No, this isn't a BST thread
EDIT: Now that I worked with the feature a bit, I think the brackets might be overkill, especially since we have to have mods add them to our title if we already have a thread. What we REALLY need is for people to actually USE TAGS! Label your posts MODERN or VINTAGE so we can all know what you have available! I guess general discussion is where I would put this topic. Sorry if I chose incorrectly. I'm curious...sifting through the b/s/t forums is really time consuming when a person just wants vintage toys as a very large percentage of the threads are just offering modern stuff (or all Marvel or SW stuff...). Is there any plausible way to convince people to put a tag in their thread header? Like [Vintage] or [Modern] or [Non-GIJoe]? That would be really, REALLY helpful, and maybe get more sales for people as well. I discussed simply splitting the b/s/t forums into a modern and a vintage b/s/t forum, but nothing ever came of that. Any other suggestions? I can't be the only one frustrated by it.

What do you suggest for those that have all three? Three different B/S/T threads?
I have made trades to people where they wanted a Modern figure, vintage figure, and MU figure. It makes trading a lot easier to have the whole selection right there. Now, with that being said, I would like to see a standard format for listing items. I think that would help.

That's really good idea...Problem is a lot of people sell or buy vintage and ME. I often search for ME stuff and only find vintage stuff. A way to split it would be cool.

the way i see it... if ya want it, hunt for it. that goes for BST threads too. they're a crap shoot. every once in a while you'll score majorly, but most of the time, it's just crappy.
in the end, it's up to the collector to do the footwork. |

employ the use of effective search tags
if you don't have any modern...then don't use any search tags that would lead people to your thread if you don't have any gi joe...then don't have search tags that say you do i've seen bst threads that have only TF and SW and yet their search tags have ME, 25th, ARAH search tags should be used like the main ingredients listed for soup...if it's not in there don't say it is. |

Honestly, trading on Hisstank is terrible and could be WAYYY better. I love this site but that's probably it's major failing.
Now, I've had some great deals, so don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with the members, or anything like that. I don't know why members are limited to one B/S/T thread - I'm guessing it has something to do with bandwidth - but it really impedes effective trading or selling. Why can't I start a thread with the title - "Wanted: such-and-such item"? What are the odds that someone with what I want is going to actively search every B/S/T there is and have it? It's just really difficult, I find. Once in a while I'll randomly check someone's list and he'll have something I want, but it would be so much easier for everyone if we could just see what's for sale/trade/wanted in the threads' titles. Pretty much every other site does it - why not here?
