Why does no one post set sales?

I'm always refreshing hoping some dude will say "Fusk Ebay" I'm just going to sell these LP's at this price, but it never happens.

Shooterali is dude!
I post some and get nibbles, I thought dudes on here were mostly linked y loving vinyls.
I'm old and out of touch with you people
Word! I just got a Lafayette Afro Rock Band + extras in the mail today, from one of his set sales. Top notch like a swatch watch.
I get a good record every month or two from the set sales. You just have to keep an eye out and be quick when there are reasonable deals up.
I was gonna say the same. Ever since the new format, for whatever reason, set sales have fallen way off here. Used to be some crazy stuff for sale. Not sure if it's the fact that all sales are moved to the Classifieds ??? makes them feel more like ads. I don't know. But I think it's something subtle that has changed people's interaction with the site that make sales less attractive for some reason.
He still deals records; I think he just got disenchanted with lackluster response to set sales so he doesn't do them all that often anymore. It sucks putting time into a big list with clips and pictures and whatnot and sell 35% of it for a grand total of $143. It's a buyer's market, though. whaddayagonnado
Just to echo what others have posted above: with the site redesign I don't really notice the sales classifieds anymore. From my perspective as a seller, waxidermy had already been edging out soulstrut w/r/t buyer response. And waxidermy doesn't charge sellers a fee to post in the sales forum. So that's where most of the action is.
I dunno. According to him he has. *shrugs*
I get private dealer-on-dealer action so it's not like I care one way or another.
Yeah, that surprised me that so many people mentioned the site layout. I would say I look at the sales section more often now, because I see them on the right all the time. I click on every set sale I see. In the past, I would only remember every now and again to make a point to go to the sales section.
now it's more like thebreaks.com
and yeah, when there are set sales the new design ensures that I see them right away every time.
ha!
I remember awhile back being openly flamed for admitting that I oogle expensive records on ebay. And another time for saying I liked obscure soul music more than famous soul music. Thats when I knew something had changed.
Although I'm still here and not really planning to sign up for a Waxidermy :p
i hope im not disappointed - my last set sale (was that 2 years ago? shit) i think i cleared like $900 and that was all $3-20 prices i think. i guess i will have to find out the hard way if the Strut doesnt bring it no more.
so yeah - watch the classifieds later in october... ive got stacks and stacks of stuff that must find new homes, holmes.
With the redesign, I tried to make that section as easy to sign up for and automate as possible and increase visibility. Instead I got a lot of backlash... which I can understand. People were used to it a certain way for so many years. But I had to it because the admin was killing me.
It seems like a lot of the record nerds on here headed over to Waxidermy in 2006-2008 which I can't blame them for. and the fact that their section is a free for all makes it a no-brainer for some.
I have had hip hop set sales off and on the past year and sold out of everything. So, I'm confident the shit still is viable. You just need to price your shit accordingly. No one is paying Poopsike prices these days.
2 cents.
