Well said.
We all are big boys and girls, and there are no guarantees in life.
I for one welcome new members here who have something to sell, or are here looking for something to buy....if they contribute beyond that...great...and if they do not, that is fine too.

Regarding selling "It"
I understand none of you guys know who I am, that's why I'm offering pictures to prove I'm not just running a scam.
It's kind of a long story how I ended up with one of these. I'm not sure if I posted about this here, I thought it was on a different Stephen King message board but now I can't find it so maybe it was here, anyway about a year and a half ago I discovered I had a partially finished manuscript that Stephen King sent me in the mail as a gift after I met him through the Make-A-Wish Foundation when I was 13 years old (this is back in 1987 or so). It was called "Phil and Sundance", and it was this trippy story about little people living in a suburban neighborhood that this kid discovers. Anyway when I discovered I still had this crazy piece of a collector's item I thought I'd try selling it online, but Cemetery Dance ended up contacting me and trading one of those "It"s for it instead. I'm now realizing I may have gotten somewhat of the short end of the stick by getting one of the PC copies instead of a unique lettered edition, not to mention I could have probably made MUCH more money selling it to a collector, but I guess Mr. King himself preferred that they have control over it rather than some random person so I decided to just go with that. I'm selling it just because I need to raise some money, so maybe hearing this story gives me a little street cred.
I agree. Let the buyer beware.Nope. A new member offering a book doesn't hurt anyone. Just don't buy from someone you don't know if you don't like the risk - there's no need to lock people out. Besides, new buyers would be locked out too.

I'll second that sentiment. Welcome to the site!!!!It is certainly permissible. It is simply advisable to interact here for a while prior to posting items for sale, so members get to know you a little first.
Welcome to the site.

I agree 100%. I also think it is a good thing to have fresh items perhaps for sale here. The talk about locking people out is...troubling.
I am not advocating locking people out per se, I am suggesting that the privilege of being able to sell items on this thread should be earned through contribution and built up trust. Having a minimum of 100 posts built through continued contribution is a good thing, both for the site and to protect fellow members.I agree 100%.

Yes, we are all big boys and girls, and there are no guarantees in life - but why perpetuate the risk of being burned?
The topic of new members trying to sell items on their first post has been brought up before...
Remember the infamous Jackpoint and his copy of Rage?
This was RF's response on that matter:

I'm in no way suggesting I speak for RF, but I believe his initial comments were more around being able to sell here for free, and that being a bit of an issue especially for people who only come here to sell out of the blue before offering anything else to the site (comments, opinions etc).
It sounded to me as though we may be heading towards a cost to do business here as opposed to restricting who can sell/buy. Not sure how that would be enforced here if that is the case however...
But that is all speculation from my perception of what I've read here lately, and so I guess we will just have to wait and see what, if anything, RF has planned.
Oh yeah: For sale
- UK s/l WTTK
- UK s/l Dr Sleep
$1000 for both plus shipping.
I recommend that if continuing discussion is warranted, that we start a NEW THREAD.
Any posts directly related to the intent of the current thread (ie items listed for sale), will continue to be further buried by the discussion.
Just a suggestion.
My two cents on this are that, whoever comes here to sell, should try to present themselves and be 'polite', and not just say, from their very first post : selling this, here is a link, and that, here is a link, etc (which is, for me, always suspicious for scam / spam / malware etc).
It's not just being polite, it's also common sense : reputation is very important, especially if you want to sell several items worth hundreds of bucks, and you may have to spend more than 2 minutes in order to reassure people about your offers.

Having someone build up a reputation before selling makes perfect sense. It works the same on eBay. How likely are you to buy something from a seller who has a feedback score of zero, compared to someone who's been selling for a much longer period of time and has the feedback to back it up?
