Fair enough, if you cover immediate resells as scalping, then it's a fairly niche problem left that OcUK might have a relevant but out of stock price that someone may want to try and sell higher than
MM changes to profiteering rules and new Collectibles sub-forum
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
To a degree, but there always exist supply:demand forces that will open up avenues for scalpers/traders to take advantage of the section. If you don't care about that, then yeah absolutely no reason why you can't just do that and drop a load of administrative faff, but I think we do care about that.
I've already said I'm not selling my Lorelai Gilmore Funko-popAh I see the mod team have finally got round to deciding to sell their collectibles
You're absolutely right, we couldn't have done the latter without the former. I'm sure there will be some teething issues and we'll just deal with them.The profiteering change seems inevitable to enable the collectibles section to work, makes sense and I'm sure even if there are unknown unknowns down the road that crop up (they always do) they can be dealt with as and when
Confirmed.

I am happy to sell some lego as the average market going rate!
I know people should be sensible but I think some guidance should be taken when taking an average. Is it average of past 5 sales or average in the past 6 months? Or whichever is longer? Since sometimes, lets say you held onto something for years and all of the sudden it is now popular and you want to flog it. The average of past 12 months might differ from last 3 months.

We’ve discussed (and checked) they are already allowed bud!
Specifically the Gadgets and Tech sub forum.

Yes, as long as you aren't deliberately buying them cheap elsewhere and reselling exclusively for profit (i.e. trading)
In my head (when we were discussing the rules change internally), I took the average just to be current price e.g. on eBay excluding outliers (e.g. not the too cheap probably will get scammed sale, and not the most expensive has been listed for months and not sold sale).
That's a good shout and also probably Slot car racing (scalextric etc) - we will discuss and confirm

They are specifically listed in the forum description - "Wearable tech, home tech, mobile phone accessories, remote control cars, vouchers & gift cards etc. STRICTLY NO TRADERS"
just to be crystal clear; the MM is run by the forums and is not a part of the OcUK shop; so any decision lies with the mods and admins.I await EOL/discountinued GPUs being listed for 1p on OcUK to troll the MM sellers
Edit: Oh wait, that wouldn't work. Still, the thought was hilarious for about 5 seconds while I typed that out.
But if OcUK were to list a GPU at 1p, and other places are listed for £500, then discretion would be used. We'd also not expect you to buy for 1p, then sell for £500!
