rep or itrader

what is more important to you when dealing with other users .. rep or itrader ??

 

iTrader, now that the 5 dollar rule has been enforced, you can now get proper stats from there.

 

Yeah...itrader is good to know with whom you are doing business

 

Usually I prefer the iTrader to get information about some user.

 

Neither. They're both as worthless as each other.
We still have people afraid of awarding negative iTrader for fear of reprisals.
Likewise we still have rep gangs going around repping only their mates.

 

Both the same equal.. lol

 

I prefer reps. It's harder to come by and it's only give to those who are respected by the community.

 

That would be reputation for me for now. If a user has plenty of green bulbs that means it's been here for a while. For iTrader it's so easy to reach 50 or more points if you're selling a good product. IMO you have to listen to your gut feeling rather than itrader/rep.

 

I guess I am missing something

 

I prefer reputation. Any bum with money can get itraders. Reputation takes time and patience to build up

Deals below 5$ have been moved to the freebies section - so no itrades!. But really high itrader works for me

 

Any trade below $5 in value is now meant to go in Freebies.
It's to prevent lamers getting iTrader too easily.

 

i-traders work fine with me. But no harm in having a look at the rep also.

 

I prefer reps more than iTraders. They reflect the character of a person. They hardly can go wrong

 

reps....i think is difficult to get....so i prefer reps

 

rep. i dont sell anything, so itrader isnt an option

 

I treat both the same. Both are important, I think.

 

I believe that iTrader is directly proportional to reputation !

The more iTrader you have , the more reputation you must have

What do you think ?

I consider both...i even take post count into consideration.

 

I personally use Rep when evaluating someone's opinion on a topic, although it isn't the final determining factor. I use iTrader when determining whether I trust them enough to do a financial transaction with them. However, I never do those MB to Payal, eGold to Payal, etc. type of deals either so it doesn't matter. I personally wouldn't spend over $10 on DP. Too many scammers out there. As for the freebie rule. It is irrelevant, as what used to be a $5 deal now becomes a $6 or $7 deal. And yes, trusting your gut is good to use. I also evaluate how long a person has been a member. Most people who are scammers rarely last more than a month or two, and at least 1 or 2 people will leave negative iTrader on a scammer. There just isn't a perfect system in place for unmonitored transactions like this... so you truly do have to go based on your gut feelings when dealing with people on here.

 

I think I trader 65%, Rep 35% important
