Are there any alternative P2P financial trading exchanges to those like CME, LIFFE?

That's an interesting thought. Why not allow people to sell calls on their underlying shares on Ebay? Should be simple enough to draw up a one-size-fits-all contract-and the postage would be nil.
 
Ebay doesn't allow it. Calls on underlying shares would come under: Prohibited: Stocks and Other Securities, Questionable: Contracts and Tickets, Potentially Infringing (copyright & trademark): Contracts and Tickets.

Even if you were to use calls or puts on underlying collectibles eg. www.thepit.com , Ebay would still, most probably, prohibit it.

Besides, you need some medium to collect the payment, eg. Paypal, which can take some time for the money to clear.
 
Clearly the evil empire won't allow Ebay to permit such trading.Even second-hand car dealers are allowed to ply their sordid trade! Thank goodness we live in a democracy.
I have been thinking along the lines of a P2P exchange,- the Windlesham International Futures Exchange?

Or WIFE for short.......

Wonder how much I'd be bid for the Mrs.?
 
Does the Windlesham International Futures Exchange trade options on Darth Vader and C3PO? What is its web site?
 
our product range:
WIFE Swaps,WIFE exotic and barrier options,and if you outperform our index,you become a wifebeater(sorry)
No website as in the true tradition of British financial institutions there is no transparency,and no liquidity except when we want to fiddle option settlements.
 
Maybe there can be a tradeable futures index based on the national statistics of monthly beatings, and over or under the national average options on futures?
