being sold than book deals offered. Perhaps there should be a separate place to sell the credits and free up the area for only book deals. There are too many people trying to sell their credits and not enough people offering book deals. It is frustrating looking for deals  on books and not being able to find them because they get bogged down with so many ads for credit sales.

This is a Book BAZAAR, not a Book DEALS forum.

 

Definition of   Bazaar  (by Merriam-Webster):

www​.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/... Full Definition of bazaar.

 

1 : a market (as in the Middle East) consisting of rows of shops or stalls selling MISCELLANEOUS goods.

 

Definition of   Miscellaneous:

 

1 : consisting of diverse things or members : heterogeneous.

2 a : having various traits b : dealing with or interested in diverse subjects

 

If you're unhappy with the situation, then you need to talk to the site about how they've raised the price of what were allowed to sell our own credits at. Now it takes forever to sell credits. That's not other members fault. And that doesn't mean we should have to be shoved in the dark because we're now inconvenient.

 

We have as much right to post as anybody else.

There are only about 15 credit posts, feel free to post your deal; if it gets moved off of the front page you can bump it back up to the first page.

There is always 5-7 days worth of posts on the main page of the Book Bazaar these days. You can see a full month by just looking at only 3 pages. 

As per the rules of the site, all credit sales are done in the Bazaar and it will remain that way unless there is a need to separate them. Currently the activity of both are low enough that there is no need for separate spaces.

I know I buy a lot of credits and I would like to see a seperate list for just credits so it would be easier to find the credits still available.

Doesn't matter to me. I've never found a deal here that I was interested in. I've bought a gabillion credits. Never had a problem either way. ¯\_㋡_/¯
