Sales Lot seems to be about 50% buy lists right now. On the first page there are 21 threads with "Buy" or "WTB" or "Sell me X" in the title out of 50 threads - and that does not include all of the threads that have buylists inside the thread after the sales segment.
Clearly people like to post buylists, but can they be pushed into a new forum?
I don't see why a new forum is necessary. Buy and sell lists go in one, trades go in another. I'd rather make tagging the thread title BUY or SELL mandatory.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):

I think the BUY/SELL tags being mandatory would be a GREAT idea Annorax. I have to agree with the OP that finding actual Sales threads can be a bit daunting (but can still be done) and I think the compulsory Tags would really help people find what they are looking for.
A seperate Sales forum is definitely not necissary however.
Please, accept that Magic costs money to play, and drop it. A playset of Baneslayers>playset of duals. New Jace>Force of Will. Etc... Not to mention, Legacy is so wide open, that it's easy to build a deck that can perform reasonably well without very many "money staples" at all.
I would love to see the BUY/SELL tags. I'm a big fan of the Sales Lot forum, but I agree that it's shifted towards a larger number of BUY threads (which I have no interest in) so it's become much more difficult to quickly scan the list of threads.
Fan of BUY/SELL tags. I don't think subforums are necessary. There might be issues for people who have both buy and sell lists, which could be addressed by keeping one forum and using both tags on those threads.
On a similar note...is there a better way to enforce people to use HAVE/WANT tags? I think that would clear a lot of things up at once, as well. I'm sick of searching for a card and seeing the same 10-12 people come up.

Also imo, I think either subforums or [BUY] [SELL] [BOTH] tags would be a small improvement over the current system.
