What all needs to happen in order for a newer member to buy/sell/trade on the forums? I have a couple games I'm looking to either sell or trade for other games, and i'd much rather they go to people on here than some random on ebay, or where they'll sit on ebay for several months with people just looking at them.. I don't want to seem impatient, but I really want to sell or trade these games and time is a factor.. Let me know, and thanks!

Locking the market down was a bad call.

I have mixed feelings about this. If it was an open free for all it would be a cesspool of shitty resellers and collectors like the FB groups, instead of a spot for people who are here for other reasons to trade with each other. I might be up for opening it back up under the condition that regulars can shit all over posters and threads that are straight up retarded in the genuine NG.com way.

If it gave us some fresh blood to drink it would be worth every flip

I dunno, I seem to remember a bit of drama back in the olden days.

If anything it would just require a tad more vigilance.

What was wrong with the way it was before? It was lively and, frankly, a big reason why a lot of people came here. Of course the membership here always did moderate what happened in the market to an extent. Of course there was a bit of drama, but has any section of this forum ever been drama free?

At this point though, the damage is probably done for good.

We should do a poll about this.

If you're making changes, can you fix the feedback system? All the feedback scores have been frozen since the forum software change. Roker finally got a positive feedback after 20 years and the poor bastard still has a zero feedback score.

Much of which I can appreciate, really I can. However, it was decided a long time a go that in the interests of preserving some integrity to the marketplace (which had become something of a wild west) only active community memebers would have the privlidge of using the marketplace.

You may well be a stand up guy, but you're not an active community member, so no market access for you. That's not me being funny, that's a fact. Sorry.

You'll need to use either eBay or FB - or if you're close to an active member who has a good sellers rep, use them as a third party.

Asking $250 (or best reasonable offer) + shipping 500gb slim with Destiny Collection, Red Dead Redemption II, Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite and Dark Souls III. DS3 was a used purchase from Gaymstop so it has a generic case. Console is in perfect (if a little dusty) condition. Does not sound like...
