<p>[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 647817, member: 4230"]auctions and classifieds would be great - but it would ruin the entire thing if numismatic related things were NOT the only items allowed to be listed! I personaly like how its runs now. An auction style format 'might' be a good idea .. but i can easily see it ruined by the bad apples that lurk around every corner! Those folks who would join, just to post the fakes they want to sell for big money. Like Ebay, there would have to be a way to report a suspected item ... but like Ebay, potential buyers would want a respected and reputible person on the side of judging if the item is real. bagging a legit listing would cause bitter sentiment, as would not bagging an obvious fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would love an auction style format .. i love trying to find a bargain ... but i think with cointalk being 1 of the largest coin and paer money forums out there - and quite possibly the best ... an auction type format could easily turn into an Ebay.

Not alot of money to join and support the site, and it would be a perk for the supporting members. just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
