on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some others here. You've
got no skin in the game, as they say."

And I said, several times:
1. Buyers are a part of the selling game. Or please explain to me to whom would
you send those notifications and who’s gonna pay for the orders?
Might I remind you sellers only get a bit more than 97% of the money whereas
buyers pay 100%.
2. You linked a message from a 0-fb buyer as motive for this idea.
Can’t you just even answer arguments with counter arguments? Do you have to
always resort to condescension and making fun of people in every discussion you
take part?
I thought this time would be different because you started the thread but I was
wrong. You still believe it’s some sort of game of which you’re the best player
and in which you can loftily praise and admonish.
You’re just a bully.

| That would be something! We usually have around 100 pounds of un-inventoried
parts on our sorting table but, have little idea what people want to buy! So
we just randomly add as we see fit.

brings to mind an idea that briefly visited my headspace some time ago:
A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.
Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling 
It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.
But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

What is a brain-fart that is not bonafide?

I guess school is back in session for popsicle. Not a great time to be sober

Just let me know if there's any other well intentioned queries. I'm here
for a little while

| | | | gallic friend, as a non seller and not much of a buyer (it
would appear from your history here) I really don't know if I'll take
your advise on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some
others here. You've got no skin in the game, as they say.
|
You’re talking about sellers reaching to buyers. I’d have thought buyers’ opinions
would be of interest to you.
But maybe it’s a cultural thing. After all, EU is opt-in while the USA are opt-out.
Recipients like to be in the loop here, not treated like kettle/cattle….
Besides, if you only consider sellers or very frequent buyers then I don’t understand
why you linked the message of a zero feedback buyer as a motive for your idea.
Or is there a “too much but not enough” range of buyers you’re excluding?
| | But I am glad you came out to play with me again 
|
Make up your mind: you just said you don’t want me and my kind on the field
|
"you and your kind?" Feeling persecuted, are you? No, my dove. To me you are
one-of-a-kind.
|
Once again, make up your mind.
You said you didn’t want to consider my opininon because I’m a non seller, neither
0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyer. I thought that applied to
all non sellers, neither 0- nor “enough”- (whatever that would be) FB buyers,
or even all buyers-only.
Doesn’t that fall under the phrase “me and my kind”?
|
Sorry my pet, I don't know what you're babbling about here in your sleep
deprived state
Here is what I actually said "I really don't know if I'll take your advise
on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some others here. You've
got no skin in the game, as they say."
| |
And now you’re saying I’m alone. So it’s only my opinion you don’t want to consider?
|
Alone As stated clearly, it's opinion from those that actually "have skin
in the game" (something to lose or gain) and experience that I'll take more
earnestly than your opinion, in this matter. If by alone you mean the only one
that fits the aforementioned description to reply to the post, then yes, I guess
you are alone, for now anyway
| |
So, either you don’t want me-and-my-kind’s opinion or you don’t want my opinion.
That’s not my feeling persecuted, that’s your dismissing my opinion.
It’s your right not wanting to care about someone’s opinion but, besides being
inconsistent with first having asked everyone’s opinions, you can’t both say
you don’t care about someone’s opinion and then deny you said it.
And, by the way, stop giving me names. I’m not your pigeon or any other pet.
That’s condescending.
|
So it's over between us then 
| |
| | But why all the hostility, are we not best of friends
|
Seems to me your best friend is liquid and bubbly.
|
If you're referring to booze, unfortunately no longer considered a friend
of mine. Stopped even my occasional beer consumption. Nope, this is sober clear-eyed
popsicle speaking. I actually think I'd enjoy your witless repartee better,
if I were a few beers into what is a boring convo.
You used to be fun, my fine forest creature. What happened?
| |
| | It's the middle of the night for you in France. Try not to dwell on thoughts
of me, and what I think. Get some sleep...
|
Don’t mind my sleep, I sleep like a baby: I wake up every other hour and I cry.
Or maybe this one: I sleep very well, some nights I even sleep more than once!

| Could be good, could be evil too.
As was already discussed, spamming would be bad  .
Best would be to get a daily/weekly briefing by mail on which shop own most of
the WL we have defined according to some preferences (country, condition, ...)
WITH also extra suggestions outside search criteras as a bonus and smart addition
to a simple matching algorithm.
These extra would be separated from the others, quite the same as what ebay does.

| I don't think so, sharing WL AFAIU it is send WL to a buddy for instance,
you know, kind of BL awesome new feature, quite far from what you've suggested.
