Buy, Sell or Trade access via log-in only?

As there are no credit card information or enough personal data to steal an identity contained in the MLU data bank, I am not worried about the theft of data from MLU. I do worry more about scammers getting on the forum and flogging items they don't have. So to that end, the fact that we generally know each other here has worked out well.

With the influx of new flaces recently, I have used some caution, but up to now it has worked out well. But when it comes to the regulars on the forum, I have to say I have had extreme satisfaction over the years. I personally have no issue with the exchange section being log-in protected. It seems that if I or others have decent CMP related material to sell, it does not last long within the fraternity here as long as it is realistically priced.

By the way, the new influx of fresh faces to the forum has been kind of refreshing. Hopefully they stick around and we don't just get the "what's this worth" one time visitors all the time.
