WTB / WTS in BnS

Brand · 15th July 2007

Was wondering if we can segregate the WTB and WTS threads within BnS? So if I'm a seller, I will look at the WTB section, and if I need something, I'll go to the WTS section.. right now, it's all lump together and the number of WTS thread far exceeds the WTB threads and in most cases, it overwhelms the WTB requests into obsurity.. well, unless one takes the effort to hunt down the WTB threads..

What do u think?

well... it will cause a bit more load on the server itself.

but its a good idea to add a subsection for WTB's thou.

like i have problem looking for my 70-200 thread also.

Point taken but currently we have no resources to do that yet.

You can search 'WTB' + 'Lens' and all the results will come out.

I think to some extent.. you might consider those browsing for fun, no WTB/WTS specifically. Anyway there might be abit of an imbalance since there are usually more WTS.

Most impt, if you were to put WTB alone, how many people would be going there specifically? Put yourself in as a seller of an item A, would you rather just place a WTS, or slowly browse through all the WTB to see if anybody is looking for that specific item?

Furthermore my exp is that those putting up a WTB thread are usually looking for good buys and they would offer much less than someone who buys off your WTS thread, more than 1/2 the times.

The topic was already discussed when buy/sell was splitted into 3 different category of products. Conclusion was to leave it this current way. Do a search...

I feel that it is quite organized now... I remember not too long back.. mass order and everything else are under the same umbrella... It was more confusing back then.
