I don't promise here that the editors will do what most people vote, I didn't talk about this with them. But I like to know your opinion. Thanks in advance  :)

for me, i am talking about the selling from one fan to another, for something the seller and buyer decide upon (pricewise) and when we say "silvers" only, the seller should know he/she will be banned when he/she sells simple cd'rs for silvers.
just my opinion...
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

I voted against not because it is illegal but this may attract problem to the site.
If you authorize them I suggest a white list and a black list of release to avoid official content to be sold through bootleg...

Myself I have bought many live CD some years ago but now I would mostly buy vinyl LP with beautiful cover.

This is fine in theory, but the people who come on here trying to sell silvers only ever seem to have one post, so banning them isn't really much of a threat.

Maybe we could counter this by saying you need at least 100 posts to be able to sell something, then we can have a better idea that they are genuine fans and not fraudsters?

Not a bad idea at all Dusty! And if the same people who only come to sell try to post 100 posts in one day it's easy for us to see it.

Risking the anger of many members, I think that this is something just the editors should vote on.   
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along
