So, I was off the boards for most of yesterday. Can anyone catch me up on what is going on?

If I knew I'd tell ya

SO, why did the Trading Post thread die off. Where people expecting too much?

[vaillant]

It was just too slow, IMO. It constantly needed to be bumped to remain on the first page.

 

Maybe if there was more than an offer running it could have worked?

[cloud cloddie]

I ended up doing a trade with somebody, from them seeing my offer weeks after the fact and PMing me. It was a good idea but not structured in the most functional way.

So how about a trading thread with the following premise.

 

You post up the books you a have to trade and what you are looking for. All dealing will be done by PM's. Each person can add to the thread and it is each members responsible to update his/her thread when books are traded. I know its a little looser than one trade per whatever... Maybe a bit to crazy too. May also be against some rule I don't know about too.

 

Just looking for ways to trade off what I have and don't collect.

It was my initial idea too… I think it should work and would really second that, as I have things which I would trade…

I think it could work as long as it is handled like the VCC. Each person has a booth and only 1 booth. They can update it or change it at any time as long as it stays in that post. No chatting at all permitted in the thread.

It‘s a great idea, we should implement that – and we might have this thread to comment, while leaving the actual "bizness" thread clean!
