You know, if someone is having problems locating a Hot Head in Fl but someone in Kansas finds a ton of them, working out a deal where you pay face value plus shipping to the Kansas person for the figure? Just thought I'd ask. To avoid Ebay and overpaying for figures.

thats a good idea but i think its against the rules

^Yes, those are the rules. That is a good idea though.

If you PM people with needs and work out details privately, don't see the harm in that. Anyone else have an opinion?

I think it is a good idea

I have tried multiple times and offered multiple times, no one would give me help and no one wanted mine. It is a good idea if people actually cooperate.

I think it depends where you are trading figures geographically. I don't know about post int he US but here in the UK but it should be 1-3 days for delivery. If I traded with someone in the US it might be 2-3 weeks so there is a massive element of trust here on both sides.

I traded some stuff on a well known Star Wars forum a few years ago. The guy I traded with (in the US) swore blind he had sent the stuff to me (in the UK) and when I complained that it hadn't arrived I got no help. Turns out he sent it surface mail which takes months to arrive whereas I sent mine airmail. So I got it in the end but it was a long wait.

I understand why the admin doesn't want the hassle of this taking place in the open, and the complaints which will occur as things are lost in the mail or people just plain lie about it.

I think this would be a good idea, but I wouldnt put it on the board admins to monitor. Would need to be done through PMs.

I feel badly everytime I'm in the store and see 6 Hot Heads sitting there knowing people can't find them.

I think it's a great idea, but as others have said, it's against the rules for some reason. I've reached out to the Admin to find out exactly why, but I haven't gotten a response. It honestly makes no sense to me as I've been a member, staffer, mod, and assistant admin at numerous sites ranging from Star Wars to Halo to statues and busts, and commerce among the members was actually a big part of the forums. I'm just not sure why there is such resistance to do so here. There should be a dedicated section for it, to post your haves and wants. PMing is not really the answer. How am I to know who has or needs what unless I PM everyone on the boards?

To be honest, the same case here.

I wish I really want Royal Double trouble and the Platinum chest and Now I have to got ebay for it.

I MAY be trading with a few people, both from AUS. BOTH want Glitter variants, and both are giving good trades.

Mantez, buy it on gamestop as the full pack. You can sell the portal and the game for about $20, and $30 is a much better price than what people are charging for RDT alone.

Do they ship to Australia?

No, I don't believe so...
