Market Section - Product Pricing n Discussions [NO Price checks]

OT someone did a deal on OLX with some graphic card . And now the problems are listed here by both the parties looking for a resolution . This will further complicate issues . All deals must me done on the forum . Only then resolutions can be reached here . Nothing off the forums must be encouraged .
Exactly, There should be a warning that if you deal on another platform or without a sale thread (Sale/WTB thread must be posted before any financial transaction) then forum will not help.
The Olx deal that went bad the forum shouldn't involve and no such discussions should be allowed.
I saw that deals were completed over private message for items mentioned in that thread without going through the marketplace section/feedback process. This has the potential for shady transactions without transparency or accountability that may end up as bad experiences for both sellers and buyers — and then the blame falls on the forum and its moderators.
No sensible member will support such people when they break rule and blame
 
why are people doing shady deals when you can do a much open deal at fair prices.
its like people want to be scammed.
honestly, forum should just ignore if shit goes down in these cases.

Buyers want to buy before things are listed in the marketplace and other members can send in their offers. Sellers want to sell as fast as possible without having to make the extra effort of creating a proper sale thread. It goes something like this, a member asks "What's a fair price of my PS4", someone sends a PM with an offer, they make a deal without a sale thread. If it goes smoothy, most people don't even know that a sale was executed. When it goes bad, they start crying here, "I was scammed! Waaa..."

But that brings me to the point of having transparency and proper sale threads. If that is an expectation/requirement for a sale, should editing details out after a deal is made be allowed? I mean, some sellers remove most details concerning price once a deal is made, and it is not against the rules at present, but that has never sat well with me and any explanation for this behaviour (future prices should not be based on past sales etc.) just sounds feeble/entitled.

Higher ranked/older members have edit privileges for longer periods. (Someone correct me if I am wrong here. Do not remember where I saw this mentioned and exact details of which ranks can edit for how long.)

Also, some deals conclude within the first 24 hours if the product is trending/in demand.

I think the price check should be brought back with a disclaimer that the Forum will not get involved if any deal conducted outside the classified channels goes awry.

Without the price check, I have no idea how to price the product I want to sell lest some people get their pitchforks out if I mistakenly price it too high.
 
I remember this phone being maybe first to have 120hz refresh rate, all other phones had 60hz when Razer released this amazing phone
