How often is too often?

Once a day if it falls of the 1st page would be appropriate. But this is coming from someone that very seldom looks at the for sale forum.

I personally will follow the link in ones sig line versus looking at the for sale forum. I wont do business with a person that doesn't participate in discussions once they reach their 10 post and all they want to use the forum for is advertising

 

Basically, if its still on the 1st page there would be no reason to bump it back to the top if it falls off the first or second page I see no problems with a to the top post. Though as a quick look at the for sale page one is eight days worth of ads.

 

What about a permanent Ad on CT. I wonder how much that costs? Probably a lot

 

I am fine if you post every day. I always up to sweep g what's for sale from others. I wish there were more posts from others.

 

In my opinion, you're welcome to post as often as you like. I think you should work to find that sweet spot between posting and overposting as far as what gets you coins sold. The fact of the matter is, if you're selling the coins on here and people are buying them, then everyone benefits. If people are buying coins from you everyday, post them every day. I do think that might be a bit much, but that's more because I don't have a big budget and I don't enjoy selling my collection. I've yet to see a post from you that seemed to go against the spirit of the online forum. I say post away and find the sweet spot.

 

Here's a stupid question......how do you get into the WTS section?

 

I like the way it's done at the PCGS forums. Once a day bump. But there is quite a lot of traffic on the BST section. For this forum, it could go days before the topic is off the first page. Which is why I don't think the current format of one per week is all that bad. JMO

 

Please back up one step.
What is WTS?

 

Want To Sell

 

I scan the recent topics/new posts and not specific forums. I worry that daily sales postings could potentially overwhelm the recent topics.

There isn't a limit on the number of items that can be listed each week, is there?

 

Personally, I'd like to see the Buy/Sell/Trade/Auction listings in a separate column from the "Recent Topics". They take up space which bumps many discussion topics off the list.

I think about 3 times a week would be a comfortable medium. I personally check the For Sale forum almost daily and welcome more postings from good sellers/dealers.

I know Benjamin and Brian were posting frequently at one point and the rate they were going never seemed to overwhelm the whole board, so I dont have any issue with it at all.

My main concern would be unchanging listing being repeated. As long as the material rotates fairly regularly than I certainly dont have any issues.

 

Thanks Mike, but I still don't get anything. I used to be able to get to these types of posts in the past but nothing is showing up. Mods? Help!

 

Medjoy helped me get things back. Something in my settings.

Never mind Mods.......

 

I thought once a week was common practice. Keeps it from being spammed.

 

Unless I'm missing something (quite possible), if you're a reliable seller AND you want to sell coins, I think the listings should be unlimited. IMO, that's what the thread is for: buying and selling coins among trustworthy people.
