Suggestion script sellers should post a demo

This is something that really annoys me and i know it annoys many others, the amount of people trying to sell a script but refuse to post a demo, usually with some crap like
"I cant afford hosting" we all know there are many free hosts out there so that is a ridiculous excuse.

Usually the reason why they don't post a demo is because they are selling some nulled illegal crap.

The easiest way to stop this as far as i can see is to make it a condition in the scripts section that a seller has to post a public demo if they want to sell a script.

I and many other legitimate sellers wouldn't dream of trying to sell a script without posting a public demo and i think its about time something was done about this.

Why don't you just ignore these type of threads? If you've bought enough on the internet, you know those people aren't the type of people you want to do business with. Like you say, if they can't even afford a decent host, it's probably not worth it.

 

It's not just ignoring the thread. Then the seller will go on selling nulled and warez script and scam innocent peoples. Maybe there should be option while opening thread to enter url of demo. I have seen countless people trying to sell warez items. It's my opinion.

The report button is useful to report such illegal stuff + you can report to the original author.
Also you can't force everyone to show a demo of a script that's on sale

 

It is seller's own wisdom that how he wants to convince the potential buyers. and
It is buyer's own wisdon that how convinced he is to a sales thread by a newbie and without a working demo.

 

Why cant you force a seller to show a demo? if they have no access to a server to show a demo how do they know the script even works?
They can build it with xampp but scripts behave differently in a live server environment.
In my opinion no demo just makes the seller look shady and obviously experienced webmasters would not buy a script without seeing a demo, but what about someone just starting out in the business and has no experience of how things are done, they will get ripped off left right and center, and i for one don't think that is fair.
How hard can it be to make it a condition that a seller should show a demo?

 

Do you think they are very succesful in selling warez scripts without demo on this forum? Who will buy from them? It is sellers's wish whether he shows a demo or not, but if you have proof that the script is warez or anything which is not allowed on dp, you can report it as spam.

 

Yes i do, i see a ton of warez and illegal scripts on this forum and like i said in my previous post inexperienced people fall for it, i will say it again, why is it so difficult to make it a condition in the script section to make sellers post a demo?? the only reason they don't is because they have no right to sell the item, its hardly rocket science is it.
I personally have reported warez sellers and nothing is done, its like talking to a brick wall.

 

No solution yet to that problem.

 

Yes i agree, but surely if sellers are forced to show a demo when selling a script the majority of warez sellers will disappear from the forum altogether as they will be found out straight away and booted off the forum or just wont bother which as far as i'm concerned can only be a good thing for DP.
