Is there a secret to getting traction on BST posts?

Three times today, I saw a listing in the BST that interested me. When I clicked on them, each one had "trades only" or something similar. Each time, it was a post of yours. I wasn't interested in trading; however, I would have made a purchase if possible.

As someone else mentioned earlier, there are some people whose posts they don't even bother clicking on. I'm seeing the logic in that mindset.

Its good to start a sales Subject line with any of the following so its clear what the intention is.

FS: For Sale
LTB: Looking to buy
FT: For trade

Thanks. I will start doing that going forward. I don't think it'll help, but I'll do it.
