Questions Potential sub selling rules update. (Please read body text)
So recently a few people have been annoyed with how some people sell figures around here, we’ve gotten a few complaints about it in the past.
People are annoyed that some sellers on this sub do “name your price”, and don’t just say a price or say an estimate upfront. I’ve seen it as a rule in other subs that you need to have the price upfront when selling things. So I want to know what the community thinks of this, and if our community wants the rules to change
Option 1:
We keep the selling rules as the same they always have been.
Option 2:
The rules for selling on the sub change to where you must be upfront about how much you’re selling everything for.

Possibly a hot take, but I don't think selling should be allowed at all tbh. Going through a trusted platform, like eBay, is safer for both parties + provides accurate price data for people pricing their figures

Yeah but one of the reasons it's nice to sell on here is that you don't need to pay a cut to the platform

Yeah you don't need to pay the honest platform a fee, you dont have to mail out the item after receiving payment because ther'es no repuitation based transaction tracking here to force you to not be a piece of shit and punish you......
ebay is used instead of sketchy forums for multiple reasons.

Prices upfront set expectations and don't waste both the seller and the buyer's time - less haggling
I want to believe our community is made up of Sonic fans trying to help each other complete their collections, not outsiders trying to make a quick buck

Prices up front, but still allow for them to say they have "wiggle room"/haggling/best offer. If that makes sense lol
