    Can we auction stuff for points?
    Lets say I have a phone or an ipod that I want to get rid off can we post a picture here like ebay and auction it and whoever offers the most points gets it. Then we pay a rake to SBR as a percentage of the sale price.

              I would start with the guy who posts lines for Soccer at the points book first.

                Why not? They can make points with the rake.

                So if two posters can't afford to deposit money at the sportbooks they do a virtual yard sale and with the points obtained they buy a free play. Why list the stuff on craiglist, then sell it and take the money to deposit at the book?

                    If this is the case, I have a PS3 that has only been turned on one time. Still has an extra controller in the box. I don't want the game system anymore.

                          That could get ugly for Tltaylor, he loves his points. Might try to sell himself.

                            Wow! Excellent creative thinking!

                            How about a player to player points auction for cash?
                            There has been some huge casino winners lately. What if we had auction where he could offer them for cash to the highest bidder? SBR could be one of the birders.

                              That makes sense. If poster A wins the bid then he can buy cash at the sports book of his choice with the points instead of sending money offshore with ** for a deposit. Therefore the cash transaction between players to buy the points can be done via paypal.

                                Does this include former staff, or are we only talking current staff?

                                    Lets see if we can do this, if so I will see what they are going for. I bought it and played 1 game 1 time. Never watched a movie on it. I thought I would use it but I have no need for it. I have 2 controllers, 1 still in the box, sealed.

                                      very nice, but I dont think that I have around $250 in points for it . You have to wait.....gotta make a nice parlay and hit the muthafuka in order to pay. I hope we don't get banned for this.

                                        Never offered it I asked John if this was ok, waiting for him to say yes or no. If no, than it will never be brought up again.

                                          interesting idea... does the person who purchased an item send the points to a "3rd party" until the merchandise is received and then the points are released to the seller?

                                              except there is nothing to keep you from being scammed...I'd say that SBR would have to regulate a little, like ebay does...Points sent to SBRescrow, item sent to person, SBRescrow sends to seller.

                                                I like this idea. Points send to escrow and when the transaction is completed SBR sends the points to the poster and collects the rake fee.

                                                  Sounds like a good idea!

                                                  I have lots of unneeded/unwanted stuff worthy of a garage sale. Too lazy to do that so and SBR auction would be a better option.

                                                  Who wants this?

                                                      Think the idea is good, but too many legal issues that could get in the way... People getting items not as described, not getting their product, damaged in the mail, etc etc... I think that there should be some regulations on how long a poster has been here, how respected they are etc to allow them to buy or sell.

                                                        I have lots of unneeded/unwanted stuff worthy of a garage sale. Too lazy to do that so and SBR auction would be a better option.

                                                        Who wants this?

                                                        How many JJ rugs can you make out of it?

                                                            This place does not have the capacity to manage such an endeavor. It's tough enough for Ebay to do it, as buyers and sellers still get scammed daily.

                                                              How about a player to player points auction for cash?
                                                              There has been some huge casino winners lately. What if we had auction where he could offer them for cash to the highest bidder? SBR could be one of the birders.
                                                              I will buy some points SBR in the auction

                                                                So if two posters can't afford to deposit money at the sportbooks they do a virtual yard sale and with the points obtained they buy a free play. Why list the stuff on craiglist, then sell it and take the money to deposit at the book?
                                                                I've had my pms banned for the last 7 months because i was trying to trade my points for cash on fulltilt; I've mentioned/asked several times that the sbr store should have trade in for fulltilt or pokerstars, but still hasn't happened.

                                                                I see SBR_John is all for this idea...I hope my ban on pms is lifted if this starts up

It has to be done as a different entity..SBRAuctions. For example players can bid if they have enough points in their balance. They can't allow bidders with inadequate points to bid so they can jack up the bid. And yes anything can be traded that is legal.
