On the need for buyer/seller feedback

[blues]

Doesn’t really work unless everybody does it.

On another (non-gun) forum I was on, they had a B/S/T Karma count, but I only got tagged for about 1/3 of my deals. That was a common complaint, that nobody used it as intended.

It was still all 100% positive, but only showed a fraction of my dealings.

Same on bladeforums. Sometimes the transactions weren't recorded by buyer or seller. Other times they were arranged via private message. I sold a couple of Bose knives that way, and it was strictly between me and the purchaser.

I don’t know many forums but I think few to none have a section called Karma that is just folks giving stuff to each other.

I’m gonna go with this.

Plus, all the stuff that gets passed around without ever getting posted.

I don't think we need it, and if we do, it'll be time for me to peace out and move on.

I opened an account her just about 7 years ago, and it continues to amaze me this place seems to stay in the geek stage.

Mods here are the shit.

Thanks for that article - I'm going to pass that around.

Let me know next time y’all are headed this way. Sushi’s on me.

Been there, done that, and been involved with someone scamming someone else outta $2500. I was the buyer of a scammed product. PayPal, police, and the forum all got involved. All parties had positive feedback until then. While I love the idea, and it works better for eBay and forums that are massive, it's not flawless and your very first sale might be the one where someone decides to play games. You're not better or worse off, so scrap all the extra work.
