this might be the right place to bring up an idea I had earlier this week.
Reading about a few guys who had phones stolen, who were ripped of etc etc... I though, heck, yeah, and then you're broke.... While there's folks here (myself included) who have "old" phones they no longer use but cannot be arsed to sell....
So, I thought I'd pass on my od kxxx to a worthy member "in need", and that member could then pass it on to someone else once the problem is solved... or return it to a treasurer - maybe paying for postage!?!
Obviously, the system would have to be protected against scammers????
What do you think???

Hooray, batesie and Masseur are our 1st in the pool.
Shall we get MikLSP involved. Maybe he can draw some system of voting and listing?

good idea, what about if the person has met face to face with a certain amount of people.? maybe top 20 posters and high feedback traders?

BATSIE, GOLDENFACE'S IDEA OR MINE?
Yeah - something along those lines... I mean, obviously, there are people you get to "know" over time, who you trust regardless of distance... so there I wouldn't hesitate to "help out" anyways; and I'd say realistically (sadly) you'd have to have some kind of post-number to qualify for the social scheme, otherwise people would join just to "borrow" phones, and esato would crash!?
But hell, it's called online-community!!! I wouldn't mind putting my phone where my mouth is -
pun intended

this thread is more about a middle man for transactions...
but your idea is good, but i wouldnt think theres many people willing to lend a complete stranger a working phone for an unknown amount of time...

@batesie
There are a few members on here who have met face to face and that can also be vouced for, so that in itself is another built-in level of trust so to speak.
Great!
Quite a lot of trading does go on here so it shouldn't be too difficult to build a core pool of traders who can be easily trusted.
Shall we keep it to a limted number of say 10 or so or have an open amount?

yeah, probably not, but still... I know cases who'd appreciate even just an old 1600 or similar... and members who are willing to "donate" so to speak could get some sort of "credit"...trader-points...
I know, it's not what the thread is about, just brought it up because of the similar administrative problems and trust issues!

Esato does not take any responsibility for any trades done here. It merely facilitates trading by providing market forums for members to advertise in.
As trading is wholly a member based activity its totally up to us, the members, to make the rules as we see fit
