Reverse auction Ty Cobb (orange background)

It's starting to get interesting

I find it interesting that this in theory violates the bump rule and is at the top of the list regularly for about 2 weeks, yet no one seems to have a problem with that.

In the same regard, everyone blew up the Lenox cobb card thread.

Maybe I am wrong, but shouldn't this be in the action section?

For the record, I really don't care. I am just curious slash pointing out the irony of it.

Well the difference on this thread and Lenox, is he has stated a clear price and he keeps lowering it a decent amount every day, i dont think anyone will object if you list a card and lower it by 5% and then a greater and greater percentage every day.....

In defense of the OP, you are incorrect. He has bumped the thread twice and never in less than three days. (within the BST guidelines)

The daily price drops in Post #1 are achieved by editing without bumping the thread. The current daily price could also be edited into the thread title as well.

Could this thread have been placed in the Live (Reverse) Auction section? I suppose, but I don't think it really matters.

Visibility of sales threads can be enhanced by creative techniques that encourage gratuitous bumping by others, which keeps the thread near the top without even trying.

Selling or not selling a Lenox Cobb in an endless thread without pricing is a whole different story.

Aha. I did not notice that. I just keep seeing it at the top and thought that his edits were helping that.

What keeps it at the top are the jokes and lowball offers.
