BST question: How many...

uofa1285

How many posts are allowed per day?

If I am listing 5 very different coins today, can I put them in five separate posts or do they have to be in the same one?

Thanks anyone.

just one thread for coins that you have for sale on the boards,one for eBay items and one for wanted to buy...

I wonder how long it will take for the posse to see this thread?

PS only ttt them once a day,if you even give a darn...

Thank you very much.

honestly I don't see why people cannot put sale items AND ebay items in one thread.

I guess it all depends on what you're offering and how much of it you've got...

it's not hard.

I see no sense in anyone making separate posts for ebay listings and sales here.

if we do that, then maybe we can add in addition to those....
1. want items
2. items for sale here
3. ebay items
4. items I have for sale on the fly-in club site
5. items I have for sale on the CWT site
6. items I have on Yahoo

at some point people here need to try to show some respect for the numerous people that post here and continually get bumped off quickly because of people making all sorts of unneccessary threads that can easily be combined into one.

I personally will not look at anyone's wares that does such things. If you have a bunch of coins for sale and a bunch for auction on ebay a simple title such as this "Lot of coins FSH and Lots on EBAY" will get me to look everytime. Put that into 2 threads and I'll ignore you every time.

IMHO:
1. for items for sale here
2. for auction listings:eBay,Yahoo,Heritage,etc.
3. WTB

It's kind of funny that until just recently people haven't had any problems with this.I know that people of gotten t'd off over some listing more than 1 FSH or eBay thread but never if it was just 1 of each.I usally only have 1 of the above but there have been a few times when I had all three and know one gave a hoot.

Hayden,

Here is what I understand the rules to be.....but since they sometimes change with membership opinion, they might be open for interpretation........

1) Keep Multiple Offers to One Thread.
At this point I understood it to mean everything....items you are buying, selling & trading are on one thread.

2) TTT's are Fine as Long as They're Once a Day.. Simple enough for all to understand, but commonly broken when auctions aren't going well on the last day. I understand that, & as long as the thread falls off page 1 before TTTing it again, maybe with a few minutes left......

Then there was this thread, Why Is The Concept Of Showing A Little Consideration So Hard To Grasp? where I mention, "There should be exceptions to the multiple thread rule. A post to sell should be able to co-exist with a post to buy/trade; if you have an old post that is one page 10 & you decide to sell other coins & create a new thread, then someone TTT or replies to the old thread you should not get burn at the stake for. & Sports Moderator1 agreed!
So, in a sense rule #1 was modified to allow a buy & a sell thread (as I saw it).

There was an actual thread (that I cannot find) specifically asking if seperate buy & sell threads were allowed and as I understood it, there were a few 'Yes' replies, no 'Nay' replies, & so I found it OK to post 1 of each.

I could be wrong about this & if you have threads you could post to say that a 'Sell Here' & an 'Sell on eBay' are both allowed I will stand corrected.

uofa1285.....if I could make a suggestion.....what I ended up doing is creating a few threads on the TESTING FORUM with what I wanted to sell, buy, trade....whatever........
then link those pages to the ONE thread on the B/S/T forum.
BOOM, 1 thread for everything, you only need to TTT it once a day. Name the thread & those links carefully so members know exactly what they are going to see.
This may not work for everyone, but it keeps me out of hot water with multiple threads.

I agree with Ajia and Goose3 - there should only be one Sell thread.

It should not matter where the items are for sale (here, eBay auctions or any other site).

Thanks

I would rather see the for sale here and ebay in different threads as I usually ignore the ebay ones....

Lets make is simple one post in this forum per day, and that includes bumps to a previous post.
