Vendor behavior and ethics

and technically The moment you agree to take payment for a product you make a contract. Therefore you could be taken on Judge Judy and sue them for the product or the money back. Liability would never come into play for TDH. If I got stiffed I wouldn't blame TDH cause that person was here, I would blame the person selling me the product. I don't want to ruffel any feathers :facepalm I just could see where it would help new members and old members to feel secure in buying from someone. :D
 
I don't think I know of a problem with a member who is considered 'a vendor' most of the rare issues seem to be with members selling off stuff they no longer want for what ever reason. The members that continue to offer props for sale all have a good rep and I assume they need to keep it. I know that my dealings with Bobamaker have been excellent and I could not recommend him enough. I don't think we need the feedback thing at all. If you spend some time here, you know who is who and what is what and you know who you want to buy from.

The sticky transactions are the people who don't sell so much, IMHO.
 
I did not quite understand.

Did you mean it is odd that I am a women on a typically male forum?

hmm..... :lol:





I understand humor, and I am a smart***, just ask anyone, but this is not a small issue.

Let me rephrase my meaning: I think it is uncomfortably fantastic that it takes a Woman to address such important issues on a predominantly male forum, when the gender stereotype is that males are less inclined to communicate than females in our society.

And as far as my "MAN CARD" is concerned......I'm have no worries of losing my "man card" because it's tucked safely away in the top drawer of my wife's armoir!:rolleyes

Wait!!! Hold on a second? You know where she hid yours??
 
well, again... my personal opinion only... is that consolidating the information about sellers is a Bad Idea. both for the fact that TDH could be brought into something that it needn't be, and because you really don't necessarily want 100 reviews of your awesome, unlicensed, technically illegal to sell prop to be discovered by a license holder.

i don't sell stuff on any particularly noteworthy scale, but imagine eFX decided to hunt down anyone else making clone helmets and sue them. you come here and see 50 reviews of how awesome mine is... then you know who to sue :)

people who post run lists are taking their lives into their own hands... they have no-one to blame but themselves if they get sued. but other people posting like that could be bad. remember that there are boards that don't even allow you to talk about sales or sources at all!

i know i'm always defending bad sales practices, and it's really not that i think people should be ripped off. i just feel that we are, essentially, selling stuff out of our trenchcoats in a dark alley. and regulating dark alley trenchcoat sales is just not a good idea (imo)

Ok now that makes sense. I can see what you are saying. You are right I know some forums that won't let you into the vendors forum unless you are already 501st approved. I think there are good arguments to both sides. :cheers
