Greg came up with a great idea and it has been fun. Took about two seconds for the fun killers to try and come up with rules to stop it! Jeez. People get way too serious. Try it. It will be hot for a while and then degenerate like a couple of love affairs I had in my youth. Then you move on.

Probably will happen by osmosis.

I think that letting the 2 current threads run their course and then allowing a $100 thread in a few weeks or a month would work pretty well. This type of thing would get stale if it was always present. I think just letting it run it's course and then ending it before it gets old seems like a good idea. If everyone enjoys it, we could do it once a year at the beginning of June or something like that. It will be the most fun when there are a lot of cool cards offered up. If you limit the time-frame that the sale runs, you will get more interest both from sellers and buyers.

We are disappointed at the thought of having to sift through and past such small time threads. Honestly, we'd rather have dinner in New Jersey. And I shudder.

We here with America's most exquisite want list would like to see a $25,000 sale thread. Should the tired masses not be able to fulfill it, sigh, a $10,000 thread will do just fine.

I loved the concept but if you look at some of the other board (such as FB ) you will see the buying and selling cards are all over the threads.

I think an rotation of various dollar levels randomly done is kind of cool but too many will set this board into a buy/sell/trade board with less information going forward. So let's set a limit of one thread a week and move one

I haven't finished my coffee yet this morning but why not a separate section for this ??? And adding a $50 and $25 one as well that way there's more than just the 3.

And again for the little guy collectors. Maybe I'm in the minority but $1k, $500, and even $100 is quite a bit of money to spend in one shot.

Yeah, I'm not understanding that at all. Not sure why this is the end of the world.

Not "while" - "whilst". How quick we forget.

I love it!

Instead of an increasing scale, what about a rotation of inexpensive then expensive like $25.00, $1,000.00, $50.00, $500.00, $100.00, $250.00. This should keep the interest of both the expensive and inexpensive collectors.

OR

run two rotations at the same time like:

$25. and $250.
$50. and $500.
$100 and $1,000

Good or not, just a few ideas.
