Marketing 101 on the BST Forum

Coppernicus

Folks - Just a friendly suggestion: Be specific in your titles. "PCGS Registry Quality Coins" means nothing to me. Now, "PCGS Graded Lincoln Wheats" will be found in my searches. If you have, say, both wheats and memorials for sale, either put both words in the title, or use two posts.

How's this? "PCGS MS66 Beauty" Huh? What is it? Am I even remotely interested? Or, how about this? "Lots PCGS graded coins - L@@K" I think I'll pass...

I always do searches on the BST for certain coins, and I'm sure I'm missing some due to the poor titles. Help me out here, please!!!

Ok, I'll start a thread with a title that specifically states what I'm looking for:

A 1956 1c PCGS PR67 CAM - must be clean, spot-free and nice cameo.

Since I'm posting to your thread also, that's kind of like two for the price of one!

I agree with what you said, but...



<< <i>either put both words in the title, or use two posts. >>

Use both words... multiple posts is a major taboo...

To add a few of my thoughts.
1. Pictures of your item help.
2. How much do you want for it?
3. What is the shipping cost.
4. Make sure that your PM function is turned on.
5. Only ONE post per member per day, or ONE bump of your post.
I don't run the place but those are some of the things I've noticed the members appreciate.

When the denomination is not given, I always assume that it is a Morgan and skip the thread.

For example,

"1882-CC MS-64, 1887 MS-63 and more"

or

"Toned Monsters!"
