Just what are the BST rules. I seem to be getting it from all sides.

Is it ok to list Ebay in the title?

One listing only per day?

One bump per listing?

Lets get it on the table folks, so I do not get run out of town.

    The way I understand it one should:

    - Always list eBay in the title when promoting eBay auctions in the body

    - Either one Bump OR one new thread per day

    Umm, that is about it as far as I can remember.

    Look at CoinLieutenant and Russ as examples (there are many others). They do it professionally and do not abuse the privilige. Time your bump close to the end of the auction, if you can. Make friends with members on the forum, and they may give you a courtesy bump (or two...or ten).

    Here's what can happen if you do not follow the rules! Be warned. image

    " Is it ok to list Ebay in the title?"

    I think it should be required, along with the For Auction (FA) rather than For Sale (FS) indication.

    "One listing only per day?"

    Unless you have both Want To Buy (WTB) and FA/FS threads, one thread should cover all your needs.

    "One bump per listing?"

    One bump i.e. TTT per day, or SportsModerator may come down on you (that's his pet pieve).

    If you have a 1887 PCGS ms64 Morgan and a 1889-cc PCGS vf25 Morgan to sell you should list them both in a "single" post and not post each coin separately, alone and by themselves. image

    MG, why did you create a new user ID? The old one wasn't banned.

    Don't do this for starters

    1) Put everything you're selling all into 1 thread and you can bump it ttt only once a day, key word is you.
    2) If selling here and ebay, simply say that in the title by saying: FSH (for sale here) and eBay.
    3) Define your terms of sale clear and upfront.
    4) If you have a website that you want to promote, put a link to it in your sig line only
    5) Respond to inquries via private message only, responding in your thread is not cool because it's considered to be re-bumping your own thread.
    6) Mark what has sold in your thread, or if it has all sold in that thread, mark the title as "All sold"...then if you sell more, create a new thread. Also, personally I leave pictures in the thread until the buyer receives the item(s) in case they claim they didn't get the exact item.
    7) Finally, don't get upset when people inquire, you respond to them via private message in a timely manner, and then the b-tards aren't considerate enough to reply back to you if they are not interested after you've given them details. That, unforunately is very common here.

    There may be more but I would think this is considered by veterans here, to be the basics. Good luck.
    And how come when MGLICKER has posted a link to his auctions on eBay, it is the same account you say yours is, great-service image

    Maybe not be one of the rules but I try and promote this site. Its a place where you can buy, trade and sell where all your profit does not go to someone else. Promote it every chance you get. Its a great site and think if there were 10X more members! So promote it in your clubs and with other collectors.

    Bump all your old threads and you'll double your post count in no time.
