Title: One feature that SR needs...
Post by: stinkybuns on April 21, 2013, 04:48 am
This will be a bit of a contentious issue, fraught with obvious problems, but...   What SR needs is a way for trusted buyers to privately sell things to other users.  As an example, I have all sorts of little baggies of reagents that I no longer want to dabble in.  Things that I don't have the means to sell to anyone I know.  What I would like to do is put it all together in one lot, and then sell it for bitcoins right here on the forum.  I am not looking to be a vendor, just looking to get rid of some stuff.

I know there are issues.  There is no real connection between SR and these forums, there is no safety or escrow or anything else in place for the kind of thing I am talking about.  But I do have my standing as a buyer on SR as leverage, my honor to put on the line. 

Has there been anything like this out there?  obviously selling to a vendor would be ideal but of course they would be foolish to expose their mailing address like that.  The site itself needs a modest little 'mini vendor'  section where something like this would be possible.

 "But I do have my standing as a buyer on SR as leverage, my honor to put on the line."

And also the ability to then disappear.
 
Good standing or not i don't think that would happen in the forums.

I didn't say it would be easy.  but...   surely there is a place for men with honor in this world.

yes but you are looking just in the wrong place, in fact the worst place.
Quite a percentage are junkies, what do you expect from them ?
A junk with honor, they would steal from their mother.
The only thing why - many- buyers are pretending to be honest is that they need good stats or they cannot even buy....not because they are honest!!
The vendors only reason for a good business is that he is honest, I think almost no vendor will open an account with the idea to scam.
Not so sure about -some- buyers  ???

Vendor's have to shell out $500 to get the privilege of selling on SR. If what you are suggesting happened, it would completely undermine and devalue the vendor privileges. In a nut shell, I don't think it will ever happen.

Just my 2 cents...
