Proposal: A pinned thread for Interest Checks

While I agree that this is abused, I have purchased an item from an IC. It was a price that wouldn't last long.

I'd be all in favor of this.

While I might agree with the "list it or don't" sentiment, the idea of having a pinned thread just for IC's seems like a bad one.

What irks me more than ICs is all of the "Proposal:" and "Let's change B&S" threads; partly because it sounds kind of like complaining to me and partly because I liked the old ways better...you know, when B&S was in the top fold and you could click one link and see everything members had to offer. Then again, sometimes I can be very lazy.

If this is just to prevent sale threads from getting 'bumped off' the front page, you'd also have to prohibit anyone from posting banter in any of the sale threads.

This just sounds like complaining to me.

+1.


I don't think they are enough Interest Checks to even warrant this. An even if there were, whenever we vent to make a change to the B&S forum, it always goes off onto different tangents about what else can improve and we lose sight of the initial point.

All that being said, I vote for the status quo.

Perhaps a new subforum for 'Venting' would be more appropriate as such threads have become more and more popular and they have less to do with For Sale threads than Interest Checks do.

I vote for status quo because I only check ICs if it says something I'm interested in as a buyer. I am also not a huge fan of the recent "pics later" trend.

I posted in this thread to bump other sales threads to pg2

I found a couple of aquascutum suits at the local bloomingdale's i was pretty surprised to see them there.

i dont know too much about aquascutum, but these are solid black suits (almost look like very dark charcoal, i would think they are and just mislabled black) in 42R and 44R.

the retail on the suits are 1095 each. which confused me because the fabric/cut /construction was better than anything else they had there and were of sf acceptance levels.

i would think these would be around 1500 suits?

however, they are right now at 500 each marked down

a bit later they will be 65 % off i believe and make them $350 each.

i dont know what line, or what year, but the suits all had a label of some england regent street or something like that.

fyi
