    What if expon or another moderator opened a store ONLY for Neofriends members? Members would AB items, and for donating items to the Neofriends store, the moderator would put the item up for sale for 99,999 or something and you could only purchase the item through the forum. Items would obviously be purchased at 25% - 50% off the wiz price so there would be some profit made.

    I believe it'd reaffirm a sense of community with the NFriends & it'd be a neat little addition. I'd pledge to donate at least one item of my igloo abing per day.

    What do you guys think?

    Nothing, its his choice if he has the money.
    But wouldn't people just rather sell it on the Shop Wizard and make more money than put it on here for a cheaper price.
    Maybe they could get points for donating and people would +rep each other for successful trades, etc. so that would be good payoff for donating I guess.

    but if theres like 10 items for sale that are 50% off the wiz which would guarantee me profit, what is preventing me from buying everyone of the items

    Well obviously there are gonna be holes in the mans original idea, but with some editing maybe this may work. The daily giveaway is already kinda like this. Maybe if ppl donated we could do more. Or maybe they could use the points system to buy items who knows. Plus shouldnt this be in the help and suggestions section?

    its a great idea but then again you never know... unless you try it.
    =)
    there are loopholes in all the systems but this one sounds pretty good...
    im still not sure about the donation system though

    And then TNT could come along to the site, pose as a normal member, find the account name and freeze it along with those who have donated to that account.

    Great concept in its ideals... But I don't think it will work. Someone (everyone) would end up taking advantage of this program, and then no one would donate to it anymore.

    Good Idea though.

    It has good theory, but in reality I don't know if it will work. Though if you figure something out, I would be glad to donate after I start with an ABer. Especially if you get rep or points for it.

    Donate real money or donate NP and items? ;o)
    I think donating a few times a month for the daily giveaway is an excellent idea. It would mean better prizes! :) Everybody wins, really. :)
