I will preface this by saying I do not sell much on here (I deal 99.9% Albert Belle cards) but I do drop into the "baseball - transaction" section often to look around and I thought I would just offer up my 2 cents for how a seller could improve their thread(s) and make it 100x more likely to get a deal(s) done, etc.
If you have any thoughts about my ideas or if you have any of your own, or if you just want to discuss the topic of making transaction threads better, please do
Here I go...
#1 - Post pictures, making sure they are embedded and don't link mobile users to photobucket, etc.
#2 - Post prices and an additional value-add would be giving the range for what they sell for on eBay
#3 - "Mention" members who are listed on FCB as collectors of what you have; the thread is a sticky in the baseball section or use this link: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119553
#4 - Don't be too creative with your title, you want people to at least drop-in for a look
#5 - Don't have too shot of a timeline (ie "tomorrow morning this will all go on eBay") because you want to provide a little time for the traffic to catch-up to your thread or the transaction section in general.
I obviously know none of this increases the overall traffic to the transaction sections on FCB but I think if people took the steps above, they might come back more often. For example, I can tell you not doing #1 , especially linking back to photobucket, just 100% discourages people on the mobile app and you're dead at the door if you're linking people away.
The idea with a sell thread is to get traffic to your thread and make it as easy as possible for the user (buyer) to see what you have (on mobile as well) and to make quick decisions for whether they want something or not... think like they're walking by your table at a show. IMO these steps above might take some additional time but will increase your chances of having a successful sell thread here by 100x.
