I know this whole site says no to cape codes, but hear me out.

My suggestions is as follows: I think this site should bring code selling into the market. The huge problem with this is the whole scamming era around codes, I want to eliminate this. I've had ideas of me and a few others creating a code shop on twitter, creating a site in general, but all seems a bit far fetched and won't eliminate the scamming era which is the key here. I feel like mcm is a reasonably safe place to purchase accounts from, so the way to slowly eliminate cape codes scams is via this site. I fully understand that the cape code scamming era will never be gone, but people need to start being more aware and come to this site to buy legit cape codes, instead of being scammed by a moron for like $50.

Now this idea will bring in more traffic to the site, which is a positive, bigger the audience the more revenue you will be gaining.

That's besides the point, I think MCM should implement a cape code section (for premium users only) to advertise their cape codes. In order for this to work, they would have to go through a process. That process will include a staff member seeing proof that they legitimately obtained the code, or if they attended the minecon themselves. There is a current rumour that cape codes no longer redeem, and this rumour is false. To simply put it to you, the code needs to be modified in order to become redeemable, s/o to chearful. Chearful has shared a method to redeem codes and I will have to check with him before I share this information with you. Back to the process, after the staff team verifies that the code is legit (either through using the proof that the seller has provided, or using cheerfuls method) The post can then be publicly shared to the rest of the market.

This is just an idea so please don't hate me for this. I know it's a huge ask, and will require additional staff which have knowledge with codes, but I think everyone wants this. Who knows. Let's find out.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

I totally agree. I've been wanting to add a Minecon cape to my account for a long time, but I can't seem to find any trustworthy websites/people to buy them from. If MCM were to implement this back into their market, I believe it would make life a lot easier, and allow people to increase their sales.

I would definitely buy premium to sell my cape if this was on the site. Great suggestion.

If it is professionally laid out and monitored well I'm perfectly fine with it. Theres lots of people who want to buy cape codes right now but are reduced to the "other forum" where 99% of people scam because it is poorly maintained and anyone can just take images off google and claim to own a cape code... +1 ;^)

Totally agreed, the process of verification needs to be strict and mc market staff can do this without a problem.

If it is well maintained/reviewed to ensure there are less scams then I would like to see it happen. When I bought my 2016 codes ages ago it was a pain to ensure that those selling them were legit since there is no where that does offer validation/security for the codes. Having this would encourage more people to use the site (and buy Premium if they want to Sell) while having some sort of protection for those wanting to buy them instead of there being basically nothing for it.

Using chearfuls method all you need is a cape account to verify a code. For example, if someone requested to sell a 2013 code, mcm staff would need a 2013 cape account, use chearfuls method, and it will either say, the code has already been redeemed, or just show an error or whatever it is if it was working.

I agree to this, but the cape code section should be, obviously, very well managed, looked over. There should (almost always) be a middleman that would hold funds of the buyer and screenshare him redeeming the code, just like in a deal I had for a 2016 code a couple weeks ago.

maybe the cape code section would be a premium / supreme perk?
I don't think that'd work. The target audience is minecon attendees; I don't think they'd buy a rank just for the sole purpose of selling their code but now that I think of it that might also apply to minecraft accounts.

Only issue is cape account price would go down and cape codes would be way more expensive
they are already more expensive than cape accs and that will not happen. cape accounts will be still a better alternative for broker bois

that makes no sense. Capes are still being sold its just harder to find a contact. Maybe 2016s would go down a little but there are a limited number of codes out there and I don't think this would really impact the price of cape accounts much

There's a fresh way to erase scammers, Make the codes checked before they go for sale, for example, you have to show it to an Admin, that when see your thread requested to put your code for sale will PM you asking for proof (Good evidence not a random ss).
And a MM will be forced to be used to avoid scams, Unless Glove is dealing with you.
that's all the verification that needs to be done, prove the code works to admins and you're good to be able to sell

makes fine sense to me, if someone owns a og you don’t think they’d want a cape on their og then a whole new account?
they'd still have to buy it. Its not like just because mcm doesn't allow them you still can't get them. Plus cape accounts have always been cheaper then codes and a lot of people won't spend 400 for a code
