I would also like to comment on integrity, I have made a number of purchases in the last 6 months, both here and on other boards, when using the term "shave ready" it appears only SRP members know what that means:D, out of 20+ razors bought on SRP only 1 has not been shave ready advertised, whereas on another board, the opposite has been true and only 1 or 2 were actually "shave ready" so overall I have found the ingtegrity of the members here absolutlety outstanding !!
so to get back to the OP, as a rookie I think that charging would make it seem like ebay, and I probably would not have much confidence in the process, if i was going to set a policy, it would be 100 posts, and 6 months membership, that way if a guy has been a member here 6 months, he will likely have enough knowledge to be minimally trusted
