"Feelers"

[ethree]

I realize I am a junior member of this forum but I would like to request a change to the for sale thread rules in order to get rid of 'feeler' threads. The feeler threads annoy me and if it's in the 'for sale' forum shouldn't it be for sale? Thanks.

I think you make an excellent point.

Perhaps an entirely new "feeler" forum?

In all seriousness, is it that hard to scroll down to the next thread and ignore the feeler ones?

No, it really isn't I'm just lazy and easily distracted so it bothers me for some reason, and I feel like they are becoming more common.

feelers are right up there with people that call "dibs" on stuff. F'in annoying and a waste of bandwidth.

[JasonC]

I don't mind feelers, as long as they have a general idea for a price that they want for the item.

[FredK]

yeah, "teaser" threads are around 245% worse than "feeler" FS threads.

At least he's honest.

I say get rid of them too. If you just list them up as FS then put a price, people will let you know if you're being ridiculous or if its a good deal.

They say 87% of all stats are made up on the spot :tsk:

I think feelers are for those that are trying to grab an extra buck for something they're selling or are too lazy to find out how much what they have is worth.
Even feeler thread should have to have a price, to give a general idea.
