Update: you may only post in the Buy & Sell forum if you have more than 50 forum posts.
sounds legit
I think it should be higher honestly
In addition to not being able to post, you also cannot browse photos contained within posts in the buy/sell section.
im cool with the first thing, 50 posts is fine, but if new users cant view photos…than we just became an elitist forum.
I wouldn’t call it elitist, I see it more as a precaution. Selling/buying gear on this website is a privilege so I’d prefer to keep it for those we know are legit.
We all know that newbie djs are a great way to sell our gear.
But i don’t know if i want to see 50 junk posts from all these new djs, just so they can buy a piece of kit. (you know its going to happen)
I already see waay to many “where do i get music?” or “what labels are good?” threads.
Maybe that number needs to be a bit more balanced. IDK just a thought…
We decided this after a few scam attempts from low post count users. DJTT can’t really help anyone once this happened (you should stick to using safe payment methods such as PayPal and NEVER send money as a gift) so we just want to prevent this from happening again.
Post spamming is still being monitored as usual and anyone who is caught doing this to get a listing up will be reset back to 0 post and face a temporary ban, if you join our forums just to buy/sell something then you are most likely better off shopping from ebay/craiglist. Rather than force people to post junk to get to that number we’d like to encourage them to contribute in a meaningful way.
Still, we are always open to community feedback so please keep it coming!
Yeah I understand what you mean man. You always bump heads a bit when you need to figure stuff like this out. An old forum I used to visit would require you to donate like $10 to receive access to the subforum. It may seem shitty, but it helps both the website out and it would be a small step to steer away anyone with intentions of scamming.
Why restrict the reading/viewing? Is there a potential way to scam on the buying end? Selling I get, but buying…you don’t ship it out until you receive payment and verify it’s actual payment?
I see no harm in viewing as it currently is. I’m fine w/ the post count to sell though.
I really should get off my lazy ass and try to sell some of my old gear. It’s just burning holes in my wood floors…
Cool let me know what you got babe I need stuffs
Did you really just call me babe dude? Tell me your girl was in the room talking to you while you were typing? 
I doubt you’d be interested in this stuff, and turns out I just sold it to a girl from work. (S4 MKI, Rokit 5’s and HDJ500s)
I probably should sell my STR-8 80’s, but I kind of like having a set of backup decks for insurance purposes. You want a coffin case that would cost more to ship than to buy?
Nope no need
Pay > Item gets shipped > Item Delivered > File a dispute/chargeback claiming they didn’t get it or the item wasn’t as described. There is always a way to ruin someone’s day.
They might not be able to post directly if we restrict it to view only but they can still PM them
didn’t consider that scenario. course, I don’t do much selling/buying online via ebay/paypal, whatever specifically to avoid being screwed over.
paypal is the only way to go, they got mad protection up the ass!
hahaha…take that phrase figuratively
