would there be some way that the trading post could be used for people who are regular readers/contributors to the site rather than just anyone?
I don't mean to sound harsh or possessive or anything, I just thing it's a bit odd that so many prospective sellers haven't posted anywhere else in the forums at all.  I realise that comments on the news articles, or info posted to the chatbox don't count towards a members posts.. but is there something that can be done to avoid people using the trading post as a place to post items with a ridiculous asking price (just because this site doesn't charge a listing fee)

Thanks for the suggestion mate. I'm no too sure whether it'll work though as people will just spam to get the amount of posts needed. Not sure what others think of this (So I won't do anything until instructed) but I can lock/remove threads if the prices are absolutely off the planet as I do not want to see people getting ripped off on this forum either:)

I've got quite a few WoW time cards that I'm looking to sell. 

Would they be alright to sell on the Trading Post here?  they're all sealed (bar one which was the shelf pack at an EB shop but the timecard hasn't been scratched off).

Sorry for the slow reply Arjay, but go for it, as long as you are selling them below RRP and at a reasonable price
