Number of open of threads on BST...?

[steve B]

I voted for four. Not that I think four is a good limit or that any particular number is.

Obviously unlimited won't work. Eventually someone will list Half.com/Ebay style and list a whole 70's set one card at a time. And I'm sure we don't want that.

But I can also see someone selling maybe a couple lots, and two or three expensive cards.

I think it's appropriate to allow an individual thread for an expensive item, and if there are a few from the same person at once I could see 4 or more.

I only have cheap stuff to sell, and post seldom anyway. I don't think I've bothered bumping any of them since most have stayed on the front page for a few days. If it's not wanted in that time, letting it slide into history s the only sensible thing.
But if I had to sell a few better items, I'd probably want them in their own thread.

I agree with Brad. Most bumping is selfish and an unfair means to jump to the top and push others down.

Curious: how many bumps does it take to convince a seller that there is no interest in what he is selling?

.....at the price(s) he is trying to sell it at.

Steve's post reflects how I feel about the issue. I voted for three as the guideline.

Seems grouping similarly priced (or conditioned) items works from both a buyers and sellers perspective.
