Trading post???

[irvgotti452]

post limit requirements before you can make trade threads? etc.

This would just lead to semi-pointless posting to boost the score.

In my experience that doesn't really happen as often as you'd expect. It'd weed out a lot of folks trying to create accounts just to spam their crap on the trading board. The fact that they have to make say, 15-30 posts beforehand would deter a lot of them to begin with.

How about the level of contribution? Just by logging in you see who are regular contributors, whether they be covers, scans, info etc.

"level of contribution" isn't necessarily quantifiable.

post counts aren't perfect but it works better than a free-for-all.

Just an idea, but why not trade through a site like GameTZ? But so we know who is who from here, have a thread with links to Cover Project members' GameTZ pages, if they have them. Just all of the links in the first post, and following posts could be members announcing when they have something new available for trade? Or something like that. But that's just an idea.

yeah that's kinda another reason why I'm iffy about this. TheCoverProject is loosely affiliated with several other gaming websites, almost all of which have trading boards of their own. CheapAssGamer comes to mind.

I say we deserve our own. I don't go on CAG or anywhere else 

[shenske]

I agree with z0mbiew0lf, we should have our own trading board. This is really the only forum I am active in

I have both, I would be interessted in NES, SNES, N64 or PS3 games, do you have a backloggery?

[irvgotti452]

The one I'm looking for is the combo cart that has both in 1. And yea let me put it together ill have it up a little later on

[AppleQueso]

I've got that cart but you can't have it 

[juan0tron]

Nintendo-Atari-Sega-Nerd just reminded me, Backloggery's are a great idea when it comes to trading threads. Something to keep in mind

[AppleQueso]

isn't backloggery's registration disabled now?

just because someone has a game doesn't mean they're willing to trade it, and some of us don't keep our backloggery's up to date.

[thesubcon3]

I am down to trade as well. We should have a standard backloggery style site that we can use with games we are willing to trade only on it.

[juan0tron]

If anything we can create profiles specifically designed to list games we are willing to trade, and even use the wishlist feature. There might be better sites for this though, I'm just not aware of them. I just assumed the Backloggery would be a good idea since I always direct people towards it to get a good idea of my collection, as I keep it very up to date.

If we have a trading board, it'd be as simple as letting each user make their own trade/sale thread and linking it in their sig for future reference. That's what most boards do and it works pretty well.
