What is the status of moving all the Sale Forums to the Exchange ( From the Makers area).
You say your current ad isn't showing up. Do you have a link to it? Have you made a thread regarding it in this forum so I can troubleshoot?
Also, what rules specifically are you having problems with.
"...Seems very unfair to those who have been following the rules..."
How can you break the rules other than relisting early?
"... I see the advantage for buyers, but they aren't the ones who paid or the privelidge of playing on this part of forums."
Isn't any advantage to the buyer what we want, as in increased sales, visibility?
"... it seems like a lot if sellers (at least Busse sellers) remove pricing once an item is sold."
What's wrong with removing pricing? I must have missed that if it's part of the rules.
I'm sincere with these questions as I have a vested interest in this process as I work on my inventory.
Under the old system, people started with high prices then worked their way down as time went on.
My point is that it is awfully hard to "do your homework" when it is hard to see what things actually sold for.
Maybe some...but alot of sellers just started with a fair price...or what THEY actually paid for it.
Again...price it for what you paid if you dont know or cant find out.
Sorry, but I just have no sympathy for speculators. I'm sure they have their place and all but if they cant find out where to price a knife, "Oh Well..."
That said, I typically leave my sold price up in the thread. I think its helpful but I dont think it should be required.
You sure are making a lot of assumptions here. Did it ever occur to you that people might be selling for reasons other than "speculating"? What I paid for it might be relevant but might not.

With the rules about chatting in for sale threads suspended, why does Glockman still have a sticky in the For Sale section that says no chatting? He seems to be enforcing it against the current rules, as he did with me. Still no apology or lifting of the incorrect infraction. I have heard form others not to hold my breath. Is that really the kind of mod we want around here? I mean, mods should at least have to actually follow the forum rules
Maybe I'm wrong about this but I don't see you listed as having a knifemaker or dealer membership yet you have the audacity to advertise a sword on the very thread that discusses rules?
"Selling Right Now: Jody Samson signed custom Sword"
Under the old system, people started with high prices then worked their way down as time went on. The new system doesn't allow this and the moderator's response was "do your research/homework" instead find the price by trial and error. My point is that it is awfully hard to "do your homework" when it is hard to see what things actually sold for.
Well if you're going to bash me you should know what you are talking about. No I didn't violate other rules. The sword is advertised in my signature which is posted everywhere I post and is perfectly fine to do so according to the rules for Gold or Platinum memberships (I checked this out with Spark a long time ago). Last, the inducted is nothing you would get unless you spent more time on the forum, but it has nothing to do with the ABS. Try asking questions before you leap to assumptions about more senior members. :jerkit:
