Just a thought, since the team isn't busy enough fixing real problems like bugs
and rules....

A quick glance at the calendar shows over 10,000 lots being added per day.

Yes you can filter a search, but doing this daily, and filtering down to a small
number of potential items that might get listed once a day, week or month is
tedious and generally not worth it but makes me think - wouldn't it be good if
for sellers of sets or parts, that they could advertise in a dedicated forum
topic with drill down by sub-category as per the buying function, that they'd
uploaded something for sale.

This would help sellers and buyers alike. If everyone flooded the general sales
topic, it would be flooded, and not everyone is looking for someone's latest
mass inventory of a thousand unrelated parts.

Just a thought - what do others think?

  I don't understand what you are aiming for.
Surely it is of no real interest that the same
old parts are listed and replenished daily by
thousands of sellers? I have my wanted list and
email notification turned on for those that are
rare or infrequently listed, so I get emails if
the specific parts I'm interested in get listed.

What exactly are *you* looking for, beyond that?

~Rae

P.S. And yes, sellers who post that they have
just listed a bunch of parts are mostly wasting
their time. Are you trying to find something
that would substitute, so they don't do that?
That's what wanted lists and email notifications
are for, and they'll eventually figure that out.
Or, if they are sellers only and not buyers,
maybe they won't, but it doesn't hurt anyone


A range of opinions since I next to never use or check email, and find the wanted
list to be quite clunky, hence I've emptied mine.
