there was never even a chance to establish the worth of collateral never got to a point where a potential lender asked for ex. $800 in collateral but with everything else about this, its all being based on assumption and alternate scenarios...instead of facts I recently tagged a user for trying to use collateral he was actually trying to sell. To me, this means the user has no interest to pay back the loan, as they don't want the collateral.
What do you think? Is negative trust justified in this case?
everyone sees this, and is making their voice heard based off of this alone, instead of doing their due diligence before providing their opinion on the matter From what I see on the thread you asked for at least a $400 loan and than posted cards you said where worth around $150. I don't think adding junk cards worth under $10 would have made it any better, because than if you dont pay the loan the funder is stuck trying to sell pokemon cards where most of them are crap and priority shipping is more than the card it self

Thank you everyone for your votes and your input. I will use this thread as a reference the next time someone gets tagged for trying to sell their collateral.

I think the negative feedback is fully justified, considering that he was trying to sell it. I personally would not accept such things as collateral if i was lending, because those can easily be fake, as well as the price is hard to determine. It would be different if it was something like electronics, that actually have value rather than the cards do.

It deserves negative trust if there's a clear intention to defraud. If it's obvious the borrower doesn't have intentions to repay the loan to get the collateral back then it definitely deserves negative trust. However I can think of a scenario where it doesn't: - A person needs 0.5 BTC
- He has a good worth 1 BTC which he could sell if required
- He posts 2 threads: one trying to sell it for 1 BTC and another one asking for a 0.5-BTC loan, offering his good as collateral
- Whatever happens first, he closes the other thread
If it's clear the good is worth much more than the loan then he doesn't deserve negative trust. The reason is simple: he does want to get the collateral back even if he's trying to sell it because it's worth considerably more than the loaned amount. Of course the difference between the loaned amount and the good's value must be clear for this to apply. I totally agree with this post but i'm more than sure that Vod,doesnt referr to this "special" kind of scenarios. Besides we dont see a lot of these. Instead we see a lot of members to try to get the max that they can get,in any way they can. Imo this is one of them. Everybody knows (or can ask at least) what someone have to do to get a loan and to "protect" any possible lender from defaulting aka loosing his money. To sell the collateral that you offer (?) and without telling/justify it from the beggining for all to know,its at least shady. Thus a red.

If the intention is to sell the collateral and try to disguise it as a loan, that this definetly deserve red trust, regardless of the value of the collateral, the end result of the transaction or any other things.
The bottom line is that you lied so you can't be trusted.
Discalimer: I'm not reffering to anyone in particular, I'm just expressing my oppinion in a theoretical situation.

Simple Logic : If you're selling it,either you want to get rid off it or even taken loan on that collateral you'd most likely not repay the loan as you were selling it anyway way. Yes,if you have your sale thread opened or even have the item for sale when asking loan through the same collateral,negative is a must.

Wish ya included quotes, but thanks for the links. From what I see he ended this auction because of no interest in it on 7/15 and says it is closed. On 7/23 the loan request is posted and offering that item as collateral. IF the above is true and I'm not missing anything? THEN NO I can't see how it's a collateral scam or NEG is warranted

A collateral should be a liquidable good that is easy to sell or is able to fetch at least that value. If there is no interest, there should likely be no market for it here. Unless the lender is able to at least guarantee a substantial amount more than the loan amount, I don't see what is the point of even offering it as a collateral. It's way easier to lend it as collateral than to sell it.

IDC if the guy wants 1000 loan request on 1 dollar collateral value, the lender and he would decide. But again, if those dates are correct. The sale ended. It was no longer being offered. THEN the loan request was made. I can't see this being a collateral scam warranting neg, because of the above.

Let's say if the loan is (being loose here w numbers) 100 and the collateral value 250 and its default lender gets their $ back. Ya lil hassle but least he don't lose. Lenders know what the value is and hey at least it's cards not an account. Edit: your lucky Vod is kinder than I am.

Im sorry to say this but no,it can't. Vod is right as he describe it because indeed someone that after a sale put the same item as collateral,doesnt seem quite right. Still in this occasion of yours, i think red is a bit harse. For all the other occasions i have seen here though,i am strongly in favor of red.

Yes it would assume that the user was probably trying to sell his "collateral" to an unsuspecting lender but I don't think that you should convict someone purely on an assumption. It's really up to the lender to do his homework anyway and any good lender would have found this in his post history. I would be more inclined to say tag the account if you want but do it with a neutral feedback, leave red for proven scammers, but that's just my opinion.

For me, I think I would give him the benefit of doubt because at a point of desperation one can be willing to sell or use as collateral which ever comes first but where I would support a Red Trust is if the same goods is sold or ownership has transferred but the loan request is still active, then that an intention to scam which is frown against at any point in time. Opening both threads does not necessarily means to defraud, it could mean waiting for the first one to happen.
