Realized that I won't be able to sell to most people on here because of trust issues so I'll just give over the mehalach that these subscriptions are being sold for 5200 points in the Hilton Shopping Mall which is a steal considering what Hilton points are really worth.  Happy reading!

Basically somebody without a lot of posts...how do I know they'll pay me/say they haven't received any issues and want their money back?

& what about people who do have a lot of posts? You trust them? Doesn't it depend on the person & not on the number of posts? (I'm not just saying this because I a have very few posts).

I don't have so many myself but somebody with a lot of (quality) posts I think has more concern for their reputation in the forums than somebody without a history here.  Does eBay feedback not work the same way?

+1
A possible reason is bec -
Many people here have met before at a "ddf DO" and now know each other personally.

Most of the attendees at ddf DO's are members who've been around for awhile/have higher post counts. (Anyone is invited,  but usually the ones that attend are the ones that are around for awhile)

I think the trust issues should be three other way. I think most people would share information like that here, rather than trying to profit off it

which was part of my change of heart but additionally not everyone has Hilton points or would be willing to transfer them from Amex MR or a more valuable program just for a magazine subscription.

Transparency is always best practice
