Get a thread stickied (good idea for classifieds)

Good idea, but I agree with limits and for the thread to be posted up for 1 week only. If someone was to pay for a sticky to stay posted until the item sells, it could be awhile. What if the seller has multiple items? That would take even longer.

10 sticky limit @ $15 each = $150 weekly

average 4 weeks month = $600

Thats a pretty nice donation imo.

 
The idea is good at heart, but it puts too much responsibility on the mod team to keep up with this, also there will be issues with people complaining because this is a free site, and the controlling of who what and when will get out of hand.

 

I commend Justin for the positive motivation behind the idea, but I feel the end result could be very problematic.

 
There is no guarantee that you will sell your items any faster stickied, than doing it the way it is now. I'd rather donate from the heart and not ask for anything in return, like a stickied for sale thread. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Although I think it's a decent idea, I'm with Denim on this one.

 
I vote no. Ebay used to be cheap as hell to sell something. And then they started adding all these fees and shit. And before you knew it they wanted a cut of your profit. Costly stickies is a bad idea... it could very well lead to fees on top of more fees.

 
I wonder how many pages of stickies we would see before non stickied sales start?I might pay to be able to make personal stickies in the classified section. Or maybe

sort on my replied to threads.


It would become standard to pay if you wanted your thread to be seen. All you would see is stickied threads.

 
i definately do not think its a good idea at all...

think about it, everyone would be getting there thread stickied. good thing is we have alot to go to the donation, bad is it does nothing for us.

just because its stickied doesnt mean people wanna buy your item faster, people buy something that they are looking for not something thats stickied.

it would be to much work and hassle for the mods and everyone to go through.

and maybe the classifieds do move fast, but i think what we have right now is perfect. just keep bumping your thread, nothings wrong with that. one of the best things i love about this site is everything is free, you dont have to pay a dime for anything, and i know just because you can pay to have your thread stickied doesnt mean you have to do it. but overall i think it is a bad idea, and no offense to the OP. and actually thought it was a good idea till i kinda sat back and looked at the scenario a bit

 
I have a better idea:

I would pay to have the ability to block certain for sale threads so I wouldn't have to view them ever again. You know, the threads with the same over priced items that keeps getting bumped for months on end or threads that just don't interest me.
