Maybe we could have a Buy/Sell/Trade section of the forums. I know yoyonation has one but it seems to be very popular and people seem to like it. What do you guys think?

I've already thought about this, and my answer is--no.

Whilst I do not have any authority about this, I would have to say that this shouldnt be allowed. First off, there arent really enough members to do this, and second, I dont want this to happen, due to scammers.

To illustrate my point, YYN has had a lot of scammers in the past, and this always led to unhappy people, and a blow to the structural foundation of the community. I dont want to see YYE take the same downfall YYN has been going through.

YYE is my getaway place when the people at YYN are being...well, jerks. This has become my favorite forum, and i dont want to see its members poisoned against one another.

Please André, dont do this.

P.S: I believe there is a section like this in the chat. Also, if you want to trade yoyos so much, please do so on YYN.

I realized the exact same thing very soon after making this thread, I too disagree with it. Yes, I disagree with my own idea.

Ok, I think that there should be a modding station but It would be cool to be able to trade yoyo's but yes people would scam, not to call anyone a scammer just that some people can get greedy. (me)

I don't think we should have one on another forum I am a part of but never really go on anymore had this and not that many people used it and It's hard to make the deals Sad

Scamming is a fact of life.  While I do agree that we might want to keep that element away from this forum, life is full of scammers.  It just something that honest people have to learn to be wary of.  It's a sad fact of life that you probably should assume that most other people want your stuff and will do anything to get it...

All that said, I really like looking through the trade section at YYN and wouldn't mind seeing it here.

My vote is - no. Maybe as time goes on and there are more members and the forum gets larger. but at the moment it wouldnt be very active.
The only reason why the BST on YYN is so popular is because they have just over 4000 members.

Now, now. Don't be so hasty.

I wouldn't mind a BST-type deal here, as I'm scared to the point of tears to trade on YYN. WAY too many horror stories over there.

At least we all know each other here.

I know you're never going to be able to eliminate all scamming, but maybe the benefits outweigh the occasional headache?
