I see increasing posts for selling new or used XDA devices. This could be an interesting new forum.

Dear XDA developers ... can you creat new forum for XDA, accessories and spare parts tradings. This would be like a small specialized E-Bay. I would suggest it should be for only offers while the bids can be through private e-mails.

To make it in a democratic way, I added a simple poll 8)

I will be waiting :)

It's not a bad idea...

One thing though. What can we do here to make sure it's safe to sell/buy here...

I know ebay (or at least ebays in some countries) requires the seller to register with credit card info and this ensures a certain level "trust" from the seller. If something goes wrong, ebay can follow that up.

since i'm from Romania probably only few of them will sell directly to me.

one method is to use bidpay.com(which implies no risk from the seller but maximum risk on the buyer) or paypal (but for example romania is not accepted in the system).

i've bought using my cc on ebay,bidpay,amazon, various online stores and had no problem.

it can be only an offer zone and the transactions to be processed on ebay.com (probably this can be it)

Dear All ..

Thanks to whoever showed interest :) . One thing to clarify tho, I didn't mean it to be REALLY like eBay which requires lots of logistics and security, but I just saw many posts across many forums here about selling/buying, and passed my mind the idea of having this separate forum (especially for spare parts and broken devices which most propably won't be found on eBay alikes).

The idea is to get the people connected to each others and let them to decide how to exchange items. No responsibility or laiability should be put on this site (XDA-developers.com).

Anyway, it's nice to see this spirit and discussions ... keep it :D
