Hello MODs,
I'm just gonna be straight to my point. I just have a little concern regarding buy and sell section.
I believe there are some sellers here in Buy and Sell Section that post a very high selling price for their items to the point that it becomes unreasonable and somewhat scum-like.
On top of that, they are giving false information and hype to the public about their items. On exception though, I understand that there are also sellers who didn't know that the current brand new prices of their items in the market have already depreciated and some had just a hard time letting go of their items at a lower price especially if they had bought it at a high price.
(It's either you base your price a little lower than the lowest brand new price in the market since it is already 2nd hand or just keep it for personal use if you really can't let it go) This way, Buy and Sell Section would become a fairer place to do transactions.
But there are some sellers who really intentionally give false hype, information, and current brand new price in the market and try to give assuring words..
(e.g. Just check it yesterday sa SM 17K pani siya / Dual core ni sya boss, I just read the review / Uu bro, latest gen ni sya) What makes it worst is that there are people who buy them. And this is the
real issue of my concern.
I have been trying to reply to those post with concrete facts by posting web links if possible and tried to give correct information to the public as to hardware information and current market price if there is any.. And sad to say, had already been accused of thread crapping... I'm just trying to defend our fellow istoryan's hard earned money and really felt sorry to those who fell to scumbags.. I know I am not the proper authority to do this but there are people who are being taken advantage of even as you are reading this post now. I know our problem with scums here in istorya is very real and some of us are taking the initiative to post their pictures to make aware the public if we are lucky to have it.
To MODs, I humbly implore your authority to watch over us both buyers and sellers to review each and every post. I suggest you put one or several MODs in a section wherein he or she is very knowledgeable about its hardware, trend, and current pricing. He should have the authority to suggest to the seller of its pricing if the price is deemed unreasonably high and give correct facts if the given information is faulty. I hope our MODs have the power to more than just mere moderating who bumps the most or who craps threads.
I certainly don't want our beloved Istorya.net become a "Buy at your Own Risk" website. Because for me, this is more than just a place for Buy and Sell... more than just a place for interacting with fellow Cebuanos with common interests... for me, Istorya.net is also a way of life.
