    I would say that limit pricing on reloading items to highest retail pricing to try control pricing.

    I would personally like to see a single warning to any member scalping on this forum. And then a ban or an instant ban for low post count accounts that are not contributing and only come here to use the buy sell threads for free.
    Let them do what they want i say.
    Buf it does fuck me off when I offer a great deal somone buys it then you see it on trade me for $500 more the next day, it only fucks me as they clearly never wanted it and some other forum member missed out on a great deal.
    Lesson I no longer sell to those people.

    Cheers Brad thanks for showing some people how to disagree with respects.

    I partially agree and I just proposed the change as I cringe at the semi immoral posts too. I'm not like this government etc in that I actually asked people I didn't just change it and ignore what people think I just thought of a potential solution and posted it. I'm actually starting to agree that maybe our self policing is pretty good and why go further but the suggestion was made and I don't regret making it.

    I've also brought a few items not quite as described including one that also had to be warrantied before I could use it that member has posts in this thread in support of scalping.

    I've seen items snapped up off here end up on trademe within a week at double the price.
    I've stopped replying to this post for the most part as all I did was make a suggestion debate my side which many people disagree with obviously which is alright. But there's a brigade of men with there heads up there arses that believe that all change is bad and instantly react to any change or proposal of a change in a toxic manner. I appreciate when someone disagrees with me and does so with some level of respect but when comments like "a bunch of homos" pop up. These same people bitch about the forum being ruined but seriously need to look in the mirror as they are just doing exactly what all the "leftys" they so hate are doing but the other way around. It's not that hard to disagree and not be a c@*t.

    To all those that don't care that's fine I don't mind it was just a suggestion I didn't think it would be that hard as we already self police fairly well in terms of new members just using buy sell or people asking stupid prices.

    Cheers posts like yours helping out members with better deals are kind of what I was aiming to protect with the idea not restrict the other members that have taken this as a personal attack on there rights.

    Anyway I'm back out on this thread again unless it calms to a semi reasonable discussion.
