Obviously if no one is buying your stuff that means no one wants it. When ever someone posts that type of post it’s always some absurd crap like “8 Vintage Buttons Mixed Metal Steels Escutcheon Carved MOP Metal Loop Shanks” and another ridiculous one was that someone was selling some tv parts 😂.

I agree with you. Yes they do. Just as the OP has the right to post here.
You're also right, some folks don't have the ability to just scroll past.
Just like you didn't have the ability to scroll past this post

The difference between me and the op, and also yourself, is that you publicly post to moan about other peoples posts, but I am defending their right to post here. So, I do have the ability to scroll past, but I can't. You have the ability to scroll past, but you won't. You participate on the threads, and then you start your own threads to moan about them. Strange behaviour.

I don't do anything like that, and I rarely start a thread.

Just maybe the OP is purposely trying to draw attention to himself in hopes of more views/buyers on his item:)

I think I have your rules clear.

It's ok to PARTICIPATE in any thread that you don't like.

Just don't be the one to START it.

Gotcha!

I don't agree with the 'if it doesn't sell, no one wants it' argument.

Some items are long tail. I had a book that was listed off and on for 5 years, but it did sell. It was over $100, so I'd say it was worth the wait. The right person had to be looking for it, as it was pretty rare. Just this past week I sold a book that had been listed for years. Same goes for collectibles. We all don't sell cell phones, cases, and things that sell all the time. I would hate selling stuff like that. Give me vintage items any day!

Well, those things are kind of connected, though. Long tail items are long tail specifically BECAUSE there aren't many people who want them, and if you're selling that kind of thing you need to be aware of that and be ready to wait it out. You can't expect quick turnover if all you have is long tail stuff-- I've had stuff sit for three years before it finally sold.
