In response to being called "a fun killer" in this thread, a 10,000 cents thread has already been started in the BST section. If anyone wants to glom onto it, be my guest. Bumps mean exposure and exposure means sales. Furthermore, fun killers will be dealt with harshly.:eek:

Probably the best idea on here. That way it can be consolidated into one thread rather than 2-3.

Still deciding on how to approach these threads? It seems the majority would like to see them continue in some form or fashion at least from the responses given. I can't imagine there being more than one at a time if we move forward. Also, to me, when these threads were first done it seemed like the spirit was to try to make whatever you offer be a much better deal than otherwise. I am not saying they all had to be great deals but at least better than normal. Some of them were that and it was great. Then some were more of BST type things offered for a 10% discount here in hopes of selling. I dunno. I think it will be hard to manage. If someone wants to step up and manage the threads, and only have one going at a time, I think we can discuss trying that. If anything doesn't work or has unintended undesirable consequences then we will quit. It's not that big of a deal, really. Nothing is changing with the BST, listings are still to be done in correct spots....and so forth. These threads, if done, are one offs. Who cares, anyone can just not click on one measly thread if they don't like it. If that is too much of a bother, sorry.

As a suggestion, maybe we have a different thread every 2 weeks BUT when one is started the other gets locked. That way there could be different dollar level threads and it could add diversity. And if that is the case, while it's a nice thought to want to include all members at all pricing levels, I am not sure we can meet that objective. I don't know if a $25 thread works or not? Lastly, for whatever reason, it seems the enthusiasm has subsided just a bit. If we never get to a great consensus on what to do, then this experiment will retire into thread archives......

I say give these types of threads the green light. Sure, a $50-$100 thread will most certainly see more action than a $500-$1000 thread but I'd still bet they all are done and drop off the main pages in a month, tops. And in the mean time the participants can have some fun with the hobby.

Just my $0.02.

I like the idea of only 100, 250, 500, and 1000 dollar options. I would advocate a one or two week at most rotation for each thread and fully agree to Leon's idea of locking the previous threads and leaving just the one. I think this is absolutely necessary to keep the excitement of each thread and not have them filled with junk to sift through as some people will always put things in that just won't sell.

I am totally against a 25 or 50 dollar thread, not being elitist, but small purchases can be put on the BST and is that not more ebay territory? I just would not be interested in a giant thread with not much eye candy at that price point. Also, I think lots should not be allowed. If you want to sell 230 1972 Topps commons for a 100 bucks, please use the BST.

Just my 2 cents.

This sounds like one of the best ideas/compromises and since everyone seems to be coming up with different alternatives I say we go with this if Leon is ok with it. Anyone else vote for it?

So you takin' charge? :)

No way! Just thought there were so many alternatives suggested that at least a seconding of one might lead to further consensus subject to your approval.

Actually Greg would get first dibs....but see what I mean? ;)

I really like the $100 idea. I've enjoyed the other two threads.

I think if you are banned from B/S/T area, you should be banned from these threads as well.
