Some of our thinking was that the BST could help us build our membership a little. We currently close sold item threads when members forget to do it. The feeling is that it should be easy enough for folks to quickly see the closed threads and they may see items already sold and that may cause them to watch our BST more closely, and then, perhaps, take a look at our main forum.

Eventually the sold item threads migrate on down in the listings as new threads are posted.
