Nice.

Up with something for sale

Up with more stuffs to sell, a bit modern for this forum taste, but maybe someone would be interested.

up with new item

PMed

Not sure if it is same model.

How I’d love to automatically lock first posts after a certain time so sales threads don’t melt into confusing, arguably misleading ones like this.

New threads are free of charge. Use one!

And why is this confusing and misleading exactly?

You edited your first post to obliterate sold items. The result is a thread with a healthy number of comments (back on the first page, asking about a Wyse 60, gh1800, HHKB etc.), but none at all about the KPT84 you've actually got for sale. The result is a goofy hybrid of old interest and forced new topic, substituted in underneath them.

Why not start a new thread to sell a new item? What's the point in overwriting an old one? It's not like it started off so well.

another murium post, completely useless as always

why don't you let the few people that bother to sell on this forum anymore use their own threads however they damn please, I don't think any semi-competent person could possibly misconstrue an old selling thread with missing items as anything other than those items being sold

somewhat funny given you spammed multiple old sell threads yourself with complete absence of the intention to buy anything..

do you post in every thread muirium, or only the ones where you have nothing of value to contribute?

This is no way to treat an old and respected member of the forum, shame on you.

Some facts:
- you are British
- you joined the forum in 2021, so you are most likely a Discord troll
- you're probably a Chyrosran22 viewer

Next time please exhibit better behavior or at least show some respect for other benevolent members of the forum. Thanks.

you got "old" right, not sure about the rest lol

You’re not getting any younger yourself, love.

My point remains: blasting away your sales thread looks like bad form, to me. Needless destruction.

I have to side with Muirium here. There's no way to actually read this thread now or even know what it was about in the beginning. That makes all the posts which follow worthless.

Why not start a new thread to sell a new item? […]

Or, as an alternative which fortunately is frequently used on DT, edit the opening post to put old stuff in a spoiler or mark it "sold" or strike it out?

Concerning the quarrel:

You probably mean… nothing of value to you. Certainly Muirium's post was a good reminder.
But of course taking the heat out of the debate does not seem to be your usual behaviour:

Kind of glad I am not the only one who has picked up on Soyuz's track record. I get people being frustrated if a thread gets side tracked but Soyuz just seems down right vitriolic 90% of the time. I suppose you can only expect so much from someone when they unironically use Garfield as a profile picture

This is a common practice to make a big sale thread when the community started to boom back in 2019. The simple reason is to establish credibility, since, unlike reddit market where you have a bot to keep track of past trade, DT forum has nothing like that.

I am not saying it is a flawless approach, but it is better than nothing.

Further, if anyone has pay an ounce of attention to the community in the last few year and take what andj00 says seriously, they are fucked in the head so why would I care?

Fortunately, this thread follows the exact same practice. So. What is your point?

Blasting away at my own sale thread? I think what you mean is you randomly go off at my sale thread, without understanding the context.

You are right, I obviously missed the spoiler at the end of your post.
Perhaps I wouldn't have if you had introduced it with a word or two after all the photos, but still - you are right.

never can escape the exhausting old people, huh?

Given my age, you might soon have to again apologize for what you yourself called a "cheap jab":

I would suggest you switch to learning from experience. It is a rewarding intellectual exercise, you’ll see.

Has nam overwritten anything? All of his previously sold items are held in the spoiler at the bottom of the OP, no? Or were some things zapped entirely along the way, which only a mod/admin like yourself could be aware of?

To counter your personal opinion with an opposing personal opinion: I prefer it when people keep one thread to themselves and put their sold items within a spoiler at the bottom of their post
