My feelings on The Demon Rush
Maybe there's a game you want to speedrun, but you're having trouble finding the game in the first place. Maybe you just want to expand your game collection. Could be you're having trouble finding the equipment necessary to record an SDA-acceptable run in the first place. Or maybe you just want to get rid of some old games you don't play anymore.
Do:
-Use this board for requests to buy games.
-Sell old games you don't want anymore.
-Trade games
-Sell or buy recording equipment. Not everyone in the community has the equipment necessary to record runs for SDA.
-If you're feeling particularly nice/stupid, you can even donate or lend games to a budding speedrunner.
-Use descriptive topic titles.
Don't:
-Use this board as a wishlist. If you can't buy the game in question, then don't list it.
-Use vague topic titles.
-Price Gouge: We're not all super-rich here, so don't come into this board trying to make a quick buck. This doesn't mean you have to sell a rare game like Panzer Dragoon Saga for 10 dollars, but you shouldn't try to sell it for more than it's worth. If you want the buyer to pay for shipping, then mention it in your post.
-Sell anything non-game related. Like everything else on SDA, keep the discussion game-related.
BTW, this board is an experiment. If the trading post ends up being successful, I'll keep it around. If not much happens within a couple of months, or a lot of bad trades begin to occur, I'll close the board.
EDIT (UltimateDarius): I just wanted to add: if you don't trust someone, mostly in regards to a newer member, trust your own judgement with regards to a trade or a purchase. If possible, use common sense (or Paypal). If you absolutely cannot because the user is underage, I'd be willing to be a middleman: You can mail your payment to me and when the game gets here, I'll send the item and the money in the proper direction. Worst case scenario, you get your money back, or you get your game back. With a successful transaction via this method, names will go on the reputation list accordingly. Please note that this is North America only. If anyone wants to be a middleman elsewhere, please let me know. You must be highly established on this site already in order to become one (someone such as Frezy comes to mind, due to his massive payments in the bounty thread. But there are others here, too, I am sure.)
