[quote name='Babo'][customspoiler=ForBrevity]I don't think it would slow it down, considering people here do delete their previous post when they make a new post on the new page, yet the thread has grown 5 pages in half a day. In 48 hours it would be 15-20 pages, 20-30 pages per 72 hours. Don't expect people to dig through that many pages to see your post, people don't check this page many times a day and they will just see the few last pages. Heck I even saw that people here made new post looking for the exact thing at the exact price (sometimes even higher, ridiculously) that someone was selling right on the previous page. I bet if making new post is limited to one per 48-72 hours page, after 24 hours, you won't be able to trade anything advertised in your trade post anymore, that's when you must wait for another 48 hours in order to just have luck trading anything...If you're a buyer and you really dig through that many pages to find a seller, well good luck, many things were going on while you digging through 10 pages, you're probably late, The seller didn't have time to edit/delete their post after running out of what they were selling..[/customspoiler]
Not to mention that many deals on store sites don't last over 24 hours, and the prices in many of our trades here are based on those deals.
[customspoiler=ForBrevity]Imo, this thread is fine the way it has been. If you want to sell something so bad, especially when you have many copies of games to sell, check this thread more frequently, make a new post on a new page, delete your previous one to keep the thread clean, you can't just throw a post and wait 72 hours without doing anything and think that will work. If you want to buy or look for a good deal, it takes two mouse clicks to do a search for a good deal here. See a pack deal and looking to join a group buy ? you can't miss those people who are hosting, they are always on the last few pages from what i've seen. You can also make a post looking to join a group buy and get ready to be contacted. If you throw a post and go away you will just miss a lot. But i can agree that a separate thread for non-profit group buy would be nice, whoever suggested that, good idea.[/customspoiler][/QUOTE]
didn't think about this case. it's a great point. i suppose i am, in general, a different type of trader...
