starting multiple forsale threads within a day or two of one another

[shinyedges]

Starting a new sale thread for every knife seems like what some people are doing, usually within 1 or 2 days of a for sale thread they just created.

Is this supposed to work this way? or is consolidating the knives for sale in a single thread how it works?


This is particularly the case for certain flippers.

I think I like one item per thread.

Nothing worse than an thread with a bunch of sold stuff and one straggler that keeps getting bumped and you keep reading hoping for something new.

The mods of course may have a different ruling.

I understand your point, but for sale threads can be edited to remove sold items and reduce clutter.

I have no dog in this fight, I'm genuinely curious.

From the rules

Consolidate your threads. If you have multiple knives to sell, post them in a single thread. Or you can do different threads on different days. You are only allowed 1 sales thread, per day, per forum. Let's keep it fair for everyone.

Let's also add that if you list an item on say December 1, you cannot list that item again until December 14. That is what the 2 week relisting rule is all about.
So closing down your sales thread that has items you listed on Monday and adding them to a new thread with a new item today does not count and you will get dinged. Once you items are listed, you have to ride it out for 2 weeks, no exceptions. You can edit that sales thread as much as you want, but those items cannot and should not appear in any other thread until the 14 days have passed. You can also add a link to your thread into your singature line, just make sure it's not a billboard. This is highly confusing to a whole group of people, as such if it needs to be put in clearer terms than what is already listed in the rules, we can do that.

I have a question related to this. Do you, the mods, or Spark, have ways to go back and tell what content was edited out? There is one guy who withdraws items all the time. He deletes the content so others can't tell what was listed and says "withdrawn". At least he use to do that. He got super lazy lately and relisted the same knife 3 or so times within 14 days. Just wondering if you can tell what was posted even if the rest of us can't.

If you have submitted a thread, and later wipe it out and just write "all gone", or "withdrawn" we can see the prior edits and tell what was listed. People think we may not be able to see what was there, but that is where we find stuff, usually on the second or third listing for the same things.

Good question cray and good answer rev, I know exactly who craytab is thinking of.

 

[craytab]

Thanks rev. Good to know you guys have that power.

I'm pretty sure I know who you guys are talking about too. And it seems likely he picked up these practices from another flipper who was busted for them.
