Hi many people do like the anonymity that Auctiva provides. I got berated in a thread I was posting to the other day because I had nothing for sale at the time??? BTW I still do not, but I like the discussion boards here. I am sure there is no requirement to have something for sale when you post. It does help when a newbie comes on with a question about modifying a listing to be able to find their listings. Usually they post a generic question about why does my auction look such and such a way but do not provide a link. It would be nice if everyone was required to put a link in their profile that they could OPTIONALLY add when posting if they wanted to.
Gitasan I do like to look at what others have for sale but I am sure some members do not want that.
Maybe someone is in on the ground floor of Widgets and does not want other sellers to see how many they are selling and then trying to find a supply to sell themselves. Too much competition has a tendency to drive prices down as you know.
I would never make it required to have a link.
