I think it's important that forumites give each other the opportunity to buy or swap items first, before these go on ebay or other auction sites. This can often 'boost' the price, I know.
I've already found some good items here. Even if we don't know each other really, through this forum there is some kind of trust. When I get something from a forum member, I know I won't be disappointed. The quality of the collected pieces is mostly very high.
