One thing which can be a problem with a "good trader" list is the
implication that if you're not on the list, you're a bad trader. I see
this a lot with eBay. How do you get yourself started (a big part of my
suggestion - don't kick off with your prized set, or 20 sets, kick off
with one set, or perhaps a few, push for feedback (and I always identify
in my feedback that the person is a seller, I look for evidence that the
person has sold, I also always try and read the neutral and negative
feedback - just put one seller on my don't buy list, had a large number
of neutral and negative feedbacks about pirated/copied CDs, though
otherwise their trade record looked good))?

Example: I bought a complete "6278" at a very fair price around a month ago. 1 of (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.theory)
