Then I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable with an unsold system.
 
Im new here.... but whats the deal with shipping before you pay? I have never heard of that before.... and it doesnt even make sense... Your just shipping a console to a random person and hoping they pay for it... what the...

Umm most of us have established great feedback through CAG. I for one will always ask a Newbie to ship first since he hasn't established trust with me or the whole CAG community.

Feedback=Virtual Trust=Gooood!

Well if that's the case then I just get more on eBay for it. I can't anyone would ship first without pay. Neither Amazon or eBay work under those crazy conditions.

This is true however we are not amazon or ebay and therefor do not have the protective measures and/or staff to handle problems when they arise.

The trade forum here is its own unique entity. If you chose to take part, you agree to the rules. If you dont care for the rules, go to ebay.

And please dont crap on how we do things here. Its obvious you've not really been much a part of our community so you really have no way of knowing what works and what doesnt and whats "crazy" and whats not. For the most part we are a very trustworthy community. Id say the bulk of the problems we have had werent established vets ripping off noobs, but noobs peddling fake wares then disappearing as soon as they got paid (what loss is there to a guy whos not been here long if hes banned for theft?) Thats why, even if you are legit, you are seen in a different light than someone with lots of feedback. Dont blame us, blame the a-holes who ripped off other CAGers before you ever came here.
 
just sell it off ebay...askin someone to ship a 20 dollar game/dvd before payment is one thing...300 dollars for psp etc is something completely different.....thx for trying to hook up some cag out there...but just ebay the lot and make more anyway

btw I'd give $20 for Lumines
 
Consider it like this: Even though you are selling it, you are basically trading cash for a product. Whoever has the most feedback sends the thing they are trading first. You are not a retailer so the rules are not the same, the payer does not always pay first. It actually makes tons of sense. There is a much better chance that a brand new person will take the pay pal and run instead of an established poster and trader taking your PSP and facing the community.
 
see the problem with what you say is that you assume people care about havin' 1000 posts here etc etc....that doesn't mean crap to some people....ie myself...i've been a regular here for about a year...read every day, but still only have say 20 posts....i could care less...some on this board think just b/c they have lots of posts that it earns them some respect or something...

No one in the trading board is judged by their posts. They're judged by their trading experience. I don't give a shit if someone has 10000 posts, if he has 0 feedback, he's sending first.

If everyone insisted on payments first, I can just go to one board, pretend to sell something and scam someone. And if it works I can just move on to another board and start the scam all over again.

Exactly. Also, say someone was going to trade you something worth the price of your PSP and had over 15 or 20 feedback on this site, would you still expect them to send first? I really don't see the difference between selling and trading when it comes to two individual people.
 
Woah okay.... Thanks for answering the question. I see what you mean, and In some odd way it does make sense... Just trying to understand.... i do now we can all can continue living on ;)

Thanks again
