ftp: fair trade promoters

Please note: We are not here to spew out values. Please give us trades with context and do not simply ask what an item is worth.

Our Mission

FTP strives to create an inviting and easily accessible environment for neocash traders to seek and provide both correct and current fair trade advice.

Why were we created?
Value pages are few and far between, and many are becoming outdated or skewed. FTP provides a spot where the community can gather to ask for or give current and correct value information backed by logic that is customized for the asker. There are many factors that go into a trade, and value pages simply cannot address them.



Basic Tips

  1. ALWAYS get more than one opinion
  2. Only trade if you are fully sure you want to
  3. Don't be pressured into a trade, especially if you think something is fishy
  4. Learn how to trade fairly for yourself (through our resource links, chatting at FTP boards, browsing the boards of others, etc.)



Giving Advice suggestions on how to give advice on values/trades

The FTP is not exclusive! Feel free to chime in and share some value or fair trade advice on our current board. We've listed some suggestions below on how to give good advice. These not only help the traders seeking the advice, but will hopefully prevent parroting of numerical values (which could lead to false inflation).
▪ But please, never give advice if you are not sure. The worst thing you can do is give someone incorrect information. Even if no one is there and you are just looking to help, please don't!

good

  • Have current experience (personal or second-hand)
  • When stating past trades mention what both sides received and when the trade occurred
  • Provide reasons for whether or not the trade is fair (ex: rereleases (RRs), past trades, popularity due to supply/demand or season, etc.)
avoid

  • Quoting from a value page and providing a link (they are often outdated and can be biased)
  • Listing only a number (cap value)
  • Giving advice without experience


Board Makers it's simple to join FTP!

help thread

Keep in mind! The new board maker should be decided by page 23, and a new board should be created by page 24. The old board should not be allowed to explode, because it will be linked on the new board. Be sure to update the board number, but feel free to add any kind of "edition" or such!

    First post
    The FTP Chat thread is a place for any and all traders to spend time together, chat, and find trades. While we can offer trade advice and help on this thread, please note that the FTP Help thread will be our "official" advice board. The guidelines for making a new board are the same as the ones for the FTP Help thread.



    Resources highly recommended pages

    Even if you've been trading NC for a while, these pages always come in handy!
