Number of open of threads on BST...?

It's funny, I never hear any complaints from the guys who buy from me, it's only the ones I never hear from.
One other thing, there is a problem with grouping stuff together. Many collectors won't take the time to scroll through a long list and there is an 18 scan max per listing. For example, I had 2 items mixed in with a large group of items that went unsold. I listed 2 of the items separately and sold them both in a 1/2 an hour.
I will abide by any rule but it seems to work pretty well as is and the whiners should try and actually buy something every now and then instead of complaining to Leon all the time.
Just sayin'.

If the thread/poll continues the way it is then the rule will be 2 open threads in each category, period. So if you bump one previously started, then that is one and you will have one more that can be open (in that category). I get quite a few PMs and emails about this and I think if we limit the number of open threads per category it will take care of some issues. 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
