If you have multiple things for sale just put them in one thread...if the scans are too large then make them smaller. I am always here to help with things like that. If we institute a rule then there will be some leniency at first so folks can get accustomed to it. I really don't think it's a big deal but the limit would help on a few levels. LL

It's not that the scans are too large, there is an 18 scan maximum period. If you have, for example a signed baseball, and you want to show all the panels, that's 6 scans per ball. That means you can only have 3 signed balls per listing.
That's my dilemma on that issue.
I have a suggestion I am sure nobody wants to hear, how about paying for listings. Ebay charges 30 cents per and then a percentage. How about a flat fee to list and then no one can complain about how many posts because we are paying for them?
I LOVE the B/S/T, it's a great place to sell (for me) and buy (for others). Limiting to 2 threads is really going to diminish the amount of items available. I think the items will stagnate and it will become boring. I would rather pay to have the outlet open to me than be limited to the amount I can offer to other collectors.
I just got off the phone with one of my regulars and he completely agrees with me. He said he doesn't even bother looking at posts that are non-specific and knows many other also do not.
Whatever the majority thinks, just my 2 cents.
