[QUOTE="sodude, post: 1922048, member: 30828"]I think the rules kill it as a marketplace. For one thing, you can only post once a week. That doesn't work for people who get new coins in everyday. Those guys need to move product, so they aren't going to wait six days to list. So that eliminates the people who buy a lot of coins and bullion and would be able to offer low prices (due to their volume). You also cannot update your listings. That makes your listings look static and unattractive (for example, you see that there have been 200 page views, but nothing has been crossed off as sold). I'm not criticizing, I think CT just doesn't really want to have a vibrant marketplace on its site, which is fine. It seem to be viewed as something they don't want too much of, but they'll tolerate us listing a few items now and then. From the buyers side, it seems like many sellers ask full ebay prices. For that I might as well just go to ebay. And CT doesn't have a feedback system; other forums with more active buying and selling do.[/QUOTE]
