Don’t start a selling thread today that you won’t be having until tomorrow

what does it mean 'post a single book'?  If a book is posted then its a sale, right?  What does announcement that isnt an announcement mean?  If its not an announcement then its a sale and thats ok, right?

Here's an example. Occasionally, people would start a sales thread at say 1pm with no books posted for sale and then say something to the effect of books will be posted starting at 8pm. This annoyed some boardies because it was like hyping your sales thread without actually selling anything. The Announcements thread was started as a way to curb this. Use the announcement thread to declare what you would be selling instead of starting what amounted to a delayed sales thread in the selling forum thus taking up front page space with nothing. This happened quite a bit in the 'old days' and still does occur.

Then, some Einstein decided that a way to game/manipulate the system was to start one of these threads and post a single book for sale stating that the rest of the books would be posted later.

You put up a beat POS and ask $1 million for it. Then you advertise your other books that will be listed later.

Ok I'm starting to understand-but why not just list all your books at once?  Whats the upside of starting a bogus listing?

At least it’s not as bad as those who try to be clever and post some convoluted question about the books they plan on selling in comics general.

 “What do you guys think is the best way to sell these?“

I typically respond with...

”Post a thread in comics general for maximum exposure to help solicit offers via PM.  

Oh wait...”
