Proposed Changes in Swap Forum Rules

[Mytribalworld]

Hi,

I must say that I appriciate the way this forum is once set up and its quite normal that from time to time you overvieuw the system and want to makes things better,renew etc. Also rules may change as time learns and collectors and ways to collect changes, no problem with that all.

Being collector and dealer in one I have always struggled with the question whats the part in me that collects and which part is the dealer? Its quite an unique job and still I haven't found an answer for it.

Commercial is a easy word but " we dealers" don't run a supermarket or photographer store, most dealers ( I don't know any dealer who doesn't collect) are collector themself. We are buying and selling mostly scarce objects and be sure finding, describing and selling cost a lot of time.
A lot of time is mostly invested in study as knowledge is a thing the dealer should have to select his objects. This forum has always been a great place to share info for both parties ( dealers,collectors)

I can be wrong in my interpretation but I have the feeling that there will come more space between the two with the new rules.
If its good for the forum the time will learn, we'll see.
I really hope course I think the intensions are well meant.

for me personal I don't think a link or not make any difference in selling results, but I prefer to have the freedom to do so.
( there are so much great links coming this year and I am sure you wouldn't miss them!

best regards and good luck with the forum!,
