Mark, you have some good points as well-I have accepted returns myself, once, when the product wasnt what the person wanted, and I would expect the same. Of course, there is another side to-buyer beware. But I, like the majority of people here, would likely trust some of the more active members more readily than someone who joined, say, a month ago-simply because I am more familiar with them. Ultimately, the decision would be up to the buyer & seller-leaving feedback is a way to limit issues with bad transactions, and works well on other forums. There is ALWAYS a chance that you get screwed-on forums, on public auction sites-heck, it happens at physical stores too. Bottom line is, buyer beware.
Again though, this was just a suggestion. I really think its something we could benefit from-after all, I am sure the majority of us have items that we no longer use, or didnt work for us, or simply have upgraded from. Me, I could likely outfit a medium sized boy scout troop-most of it just doesnt get used at all, and I'd like it to go to someone who will get some use out of it.
