Permenant want list

[MartyFromCANADA]

Is there a place on the fourm where we can post a permanent want list that sellers (or other members) can browse? It may help with bumping and re-posting. Also, may help us connect with the cards we need, first page threads vanish pretty quick sometimes. I don't know, just a thought.

and not a bad thought at all.....I know we have the pics section which gets used....but a permanent want list section.....have to think about how that would play out in a forum with threads etc....because members will have to be able to do their own listing and editing...

I have a 'shopping list' in my word documents. Maybe that sort of angle would be more appropriate.

Of course, the BST is full of WTBs and lots of folks add their needs to their post signatures.

I think it's a great idea. Maybe another link across the top that is sortable once clicked on?

Great idea

I'd want it to be a specific bounty list ie. t205 hoblitzell no stats, not just the looking for t205 or buying sets of all kind sort of want list.

I like the idea, but it would have to be searchable, since many of us have lengthy want lists and I doubt anyone would take the time to scour through everyone's. For example if I had a '56 Mantle to sell, I could type that in and it would tell me which guys are looking for that particular card, then I could just shoot off PM's to those few guys in a matter of a minute or two. If it was too cumbersome and time consuming, no one would use it....I would think anyway.

Maybe there should be a limit, say 20 most wanted cards, have flip pages; previous/next, each page would have the members name and most wanted 20. Skim read a members page, click next and so on... As for selling, I think that process is good on here. I just think there would be more connection if we knew what other members were looking for.
