The $100 Experiment Thread Discussion...

[slidekellyslide]

I vote for all three. $100, $500, $1000 and they should all be pinned at the top so those who don't like it can scroll right past them.

Nearly every forum I participate in has pinned threads at the top 100% of the time and it's never a bother.

Perfect idea!

I also like the idea of a $100 thread because I might actually be able to pick up something nice. I can only window shop the other high dollar threads.

People be taking this way too seriously.

+1000. It's two threads. If you don't like it, don't open it. But I can say from personal experience, I think it's a great idea. It has me checking the board way more often. Very unique.

Just to nip it in the bud 3 pinned (or any pinned) threads are not going to happen.

Greg came up with a great idea and it has been fun. Took about two seconds for the fun killers to try and come up with rules to stop it! Jeez. People get way too serious. Try it. It will be hot for a while and then degenerate like a couple of love affairs I had in my youth. Then you move on.

Probably will happen by osmosis.

I think that letting the 2 current threads run their course and then allowing a $100 thread in a few weeks or a month would work pretty well. This type of thing would get stale if it was always present. I think just letting it run it's course and then ending it before it gets old seems like a good idea. If everyone enjoys it, we could do it once a year at the beginning of June or something like that. It will be the most fun when there are a lot of cool cards offered up. If you limit the time-frame that the sale runs, you will get more interest both from sellers and buyers.

We are disappointed at the thought of having to sift through and past such small time threads. Honestly, we'd rather have dinner in New Jersey. And I shudder.

We here with America's most exquisite want list would like to see a $25,000 sale thread. Should the tired masses not be able to fulfill it, sigh, a $10,000 thread will do just fine.

I am enjoying the $1,000 and $500 threads thus far. If it is decided to have $50 and/or $100 threads, I suggest there be separate threads for pre-War and post-War items because of the amount of activity that I suspect will be posted in these threads. Also, I see no problem with having several threads ($50, $100, $250, $500, and $1,000) going at the same time, PROVIDED these threads are confined to a newly-created forum in the B/S/T Section. And, finally, I suggest a maximum of 2 items for the fixed price, at all price levels.
