Ban Scalping on the Forum Poll

[timattalon]

It is interesting that a significant portion of the posters in this thread think that scalping is a fair practice. As mentioned earlier, Buyer Beware.

I've bought some boots once, through this board and I was satisfied that the seller was genuine, and the price good.

Now I've seen, how many think, it's OK to scalp, I will not buy from or through this board again.

(Excepting the one seller who's demonstrated value and honesty)

There's a reason that Trademe vets it's members so thoroughly.

I might be getting old and stupid, hankering for the days when men had honour, and women were glad of it, but I've never seen so many folk. that think a little, or a lot, of dishonesty is a virtue.

Have at it.

@MarkN I have read through the posts a second time. I do not think anyone truely agrees with scalping being acceptable or fair practise. I certainly do not think scalping is acceptable. My opinion to disagree with a ban are for practicality reasons- I dont see much if any scalping on here. So addressing it with a ban would be like Labour banning the use of full auto rifles....

In all honesty, if we saw an increase in scalping on here, I suspect the entire buy / sell would disappear rather than have the Mods select what is fair and not......
