Policy on offering things for sale (eBay or direct)

[Anastasios]

Hello, friends! I am in the process of selling some of my comic collection--duplicates I have acquired over the years. Here and there, I will be listing them on my eBay profile, listed in my signature. That being said, I would also like to sell what I have to people who will appreciate it, rather than just re-sellers; this might include offering things here on the forum before listing them on eBay.

On other forums I frequent--indeed, on a forum I myself own--it is frowned upon to offer things for sale. No one wants a forum to be overtaken by commercial pursuits.

What is the policy of this forum? I've included a link to my eBay profile in my signature; is that ok?

May I post occasionally (once a month?) about specific offerings, directly, before I post them on eBay, for private negotiation, but releasing this forum from any liability via an explicit statement?

I'll understand if the answer is no to either of the above, but I just want to reiterate that my goal is to offer a chance to the community to buy what I am selling up front, rather than putting it on eBay for people who are possibly not fans to scarf up for potential resale, without regard for those who might like to have the editions, but can't pay the inflated prices that resellers often offer.

Thanks!

I think The KKM should definitely reply to your question. Why not even have a dedicated marketplace section on the forum?

If there's demand. For now I think a thread on the general area works.

Thank you, KMM, for the approval, and I will make sure not to abuse the privilege by spamming the forum. I will keep my posts limited in number and only in the existing thread in the Lounge.

Much obliged,
Anastasios
