I’m accumulating a lot of rep and am thinking about buying member to member. This seems sketchy as it’s all based on honor system. Is there something I’m missing here? You just look at someone reputation with posts and if it looks good trust them? Just send the money to a stranger and hope for the best?
Also, if I want to sell a few reps at some point how can I convince members I’m not a scammer? I can see myself wanted to get a rid of a few down the line.

The below posts are are an excellent starting point and required reading before going anywhere near the M2M area (buying or selling)


Post 1 here contains the rules:


And post 2 has some excellent advice when buying.

Your name is your reputation on here and trust is hard earned but very easily lost, so above all be transparent & honest.

With regarding to selling, bear in mind eligibility criteria to sell. It is a privilege and one not to be abused.

Best of luck.

P.s. The vast vast majority of sales go off ok, but I almost forgot this area, which you should also check out.


This is what happens when you abuse the honor system ;)

Yes, it's based on the honor system - just like every time you buy something from an entity you don't know on the internet.

There are also protections (or at least, incentives) for honesty, and... FFS P..DR..D LET ME AT LEAST GET ONE LINK IN WITHOUT MAKING MY POST A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME...

Too late. OP go check out that Brig link he posted.

While this may all seem more or less not that concerning, be aware that it's not easy to have money already sent to the seller return to your account. You can't just go ahead and tell paypal you bought a replica after all.

Indeed, which is why there are strictly administered rules and sound advice in place, and Mods approving and monitoring every sale.

Hmmmm… doubt you are but, if so, you played at a couple of high school parties at my house. My mom caught Eddie peeing in her fountain! LOL.

Sadly I'm not David Lee Roth but I am a studio musician/sideman in NYC and perform with people you probably know of.

Better for you. My buddies and I used to make fun of him doing costume changes at high school parties. Even throwing cherry tomatoes at him on stage. LOL I got along with Alex and Eddie but Dave…not so much.
