to see and judge)

The Middle Man, I was afraid that's what you were talking about, Not only would this person be responsible for opening both parties mail ( to check what both parties have sent)they would inturn be responsible for repackaging payments or items and then sending them to the respective parties. Your talking about extra postage and materials(envelopes) and that would be insane. As far as the JM I'm talking about quite honestly it's is a no brainer, However unfortunately living in the U.K he himself has said in posts that he is not familiar with some of the material collected here in the U.S.. So it should actually be two people( Not necessarily moderators) that have the knowledge, one from the U.K and one from the U.S.

I personally think that the middle man idea would just complicate things for the reasons that whosurdaddy explained. The JM is obviously Andy. Hey Andy, I never knew that you were from the UK! I guess that that would explain why you have so many footballers autographs. Who do you have in mind from the US?

How does giving admin your contact info prove that you are trustworthy?

Honestly I do not know, maybe just to make sure you are not giving out a false address?
