I sent this letter to Binh the other day and he liked it, but wanted to know what the group thought... so please read it and give your input.. thanks Ronnieray

Sitting in my car this morning waiting to go to work and I had a thought,
maybe a silly thought , but a thought just the same.
why dont we make some kind of certifacation for sellers? contact the
sellers and ask them to "donate" 1 player. Take it , give it a format,
make sure it meets the sellers claims, if all goes well, they get banner for
there auction page linking to mympx.org's report on their product. If it
fails to meet the sellers claims, then no certifacation is made and the
seller is notified that his product is not up to Mympxplayer.org standards.
mympx.org could became a not-for-profit entity and then sellers could deduct
the product from their taxes as a donation to charity. mympxplayer.org could
sell,raffle or whatever the player to cover operating expenses. if they are
selling 3 differant models, then they would need to send 1 of each for
cert's to run on each listing, not one covers all. If sellers wanted product
returned, this would be acceptable for a small handling fee. If seller is
using more than 1 name, then this could be used with his aliases i would
make a letter to send sellers telling them about how these people selling
hacked players are hurting there business by taking customers that might
otherwise be buying from them, and maybe something like, " once a person
buys a hacked player, they will say they got screwed using ebay for mp4
player and be a lot less likely to want to take a chance doing it again for
there next one. carrying the "MyMpxplayer.org it's legit" certification
banner on their products webpage insures that their customers are getting
what they're paying for, and as more and more legit sellers sign on , the
harder it will be for scammers to unfairly compete. I would also say
something like "sellers not wishing to particapte will be listed as such and
at some point mympxplayer will be purchasing mp4 players, testing them and
filing complaints as warrented. i think if we can represent the bulk of
legit sellers as one voice, then ebay/paypal will be more likely to have to
listen when we report fraudulant sellers. and any complaints we file outside
of ebay will definatly carry more weight if we represent the masses as 1
voice.
anyways its still a rough idea but i think you can see where i am going with
it.
