    Actually want to apoligize for the post.
    Found that only about 1/2 of my listings are actually on sale at 75% off.
    somehow the ON sale function is not working correctly.
    After 3 months at that extreme reduced price ( about 1/2 of comparable listings ).I should be selling out. Which is my intention.
    I only want to list 10-15 of any one Cat # ( instead of in some cases 1,000+ ) and instead of ending listings I decided just to sell them off since the work has already been done, even if I loose money.
    So it was making no sense to me why they were not selling off. Most of my mint is 60% of face ( if the 75% sale worked ).
    I did send a note this morning to Mark and am in hopes this can be fixed.
    Sorry again for the rant, But I am getting an eviction notice this morning over this. So today I am going to go get a part time Job.
    Paul

    Thanks Paul..very mature of you, and I feel for your frustration.
    I have taken a look at your store, and many items are not identified by year or cat numbers. Many are referred to as "UNIDENTIFIED BOX ITEM". Quite frankly, I would never find them or go through the list of out of sequence unidentified stamps.
    And if I look at a specific country and list or sort by cat number, and I take Belgium as an example, where you list 654 stamps, not a single one is identified except as unidentified box item.
    I for one would never go through the list even at 75% discount, and I would also give up on searching other areas of interest after one such bad experience, as I would assume they are all the same (I noted though, scanning through US that cat numbers are listed, but I don't collect US, and I have no idea if it is an exception, or if Belgium was the exception. I just won't waste my time).
    I would venture to guess that with the new and improving Hipstamp capability to search efficiently on cat numbers, or by year, your listings are not going to get many hits from collectors like me. So just a suggestion, take a look at beefing up your listings to provide searchable fields that collector like me search on. The problem may well be with your listings. Best of luck!

    PS: There are 63881 "unidentified box item" listings found in your data base, of which 11682 listings are in the US...so US is sort of up to date since you list over 200000 US stamps...but that leaves a huge number for the rest of the countries. Which ones have cat numbers, which ones don't? which ones have year? I have no idea!
