Did you add it to your cart and then proceed to checkout?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) Interesting. That would bring on a whole new philosophical debate about whether or not we wanted to use soxtalk to sell tickets about price, which would be totally in Jason's lap. Personally I wouldn't be a part of it, but that isn't up to me. I hear ya. I pretty much just wanted a memorabilia/sports card Buy/Sell/Trade area. However, I included tickets in my idea because of the overwhelming interest in buying, selling and trading tickets lately.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) It might take some research to see if Soxtalk could do it or not. I was just aware of the law change. I know on Ebay you can get whatever amount people are willing to pay. I don't think there's a limit. Not totally true. It depends what state the seller is from. They have disclaimers on ebay that say if you are from "X" state, then you cannot allow a bidder to purchase the ticket for more than the amount/more than 2 times the amount/more than 10% over face value. It varies.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) They have auctions... or does "based" mean it has to be the majority of the listings? Well.. we are trying to make heads or tails from the Illinois law. It infers that auction-based sites are the only ones included in the Illinois ruling on ticket "scalping". He said that Stubhub was non-auction, so I wondered how they skirted the Illinois law.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) Stubhub isn't auction-based. O yah. So, how does Illinois deal with them?

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) The actual text of the law There's a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo in there but it looks like the website has to be registered and it may only be limited to auction-style sites... Technically, there ARE no ticket sale sites that AREN'T auction-based.

I do belive that Soxtalk members should donate $10 to the soxtalk fund to be allowed to use that section of the site.

Psycho did a good job on WMVP when he did a show with Lance McCallister and Norm Van Lier, "back in da day".
