personally i think that trading on the internet is just like anything else in life sometimes you get robbed other times it goes perfectly good example i wanted a pocket watch very specific one i found it they had posted photo and i got to buy it needless to say it was the wrong one wen i complained they accused me of lying and then said fine send it back however we cant completely forget the internet for trading money or items because if we did certain things would be forever out of our reach due to financial reasons as well as social climate a prime example is if person a) cant afford to go on vacation to a place or convention but wants something he has two options order it online, or wait and hope they come near him however its all about supply and demand if town a few residential areas and more commercial areas bands are less likely to play there while certain conventions might avoid there altogether because there are few people who like that topic. too good to be true probably is.

ixlikextrainsxkid, thanks for the concern. I haven't gotten a great deal of crap yet, but I felt like I had to do something after a nasty email I received yesterday. I am definitely not going to allow public trading questions, because allowing those makes it seem like I am encouraging trades. But at this point I'm not planning on watching everyone's messages. That would be a huge task and would feel like an invasion of privacy. Plus, I don't mind people trading on here as long as they're allowed to (old enough or have parental permission) and follow through with their trades. The tough part is knowing what to do with scammers. I feel like even if I'm not supporting trades, scammers shouldn't be allowed on here. But if I take action against scammers, it seems like I'm moderating trades, which makes it seem like I'm encouraging trades. Do you understand my dilemma? Lol.
