eBay Forum Category/Group--What would you like to see?

We're considering adding an eBay autograph and memorabilia forum, or group, to Autograph Magazine Live! where members can discuss everything from safe buying, to individual buyers and sellers, to discussing particular pieces you're interested in.

Is that something you'd be interested in? If so, what would you like to see in it, would you use it often, and do you have any ideas how you'd like it to work, including rules, etc.

Please tell us your ideas in this forum. We can implement it as early as April 1.

It you're not a member of Autograph Magazine Live! you'll need to join to comment. It's free!

steve, a touchy area especially where buyers/seller information is a slippery slope.

ebay is what it is and the autograph business is alive and well. As Markus and some others point out in the R&R thread who also sell on ebay suprisingly there's lots of non genuine stuff floating around.

e.g. on the Obtained thru the mail item thread...how much of that is genuine, really signed by the artist and then turns up on ebay (genuine or not).

what could be good is a list of sellers that are known to be careful on their offerings or w/o getting into names a study on a particular offering and an analysis of real -vs- fake. Mantle & Dimaggio come to mind and as you know in the other thread Elvis (which I found most informative)

DB, good ideas. We're considering doing what you suggested but it's going to be slanted towards the same sellers, almost exclusively dealers. Lots of thinking about what to do here.
