gevs4him Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Could someone tell me is this okay? I thought you needed 50 posts to buy or sell :confused: Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 You need 50 to sell. No restrictions on post count for purchases as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Element Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 i would do it. just use paypal and mail it with a confirmation number. :iagree: I sold to someone with 0 posts once and it was perfectly fine. I don't think I would sell to a brand new member with 0 posts though. The person I sold to had been a member for a couple of years at least.

nukeswife Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I would. There is no post count requirement for buying, only for posting things to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dairymom Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I began to search the forums just to buy specific curricula, and have already purchased a number of things. I don't know about anyone else, but I find it hard to reach the 50 post mark! I read through the forums from time to time, and I find that someone else has already responded with what I want to say. I don't want to post just to reach the 50 mark, I want to be helpful if I can--does that make sense? I know that I cannot speak for everyone who doesn't have a lot of posts, but it has been helpful to have people trust me enough to sell to me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 newcomers get a bad rap but I personally have never had a problem selling to them. I have in fact had problems with a few who have had over 1000 posts before. Post count does not = integrity as a buyer. If the contact you are having with a potential buyer is giving you qualms then I would not sell to them no matter the post count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I wouldn't worry about selling to someone. I don't ship until paypal goes through anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsharris28 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I just found this out and now i"m trying to comment all over the place, just so I can sell some curric! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificat Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I agree with several of the posters - I officially joined 1.5 years ago, but I am on the boards reading every single day - and I still haven't reached 50 posts! I have been so happy to sell some items to people on the "wanted to buy" board as well as purchase a few items from the "for sale" board. As stated, I wait for the money to clear on Paypal, then I ship. Conversely, I pay immediately when I agree to purchase something. Hey - this just got me one post closer to 50! Yippee!

Amie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 What do you stand to lose? They are the ones who take a risk by sending money to a stranger. You don't ship anything until the money is cleared. :confused: BTW, I've sold to someone with only a handful of posts...no big deal. I get more nervous as the buyer.

besroma Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 One of the nicest buyers I have sold to only had two posts. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdownie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 As a new member (joined in September), I actually found the board when I was looking for used curriculum. Thankfully, no one seems to have minded selling to me, as I almost always use paypal which is safe for them. I have been able to get great deals on things for my dd and now, I'm feeling more confident in posting. I've asked a couple questions and gotten wonderful responses, and when I see a post from someone else that I can relate to, I am enjoying participating and hopefully having a helpful response.
