    As a newcomer - has this already been implemented? I can see the marketplace but I have less than 20 posts, I don't want to break any rules by posting before I'm technically allowed!

      There’s a mechanism in place whereby people below a certain rank should not be able to post on the Buying and Selling, Stuff to Trade or Want to Buy boards.

            @Matt …but you do it so well and set the standard we should all try to emulate.  😉

              I’ve learned quite a bit over that exchange and have done some deep introspective assessments.  Everything is a balance…

                I’d like to think I’m grandfathered in for being a judgy dick.

                          How about 20 posts AND 1 month as a member.  Maybe that would cut down on the necroposting [emoji6].

                          I rarely use the buy and sell boards so what goes on there doesn’t really affect me.  But the spamming and necroposting in other threads does.

                              Not an option with the current software sadly. And I agree that the necro-posting is an unfortunate side effect of the policy.  On balance it is the lesser of the evils.

                                I have been reluctant to post this as I don't want it to come off as a complaint.  It is an observation and wonder if others are noticing a similar experience.

                                First, I fully accept that the items I have on my sales thread may not be of interest to prospective buyers, may be priced wrong, or any other number of reasons.  That said, in the past I have been able to sell items fairly quickly.  Since the changes to the market place were implemented, I have received zero inquiry on some items that I recently put up for sale.  I have also noticed bumping seems to be more frequent by other sellers which suggests to me their items for sale are sitting idle too.

                                Again, not a complaint, agree that some type of change was necessary, and I don't have a better solution to propose.  Just curious if others have observed what I have noticed?

                                  I think the holidays are always a slow time for selling.  It picks up again after the credit cards get paid down.

                                    Perfectly reasonable observation and an interesting one too.

                                    I agree with Matt that December will be slow anyway due to folks having other priorities. But it would be naive to think that locking out a portion of members who only visit the forum to use the Marketplace will not have at least some effect on sales.

                                    As for the bumping, it has been noticed and excessive bumping will be followed up more closely.

                                      Thanks for the reply @Matt and @neph93 .  The holidays rationale does make sense.  I should have thought about that too.

                                        @Bums_Fan Question for you and all of the frequent users of the buy/sell area.  Where else do you list your items for sale?  Are there other areas/platforms better for buying and selling than here?  Why do you list items here if you don’t list them other places?  Do you list items other places that you don’t list here?

                                        These are general questions so I understand the market and options better.

                                          @goosehd Good question.  I have only used Ebay for selling non IH items.  All my IH items I have put up for sale have exclusively been on this platform.  I have also bought a number of IH items from members here.  My rationale is that people here understand the brand and therefore easier to move items along.  Honestly, the fees on the other platforms don't bother me.  What does annoy me about the other platforms is the types of questions you get from prospective buyers there.  It is just a different experience and the ease of selling and buying here is to my liking.
