Would it be possible to make a forum devoted to people that want to sell stuf (Free stuff they recieved, etc...) or is that not good, cause i've talked to several people and they think it would be a descent idea... What do you'all think (no im not from the south)

I think eBay is a good enough place to sell stuff.. much larger audience than the FIG forums.

i guess.. but i fail to see why someone would sell on here and get less than they would on eBay.

There is far too much scamming in the trading post to even consider a selling forum.

In 100+ transactions, I've only been "scammed" once...and I kinda knew it was coming. I won an auction ($42 shipped) for a product that wholesales around $180...the guy had like 3 recent negative feedbacks but had a bunch of positives before that so I was willing to take the risk.

You also have to pay on eBay. People have already sold your shit and sell it for way less than you would like to. I think all the Forums for each "Free" site should be bunched into one, same with the Brag Bag. And have a Selling forum added. And only reputable traders can sell..anything. I think it would be nice to give a try
--EDIT--
Wasnt this my idea?

Ok....I'm willing to buy anything anyone is selling...for whatever price they are asking. I'll pay after I receive the item.
Get the point? Also, knowing that the seller got it for free, the buyer isn't going to want to pay as much.

Not just FREE items, anything..ANYTHING!..appropriate..and everything could be done over Paypal with Paypal return and Problem troubleshooting.

payment first through paypal would stop or at least cut back on fraud, in order to get a refund the people just have to file a claim, however if its unjust itll ruin their paypal cred and to my knowledge get them in a buncha trouble if you fight it... not like its all that hard to keep the scammers away.. but ya... scamming would occour

Im sure the owner does not want the responsibility in case one of these buyers / sellers get scammed. Plus just go on ebay, or another forum to get this stuff for money. This is a place to get stuff for FREE!!!

If it did happen, a good idea would be to have a seller feedback (similar to eBay) where people could leave a +1 and comment upon completion of a successful transaction.

lowballing is when you say i want to sell this for $100, and then someone offers like $10 for it.
