Do you walk into Walmart and start telling everyone you see that x item is cheaper on Amazon?

 

Feel free to pm the poster with a lower offer, but the OP sets the price, whatever they want it to be.

And we all know this is about a certain boardie who arrived recently and his only contribution has been to threadkrap in 3 different threads. #KeepingItClassy

Calling out prices in a sales thread. Helpful or tacky?

 

Sometimes a book sells within seconds, sometimes it's still sitting there a month later.

 

The book is hot, but the price is not. This board has money, no doubt, but sometimes great books just sit there, and you know we are all thinking the same thing: "The price is too high."

 

But if that is mentioned, the pitchforks come out. Even if someone is just expressing what others may be thinking.

 

Thoughts?

 

Ask Columbia Comics.

Also I am not trying to single anyone out. I have just seen it recently, and curious about the taboo.

I am and it's perfectly appropriate to do so. I'm hoping he gets a strike already. It's been ridiculous. And I will also state that I have notified on his posts in 3 different threads requesting he get a strike for threadkrapping.

[Wolvie1]

I completely disagree. As long as it is done politely, it is necessary even. This is not eBay, where there is no discussion, this is a forum, and as long as you're respectful, any comments on topic (i.e. from interested parties) should be allowed IMO.

 

[Red84]

And in case anyone was wondering, I was specifically addressing Wolvie1 threadkrapping in 3 threads today.

Good thing it'd not up to your opinion go discuss a books value somewhere else not in someone's "booth"

[Iceman399]

The influx of facebook tools has been pretty heavy recently.

 

Has it ever.

Well, you are wrong.

 

Welcome to the Boards!

[Wolvie1]

I didn't even notice that you're probably talking about my posts here.

 

Sorry if it has offended anyone. I thought that this was a forum where discussion was open.

 

Is it not?

[Red84]

Annoying troll is annoying.

No. The rules are different here. Take some time to learn this place before you continue to take steaming dumps in sales threads.

[StingerMcK]

Well that escalated quickly

[Gotham Kid]

Well that escalated quickly

 

Your fault

UNWRITTEN MARKETPLACE RULES:

Warning, Spoiler:

If you are new here and are interested in buying books in the marketplace, please understand that the Marketplace on these forums is a 'buyer beware' environment - it is your responsibility to do your own research to avoid overpaying for an item. If a member is misrepresenting their items or price history, take it to the Discussion Thread.

 

You are also responsible to review the Probation/Hall of Shame List , this list is maintained by the community to help members avoid those who have had problems selling on the forum or outside of the forum between two board members.

 

There is also a Kudos Forum in the marketplace which is reserved for positive feedback only, to find a Kudos thread use the options at the bottom of the marketplace & sort by thread-starter to find their Kudos thread.

 

The general law of the land is that "a deal is a deal" - if you are contemplating a purchase, choose your words carefully to ensure that your intentions are understood.

 

In general, opinions are shared freely on sales taking place elsewhere. People often question price, grade etc...that type of commentary is NOT allowed in any active sales threads, disrupting a fellow board members sales thread is considered threadkrapping - the forum moderators will issue strikes for disrupting sales threads.

Actually, yeah.

 

A couple of those stores have started price matching Amazon....so I tell the manager himself if it's cheaper on Amazon.

It certainly does matter that one is polite, but that is not the real point. Each place has its customs and conventions of what is considered proper manners in a given situation. Here, simply, it is not considered polite to make negative comments of any kind in a person's sales thread.

 

What you are doing is the equivalent at a real time convention of standing up on a chair in front of a seller's booth and yelling out to the whole convention floor that you think something is wrongly priced.

 

If you did do that regularly in a real time convention sooner or later security would come and escort you out.

If you want to question a person's price send him a PM.

 

A sales thread is not a discussion thread.
