I totally get it. Arch and I have had PM conversations on the topic several times. Basically what it boils down to is if it creates an overburden on the moderators then it's a problem. Which is understandable, it's a resource and one that's not to be taken for granted.
I didn't say I was going to bounce out of here. But my obvious preference on selling is mystery box...it allows me to receive and move a heavy volume in a short amount of time. What I do, while the numbers sound big, does not take the place of primary income so I'm still working this stuff on the side. There for a brief while last year I thought about going full time, but then realized that the pool of buyers for these types of items was finite. So I was in that weird place where my volume was high, but not high enough to go full time, but still high enough to warrant doing the sales. Honestly, when I saw loot crate take off I was kicking myself for not trying to do that model first.
The reason I did three pricing tiers was because it was suggested by buyers. The reason I do a minimum of $150 is because it allows me to pack a medium flat rate box full of stuff.
Also, if you look at the boards terms of use guidelines, one of the first things that it says it that this place is supposed to be a place of positive interaction and experiences, so if enough people are saying that these types of sales are a burden on upholding that mission then it's understandable.
I'm not mic dropping and walking out, I'm just saying, that this platform, these boards, generated a lot of sales for me, and in turn those sales generated a lot of income for sellers here...so if I'm not able to do this platform here then maybe I can find somewhere else to do it...maybe not...if I can then sure I'll keep sourcing the boards for product when I spot a good deal, if not then I'll just be decreasing my volume of purchases. For the most part my collection has everything in it that I want so most of my purchases ultimately end up in my Mystery Boxes. So I guess that the real trick is finding another place to offer the product and if it succeeds then great, if not then at least I'm not doing it full time.
