No prereqs to join. I just made the group invite only since I suspect that those that do join in probably won't want to be making it completely global news about what items they have or are buying at tt prices.

Only real requirement is that you are not a scammer and are willing to offer something instead of only take... I sort of envision it kind of like an Entropia version of real world freecycle, except the stuff isn't really free since it has a tt value... and it's not like freecycle because it's about trading to make profit, not completely about giving away stuff, but if you have surplus of something and don't mind giving it away at tt prices or trading for something else at tt prices, that's always welcomed. It's sort of a way to expand what you can get or try new things to sell without having to pay tons of markup on auctions.

It's also a way for those that do trading that want to specialize in one area to get items related to that one area easily... for instance if there's someone in the group that only buys mining gear, others in the group that craft mining gear might be able to cut a deal, either one time deal or long term deal of some sort. It's mainly about networking, and growing your contacts to make trading a little easier... working together to accomplish more than we can on our own.
