Trading Rules

While there is a built-in system to give items/SICKles to a member, there is no actual secure trading platform. This means trades must be handled manually, and therefore rely on trust.
Any item that can be traded (most items can) can be traded/sold/etc. to any other member for whatever that member is willing to pay. Buying out the entire stock of an item, only to re-sell it with a higher price IS intended behavior!
The only real rule of trading:
NO SCAMMING
If both parties agree to trade and only one person sends their side of it, the scammer WILL be banned. We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this behavior. That said, you still need to be smart about how you handle trades.
If the trading becomes popular, I'll make a secure system or at the very least a way for members to rate one another so that it can be easier to see who is trustworthy (think of it like ebay ratings).
To make sure neither party gets screwed, it should be normal practice for both users to confirm that the trade was successful in the thread once it's complete (this way the other member can't come back later and say you never paid when, in reality, you did).
