Hey,
first time poster, long time ("long time") visitor.
I know there are sites like dakkadakka and bartertown, but I was wondering since this isn't an official PP forum, would or could there be a Buy Sell Swap section? Thoughts?

There was a suggestion like this at the start of Lormahordes. I believe the answer was that the legal means of trading and posting would be too complicated.

Thanks for the answer. I suppose that makes sense.

I haven't looked at the past threads about it so I'm shooting from the hip here, but why not just start a sales thread? There isn't anything in the forum rules prohibiting it.

I believe you are correct. something about no infrastructure in place to protect people from scams and whatnot.

I believe you are correct. something about no infrastructure in place to protect people from scams and whatnot. This pretty exactly. We would rather defer to places like bartertown that have done a good job of regulating chumps and facilitating good and fair exchanges. |

Hell no!!!
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Allow me to rephrase that:
FFFFFFFF-----UCK NO!!!
While the idea of a buy / sell / trade section here on this site sounds like an innocuous idea, I could not disagree more. It is a recipe for disaster. Period.
The idea that "Hey, we're all Warmahordes players, we would never steal from each other," will blow up in your face like a Conquest hitting you with its Main Guns with a critical hit. After that starts the yelling, screaming, finger pointing, threats, counter-threats to call the USPS for postal fraud, and then the eventual fracturing of this community. Since this is online, that's a lot of posts written in all capital letters.
You want to trade? Go to Bartertown. A lot of us are already on Bartertown. The more, the better.
We don't want to have a trade forums here. Just back away from that campfire kids...
