From prior discussions with him, this is a touchy subject. It's not only the possible loss of sales, it's also web server traffic/storage/etc on something he doesn't benefit from. And then there's always the deal that goes sour and then you have flaming, etc. Pretty much more trouble than it's worth. And what about the people who sign up just to sell their stuff. These forums were intended as a means of first-level support for RCM products and all the other stuff detracts from that. Obviously, it as also become a hang out as well, but that's innocent enough.

However, I personally tend to agree with you somewhat. Maybe he could set something up where he gets a certain % of the sale item, but then again, he'd have to be the middle man somewhat, and he's probably busy enough, lol. And, what happens when the seller doesn't follow through? He'd have to refund his %. Too much trouble.

One thing I'd change though is to be able to post the price in the post (I never understood that rule), but then keep the rest of the transaction handled via PM only.

I assume you ask this so that you could maybe sell your awesome shells here? Since those aren't your typical "used" items and it is a pretty focused category, maybe you could work with him to have your stuff listed actually in the store, and work out the commission details.
