Some ideas

I know NS is always looking out for suggestions so here's some I came up with.

-Never ending threads. Threads that assimilate all the pages together into one, but with some clear divider as you scroll down that tells you the page. Would make it a hell of a lot easier to search through threads via ctrl-F. This could work by either loading the next one as you scrolled to the bottom, or some sort of "view all" option like online shopping.

-Verified seller checkmark. Once you sell a certain amount of items with certain positive ratings, you become verified. Not completely necessary, but it would be nice for us sellers/traders to be more "officially" recognized and would help our sale threads look more attractive. I thought of this after seeing nyles.'s thread today and thinking that he always hooks it up in his sales.

-Sort by "new" option for threads. Something I've already stated, but would be especially useful for sell/trade

Again, just ideas here. Throw in some feedback and/or your own ideas

Some nice ideas! I think the sell/trade forum as a whole could be used soo much more by NS. They could make it a more official system and judging be the 250,000+ users this site gets, it would be really popular. Im thinking something along the lines of Ebay, including your system for official sellers as well as newbs. It would have to be balanced out well so that someone like me who hasn't sold anything wouldn't be at a huge disadvantage to you guys, although you should definitely have an "approved seller" sticker or something.

I really want a more reliable way to buy stuff in Sell/Trade. I've heard several stories of people getting ripped off.

Regulating sell/trade is madness. Some system like eBay would be nice, but this is NS and its dedicated yet small group of staff. eBay has a few more resources.

Im thinking more just NS taking advantage of the thousands of freeskiers that visit this site from around the world. Probably far too ambitious lol, nevermind.

What about a picture gallery attempt at selling? Like what TGR has.

Yea, the sell/trade section could be amped up into an ebay style thing. It would be so sick, since you always get awesome deals anyways

Never ending threads shouldn't be that hard to program.
