a once a month...randomly selected dollar amount for a thread is a good idea.

I like this idea. Each month a different amount or two and keep it at that, with the amount(s) alternating from like $50-100-250-500-750-1000+ randomly. We don't want to bury other thought provoking threads with too much clutter.

People be taking this way too seriously.

I'm a newbie here and have really enjoyed
Watching the 500 and 1000 dollar threads.
1000 is out of my range but 250 and 500 is more
My speed. I predict 100 and lower will bring
Tons of people in...... Maybe too much traffic??

Also I think it would be better to stay with one price
one card. That to me is what keeps it interesting.
Otherwise you end up with people selling 5 cards for
a 1000 etc. Kind of takes away from the whole point of
doing it I think. I like seeing the 1000 and 500 dollars
cards not the 10 for 1000 business. I really
enjoy watching the BIG BOYS trade. Get
To see some crazy a$$ high end
vintage cards

My one cent

I'm fine with this and would be in favor of separate $100/$500/$1000 threads. The biggest problem I could see is it being cluttered with stuff that isn't really a bargain and I don't know how you go about policing that sort of thing.

Only one item for sale per person at a time should do it. I suspect if your item hasn't sold in a week or so you've priced it too high.

Yeah, maybe a rule about if it doesn't sell in the previous week, you have to either put it in the B/S/T or wait a few weeks to repost again? That might work.

True to point....... I've already seen some
cards posted that were overpriced.

No responses. It will take care of itself

for sure...and it will add suspense to each month.

The front page is often cluttered with this person died, or look at this eBay fake threads. At least the $500 and $1000 threads are on topic, if not previously being confined to the BST. A nice change of pace and fun to read.

I would love a $100 thread as that's the level of collector I am. I have very much enjoyed the other two threads from a viewer's standpoint.

I like the idea. The other 2 have been fun to look at. Like others, I'd be more able to participate in a $100 thread.

Having 1, 2 or 3 threads open for this purpose would make me more likely to look at the main board, but I understand that others will find it annoying, and we should try to find a solution that works for everyone.

The main board is mostly people bitching about reprints on ebay, so having some more actual content to look at is good imo.

I love the idea of a $100 thread but believe it should be one item - $100.... not 5 for $100 etc.
