The New Marketplace Rules are Too Restrictive

11x14 film holders are in demand.

Actually I need to list some things for sale. Doubt they'll sell here. We'll see.

[SARCASM] How can you doubt that your things will sell? This piddling little bulletin board is the only web site in the universe where LF equipment can be offered for sale. That's why grumblers about the for sale section's rules are so upset. Its here or nowhere. They don't like the lack of alternatives. [/SARCASM]

I like the new format. In particular, it's much better than the previous rules. They made moderator intervention almost a certainty. This new format dramatically cuts down the need for moderation. Not to say, of course, that moderation is a negative. More to say that, better to have a system that runs itself.

As a seller who usually begins by shooting high (in sales price), the new system pressures me to begin with a more realistic sales price. Listings get the most visibility, when they're still on the first page. Beginning with a high sales price pretty much throws that advantage away. I think that we have to admit, in this regard, the new format is more favorable towards shoppers.

The current rules just prove that the management cares absolutely nothing about buyers or sellers.
They correct a contrived problem that does not exist in reality.

There were occasions in recent weeks when I could have added requested information to FS/WTB threads.
This would have benefited both the seller and the prospective buyer.

Since I was unable to post the information, everybody lost out.

Leigh, you're getting inflexible or unimaginative in your old age.
