A few board policies - BST, PMs.....

[Luke]

I agree with all this.

My biggest frustration is this: The vast majority of people on here are courteous, but there are a handful that use the BST as their personal ebay museum. I don't really know what can be done about it. If a person is bumping their ridiculously priced item every 3 days, they are technically within the rules, even if they are being incredibly tone-deaf and rude to everyone else who is using the BST in a courteous manner.

I also, think that the BST posts should not be a place for a conversation which will bump the listing to the top every time someone responds. If you want to have a conversation, then start a post outside of the BST.

"Hey Beautiful card". bump
"Thanks" bump
"Your Welcome" bump
"I've never seen one like this before" bump
"Nice weather today" bump
"Yeah" bump

I think it also hurts the listing with the longer the card is on the market. People start looking at it like a red headed step child. Not all bumps and price reductions are good. I don't think I've ever personally bought something that had more than 2 post on it other than a currency I just got which had a question to what year it was.

You gotta wonder if some of these guys have made a sale...ever.

Don't put eBay spam in the main bst categories. There is a separate section for eBay items. This seems to happen lot.
