anyone?

Ya you find a Marketplace approved & trusted trader in the gift card marketplace. You will then just send them the 16 digits, exp date, etc. Then in return they send you the specified amount onto the poker site. All this is done through personal messages, or email if you have to. Recommend using the PM system on here.

so basically they can only use for online purchases?

Hey,
I subscribed to 'marketplace approved' group 8 days ago, was not approved yet.
I was wondering if a mod could pm me with details, or if there's a problem with my account, so we can discuss.
I'd like to sell a GSOP Prague package, and this is the only place where it's possible I think.
Regards,

I wanna trade a HM code or HM tablescanner code for PT3. Can I open a thread for that?

no

I'm on my phone at the moment and can't check sharkscope or pokerstars. this guy http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...hares-1111643/ is not keeping a rail just want to make sure I'm not getting scamed

i have a thread in staking forum and want mark it as "close" or "sold".
i got no idea how to do it.

See the red triangle with the exclamation mark under your name on the left? That's the report post button, press that and then give the reason why when asked and mods will take care of it.

I've already marked your PLO thread as closed this time though. so no need to press it.

tyvm

hey, iv searched the threads and cant find an answer so if someone could help me out it would be appreciated. I'm a Canadian looking to get staked in an American trny. Just wondering how i go about the taxes. DO i just pay them all myself and split the winnings or do I get everyone SIN # and info and do it for them.

Thank you in advance,

Poker Legislation has most of the tax info - also the tax experts hang out there - trust no other forum. imo

Rhey run 1 and 3k sats to the big 25k sat to the 1m$ guy laliberte charity event. If i win a seat, I can transfer it to someone but I cant sell it for cash to the casino. My question is what would you guys be prepared to pay for one of those 25k seats

Edit: this is hypothetical, I don' have a seat. Also if theres a better place to post move this plz mods

conceptually... a million dollars

Which casino is this at?
I know Montreal casino ran 1, are they still running them?
Also if anybody is considering making an offer on the 25k seat, keep in mind I highly doubt they will get 40 people to the 25k sattelite, so there will even be overlay as they guarantee at least one 1M seat.

Is it mandatory for sellers to set a price for something they are selling? Or can sellers try to get offers or whatever?

quick question.

sold a package with 18% of the shares reserved but no funds received as of yet. Unable to get a hold of these people. Schedule starts in <1hr. I can start the schedule but not finish it without these funds, what is the standard protocol here?

Can I open it up again in MP and or privately? there is 5% WL

We do not have any rules regarding price setting like some other forums. We may end up doing this in the future but not at the moment.

Answered this in the mod forum w/ my opinion.

Was going to start a thread but not really sure which sub-forum it should go, but if it hasn't we need to talk about references. I've had problems on both sides come up, from when I'm trying to find out if a person is trustworthy and they say "x/y/z will vouch for me" or "x/y/z are references" but not mention any sort of relationship. Then I will pm them and they will be like "yeah I can vouch for him" but on follow up it will turn out they actually hadn't done any monetary transactions with them they'd just talked with them on skype and they certainly weren't actually vouching for them (aka they welch the debt's on the reference). Then on the other hand people who I've maybe done a minor poker site transfer where they sent first of people who I've talked to a total of 5 times on skype or something will message me asking if I can be a reference.

In general if I want references my goal is to find out:

1. if you've made similar transactions in the past
2. if you have stuff to lose

So for example if you're a coach and you're making a bunch coaching that's a huge plus to me given that if you rip me off I can probably end most of your business. Similarly if I'm buying action from you and you've previously paid out a huge package or done a large transfer where you've sent last, that helps as well. But hearing that random2p2er has you on skype and thinks you're honest doesn't help me in the slightest.

Similarly as a reference you have to realize what's going on. First of all it's been said before but be careful how you use the word vouch as some might take it to mean its literal meaning which I've rarely heard poker players actually want to use. If you're being contacted as part of being a reference for someone it's not a yes/no question, they generally want to know your interactions with them and why you think you can trust them. By being a reference in the first place we already know the answer is likely yes you think we can trust them, we want to know why.

These are good points and definitely good tips.

But, I think a lot of this falls into the lap of who is asking the reference questions. A followup question to "I can vouch for him" of "why?" can often give you the information that you need.

Aside from that maybe adding something similar like this to the sticky might not be a bad idea.

Yeah I mean I guess it's not a huge problem just figured it couldn't hurt to remind people what the entire point of references actually was. Was just kinda frustrated after getting the millionth request to be a reference for a transfer/stake because I've read their posts on 2p2 and maybe exchanged a pm or two but never done any monetary transactions with them and I know that a lot of people probably just say sure and that some people may not realize how lax some people are with saying their name can be used as a reference.

I wouldn't trust a guy with a 2008 reg date anyway

Hey Zach,

I wanna say NoahSD blogged a bit about that topic.

Yea, I haven't read it recently, so sorry if it's not exactly what you're discussing, but here's the link http://www.nsdpoker.com/2011/08/the-vouching-system/

I can't sell my giftcards in the marketplace because I'm not market place approved. Would it be possible to sell it on the person to person transfer thread for a bank transfer or am I out of luck?

If a person has started a thread, such as http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15...arbon-1111639/ and is asking for a gift-card you are able to sell it to him. You're just not allowed to start your own threads.

For the person to person thread, it needs to be gift card to site or vice versa, non poker transactions, such as gift card for bank transfer are not allowed in there, poker only.
