BST "Auction" sub-section... thoughts and observations?

[Belfast1933]

I may be oversimplifying it here, but I would think a simple segmentation of the auction section would help auction seller and buyers alike… if I am interested in lower cost, newer items, I’ll head to that section. If I want to sell vintage, more expensive items, I’ll click there instead.

It’s the same principe in the buying/non auction sections - the board has an easy way for me to navigate to cards and products that interest me (50’s, T-206, 19th century, etc)

Imagine if all selling posts didn’t have the segmentation as it does? It would be impossibly difficult to navigate (and my guess is, most wouldn’t after 1-2 frustrating experiences).

Wouldn’t a similar model help the auction experience as well, for both seller and buyer?

I agree with this one. I have bought lots of items off the current auction section but almost all pre 1980. At the risk of getting slammed (and I will) one idea (since this is primarily a baseball forum), is to, at least divide the auction section into Modern, pre-1980 and Everything not Baseball. This might help without having so many auction sections.
