Re: I love to get a good deal on bats but...

If you see that happening, report it here. Its against forum rules to sell the same item in 2 places at once.

To Billy and Vintage what is wrong with that to begin with?

Also to Vintage is that aginst forum rules? I will have to read ovr them again and if it is that doesn't make sense.

What's wrong with listing an item more than one place??? Since when if you list an item, you can only list it with GUU?

I just read over all the forum rules and not once does it mention a rule like this.

Ok I didnt see that post.

Doesn't make sense why you wouldn't be able to post here and somewhere else. Also how long does that rule stand for? meaning if I posted an item on ebay lets say for example in the Ebay Store and have it running for a month or a couple of months and no bite. At what point can I list it here?

My guess is when you remove it from the store.

It is best to read the User Agreement on the Collector to Collector section.

Two main point are:

It is not intended for dealers, businesses or professional teams looking to sell their merchandise otherwise.

This forum is not for posting items that are currently for sale on eBay or any other venue.

If it's in an Ebay Store it is part of a business.

Speaking personally, if we opened it up to ebay items everyone who has a game used item for sale on Ebay would sign up in the forum and post it in the C2C section which would make it congested and the C2C is based on trust among active forum members which is not the case with new members.

I see nothing wrong with reselling for a profit. This is how I pay for part of my collection and I know many other collectors who do that as well. When you can find a way for your hobby to pay for itself, then you're doing your pocketbook (and relationship with your wife) a favor. Yeah, some people are reselling just for profit/business and I applaud the fact they can turn a profit. The only thing that could sour the situation is selling an item too low and not realizing that until it's sold again for a higher price. Yep - win some, lose some.

I personally don't see anything wrong with buying and reselling for profit. It's what I do for a living right now. I buy and resell camera lenses on eBay. Being a full-time student, I don't have the time for a job, and really I don't even want a job. I know a lot about camera equipment though so I find great deals and have them back up on eBay by the following week for say $100 more (or whatever the price is that the specific lens sells for). I use the profit money for my every-day needs and also for buying new stuff for my collection, as well as new camera equipment for myself. Reselling for profit is sometimes the only thing people can do to make money for themselves. I know it's all I can do and it does bring in a lot of money for me when I work long enough to find deals. So even though I hate to see prices jump up on things that were sold just a week ago for a few hundred less, I understand that it's just part of the industry, and if it sells, then good for them.

Responding to the highlighted statements first as they all coincide with each other really.
I am understand not wanting to open it up to Dealers, Teams etc..... but just because you have a "Ebay Store" doesn't automaically make you a business. Not in my opinion. I am not sure what the exact requirements are to have an "Ebay Store" but I do believe a lot of people open those because if you have a lot of tiems your looking to move / get rid of, I believe Ebay offers deals/discounts to doing it through there ebay store.


As to your other comment I don't think it would just automatically attract people to over night spaming sale items on this site. Because they would have to know about the site first to begin with.

It really is no different then it was a year ot 2 ago when people would list items in the for sale section with a link to there ebay auction
