well.... the thing that happened to me with cryzl44r.. or what ever his sn is.... he had a high post.... 200, and he'd been on for a while... actualy selling and buying stuff.... so i realy coudlnt' tell that way.....

i realy like the ebay post idea.... but i have a feeling that that could go south as well... with lots of spammers etc

if there was a way for the mods create a seperate auction forum... so that there would be 2 of them and only long time members can start a threat in one..... 1 for people with a good feeback or have been around ..... and one for people who have only been on for 3 months or 300 posts......
so there would be a kind of ... lower class and upper class stores

i dunno... take that and run with it
