    I voted ‘no’.

    Why? - because if the price was too high people wouldn’t buy.

    If a buyer relists something on here that they had bought on here I would expect the original seller to speak up, likewise if on RetardMe.

    I’ve bought quite a few things on here, the prices were fair and good. If they had been cheaper of course I would have rubbed my hands in glee - but nobody was asking more than I thought was a fair price - in fact just about all were better than fair price.

    An item that's in high demand/low supply always results in exorbitant prices.

    There have been times where i've had to literally bite the bullet and pay a lot more than I have had to in the past - but i've been very glad to have had the opportunity here to do so!

    I know those members could have got a lot more on Trade me.

    It's part of the reloading game and typically comes around on a 3 year cycle. That's life get used to it.

    Lol, don't be ridiculous, who gets to decide what is and isn't too much? Answer, the seller decides what's right for him to part with ownership, and the buyer decides if it's worth that to him.

    Maybe we should also have the opposite control as well.
    If someone is offering to sell at a, seemingly to cheap price, the admins should step in and ban them.
    Just think of the ramifications for @BRADS and @Ryan_Songhurst, they wouldn't sell anything, and be banned for it as well

    For me - a seller giving a accurate discription, a offered price, a buyer saying yes I'll pay that. A deal done.

    at end of day the buyer decides what they willing to pay.....if you just happen to look in cupboard and discover two pottles of unicorn turds and someone willing to pay what ever price to have them....where is problem???
    if however you bought off here from another forum member and then jacked price up to resell...or WORSE STILL and in my eye the ultimate insult were given something by member and then sell it on...well thats just a shit house thing to do...no law against it...but its a shit house way to behave .
    in past Ive been lucky enough to be gifted some neat things,if no longer needed I consult the gifter before moving them onwards...
    my bro in law sold us a car cheaply,for same price a mate of mine sold it to him....when we sold it we made $400 over what we paid for it...so gave bro in law $200...he thought we mad...but it just felt right.
    making a quick buck of others generosity is poor form.

    Good luck to anyone trying to make a profit on here lol , more often than not items sell at well below originally listed prices & if they don’t sell they end up on TM , we don’t need more rules the government are making enough of those for us all .

    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.

    you have mis read what has been said.......folks arent saying scalping is ok.......more that we all grown ups and if you silly enough to buy something way over priced...more fool you.
    one thing trademe has done.........its normally first port of call to see what current price for item is
    Ive seen plenty of sales on here,and thought to self...man thats cheap...very few way over priced and only one from memory with silly claims of guns ability,and it was called out as BS statement.

    @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......

    there are some fucking awesome dudes on here and I hate to think that scumbags trying to inflate prices (take advantage of peoples desperation to enrich themselves) will drive them away/replace them/come join their scumbag friends here
    tattoo parlors and bars use the same trick for not becoming the place that the white supremisists/nazi hang out
    move them on otherwise this will be the place where they all come to roost
    and then you are swimming in them because no one wants to hang out at the nazi bar
    I saw it slowly happen on the old forum where it just got more and more toxic that I stopped going to it

    plenty of ability to scalp on trademe and get screwed with fees but the listing here is free and really do you want to be encouraging more scumbag shit or less

    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.
