I'm considering adding an auction function to the site. People can open accounts to auction their Sailor Moon stuff or bid on Sailor Moon stuff. It would be Sailor Moon-exclusive, I think, or at least only for Sailor Moon fans. I think it would be a great way to exchange goods with other fans, especially now that so much Sailor Moon stuff is difficult to find. Idunno, just thinking. Tell me if you guys think it's a good idea or a horrible idea!

Hmm.... I like it! Like, "I'm Sailor E-Bay and on behalf of the Oracle, I'll punish you if you don't take a look!" ;D Heh heh... Since eBay itself is no help to me... I really like it!

I would LOVE to buy stuff there. A Moon Market would be so much fun!

Are we talking about a money market, or a trade market? Because a market based on real money, may and probably will attract scams and other ways of taking money/stuff for free from others! (since let's face it The Oracle will never have the kind of protection eBay has, and even eBay isn't completely safe ) If, however, we're talking about a trade market where people trade similar objects or something like that, I dunno, there isn't really much of a loss in the eventuality of a fraud! Just give it a thought!

It sounds like a cool idea. I'd enjoy it as long as there's some sort of protection, like the ever-so-pessmistic-Larry pointed our a need for.

Okay, you're paranoid, but so is my grandmother. Not that that means anything, of course.

Just give it a thought! That is very true. I think that you can rate users on the PHP script I'm using. I wanted to do something centralized because I see people auctioning off goods all over the internet, like on livejournal. Some of them are for GREAT prices, too. But since it's so scattered, no one can find the auctions or the sellers have problems. Plus with a centralized location, everyone gets an account; it's not just some random LJ guest anymore.

Yeah, and if that's going to be the situation, I can see the need for extra bandwidth in the near future But if you write some sort of disclaimer like "We are not responsible if you get robbed/scammed" it should be ok! And I still say it should have some "Light trading" that don't involve money

Huh...When I get a lil' more money...I'd be glad to buy a thing or two off of a Sailor Ebay... I want a subtitled DVD(Hopefully, of the full series). Or I'll settle for all the Dub(le gasp! Teh horror!) on DVD, if I have to. Original subtitled>Dub, however. If no DVDs, I'll definetly settle for a cute plushie of Chibiusa...And maybe another of Pegasus. ^_^

Oh, I'd definitely but the English manga, bcause the Italian is very very rare....and not very cheap- well, at least I'd have a place to buy it. But since I'm off limits with real payment...I'd accept light trading more easily!XD
