question for the masses

I know lurker doesn't deal in this, but where can I find a legit trading forum or channel (us west) I've been having trouble locating one for quite some time.

Hail Saga Keeper,

I assume you are well aware of The Market Place at dii.net: that is where we usually send people. Indeed, I know some (many? I don't know the numbers) people here go there for their trading. I'd assume you know enough to spot a hacked item from a mile away, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to sort through the dodgy people to find the legit people - and once you know they are legit, you can know that when they have a good item, it's safe to trade for. Perhaps someone else could lend you a hand in identifying legit traders - you know where I do my trading, so I don't have a clue about other places ;)

Unfortunately, Elric, the Marketplace is not accepting new registrations at the moment. Thus, unless he has an existing account there (which I'd assume he doesn't, since he's looking for a place to trade :D), he won't be able to conduct any business there.

My wife tells me that diablo2.com (she is a mod there) has legit trading, they crack down pretty hard on stuff over there (I've seen lots of the stuff she deletes). Heck now that I think about it, I know quite a few of the mods and admins there from other places (since that is where a lot of them came from when it came back up), despite not being registered there.

Don't have much else to offer as I simply don't trade with anyone but my wife and tal125 (admin at diablo2.com and a member here). My wife doesn't trade with anyone other than myself and tal, and tal doesn't trade anything to us that he hasn't found himself (he trades with other people). :) Since I know all these people "in real life" well it makes it easier to know it is legit. Makes it hard to get some stuff too. :)

Bonus points to whoever guesses what my wifes username is (you can PM). :)

Edit: Rephrased my bonus point statement since FenrisWulf found a nice little flaw with it. :P

Well, you get 1,000,000 but you also lose 1,000,000 for making me edit my post to make the statement I actually wanted to make.

Hey, I'm the one in charge of the rules of this contest, I can be as arbitrary is I like. :)

[FenrisWulf]

Well, judging from the amount of closed auctions post 1st april and the amount of whining on the board, they aren't that safe after all. Still better than the alternatives I guess.
