A thought for Making sales threads easier to find after day 114341

Masculinity takes a holiday. EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user
Sometimes I go to search for a sales thread I can't think of any keywords in the title. So I have to scroll through screens until I find what I think might be the right thread. Seems it would be easier if we all agreed to follow a common format that is easily searchable? I'm thinking it would be something like: "Sales Thread" "Username" "Date" "Details". So If I were to start a new sales thread the title would look like this: Sales Thread Ebaymafia April 2021 CBCS Raw Grade Keys
That way there would be multiple reliable ways to search for the thread by keyword. Thoughts?

On the left hand side of the screen, on my tablet, are the tags that people can use. There is a generic "for sale" and a "certified comics for sale" tag to use. Have you tried clicking on one of them?

I like the idea!!! It would make it easier to find more recent for sale threads. Mind if I borrow your naming convention?

Absolutely. I will use it if I put up another sales thread or redo my existing thread of Ebay listings.

@Jesse_O I'm trying to find one of the very first threads I ever started. It was back in August or July of 2019. Assuming I didn't use any tags, any suggestions?

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
@EbayMafia click on your profile and scroll down. It'll show all the threads you've posted in or created. You'll have to click a bunch to find the early ones.





There's actually a better way to do it. Click on your topics, then the more threads button at the bottom. It'll load more threads this way each time you click than if you do it through your profile.

@flanders beat me to it!!! That's exactly how I would do it. But if you listed an oddball comic, it might be easier to just search that.

Thanks @flanders, that was quite a journey. I think I learned a lot about myself in the process,lol. Seems at least twice a month I get involved in a thread that ends up with a padlock next to it.

one thing though...only threads who have been tagged with the 'for sale' tag will show.

I think only the initiator of the tread can do that?

For those who wish to use it, just going to repeat my formatting recommendation so it doesn't get lost in the conversation:

The year is probably unnecessary, but it will help with searches I guess.

seems like it would be simple enough to make a pinned "sub" board in the upper section containing all classifieds and for sales

as for finding sales threads, I just remember the WHO it was then click on their name and bring up their recent posts...usually it will be the last two or three posts they made and simple enough
