What are you talking about? The forum has a new running clock which I think is a nice addition!

I not sure either... lol Sure someone gets my point..

But I wonder how long the clock will stay.

[yanks12025]

Just curious . . . . Any examples of "over $500" items which collectors are sitting on out there?

I've seen a handful of posts with items over $500, but deleted quickly. Most of the time, I think they were basketball jerseys and acouple bats.

Because the forum members are asking for it ad nauseum, and I don't see the downside to it. There is no more or less liability to the forum by increasing the limit. The hockey forum does it without problems. Why not satisfy the requests of the majority of forum members if it doen't hurt the forum in any way. I don't understand the logic...

Dave

Link to gockey forum please?

Have always wondered where the hockey collectors are.

Wow.

At least I'm not the only one getting the Gestapo treatment around here.

Thanks for taking the heat off of me for a moment fellas.

(At least until this gets deleted. In 5......4.......3.....2.......).

I reread your intent and see my closing the thread unnecessary as long as we keep this on topic as it gets tiresome. This is what I was writing when I previewed before I saw your last post.

Dave,

The last update on the transaction platform was 6 months ago. If you want an update you email Chris.

Since then the GUU has started its ties to 8D Auction, it has priority over the Transaction Platform. This is understandable from a business perspective.

There are times when I would have benefited from a over $500 to sell an item and made a transaction through private emails instead or listed the bat on Ebay. I see the strength in have a higher limit to allow room for negotiation. On the other side, how many threads have we seen where people complain about being burned (ie. not getting the item) for items bought on the forum. So I see both points of view. Personally, I would be willing to pay a fee to sell an item on the C2C section.

I don't see how this add to what has already be talked about for this topic but that is my opinion and you asked for it.

Regards,

Joel

The liability isn't the issue. They don't want high dollar transactions being cut without them getting a piece. Thats smart business. Why allow others to sell 1,000s worth of stuff on your site without compensation?

Everybody is frustrated because no forum moderator will actually come out and tell the truth, their answers make zero logical sense. It's obviously about the business interest of GUU, which is totally understandable.
They either want to steer all high end items towards their auctions (why wouldn't they? just come out and admit it, nobody would be mad), want to start a pay-to-sell classified section (again, understandable, just give us a target date for the launch) or they're just lazy. The liability argument is weak and almost insulting.
Just come to grips with the fact that they're trying to figure out the best way to make money off of this highly visited site but won't admit it and it's taking a long time to figure out on their end.
