a recent thread by Figurator has made me think of something that could be added too this site:
I might open up a section on the site for the sole purpose of trading for individuals and possibly companies like Pegaso who have shown an interest in this site, this would also be open to people who can produce their own figures and garage kits. Even if you are a regular to ebay and have a regular trading account then again i wouldn't have a problem with people advertising on here either.
I realise that there is the whole question of selling true originals as opposed to recasts but again this is something i would greatly appreciate input on.
At the moment i can't really do much since i'm out of the country but i can test the waters so if you are interested or would like to put your thoughts and opinions forward, now is the time.

I like the idea of having this, though I wouldnt recommend allowing advertisements unless theyre a reputible company. Ive seen other sites flood with false advertisements and repoffs when this is allowed. especially recasters

Yeah I agree with Mr F. You dont want to attract the wrong sort of business and end up being closed down or prosecuted by the Bottom Inspectors! Where would we all go? I like it here  |

Sounds interesting. I'm not sure how to set it up but you can get some ideas from the club house.

At the moment i am thinking along the lines of 2 catagories, one for small time sellers and people wanting to sell some of their figures privately to other members too earn some cash or even to announce open sales on ebay.
The other for larger companies too promote new figures that are about to be launched on the market. This second catagory would also cover the garage kit industry so that small scale businesses could promote their garage kits here as well.
Recasters would be banned, i don't want this to become a ebay dumping ground for recasters, if someone comes on here and is a know recast trader then they will be removed. Anyone selling recasts who is trading not for business but for the sole purpose of lowering their current stash of figures could sell on a recast but it would have to be declared that such a kit is a copy and i would set a limit too trading of single recasts in order too stop this site being a back door for illegal copies!
As always, thoughts and opinions are welcome!

I like the idea ;D Been going crazy trying to find reputable figures, or even links that aren't dead. Figure that if it is a recaster, they can get shot down here, helping keep the good guys in bussiness (and preserving our hard earned mula . |

Behind you 95% PM but the recasting thing will take a lot of policing to keep the faith. Remember cheap is tempting and temptation leads to the dark side! ;D But seriously I think you have the balance close to right.  K P. S. Luka's wares are so tempting me to turn My CredCd to the dark side! |

Agreed. Sounds like a plan PM. As far as re-casters, can we simply draw and quarter them? I hear that was real popular in your neck of the woods once upon a time. LOL.

Crazy? They're coming to take me away, away! They're coming to take me away. To the funny farm.... OOPS, sorry. I get that way now and again. Better not to get me started on the do-gooders.
