Generally, discussions work better if you get the gist of the thread to avoid situations like what just happened, haha. Some people like Bigkitty start these topics to induce discussion, not blatant skimming and remarks like it sadly tends to lead to.
Back on topic though, do you think it may be possible to assign collectible duties to a moderator maybe? I know admins are in charge of that, but if it's interfering with their already piled workload than maybe seeking to assign smaller tasks like collectible stocking would be more suited. Although collectibles aren't a major life or death thing for me, it's clear that many users have opinions and suggestions to improve the overall circulation and fairness of accessibility. Then again, it's just another topic for discussion, as this thread goes now though, it's pretty much borderline hostile no matter whats posted.

I don't get why the topic is hostile. I thought the OP was just presenting a topic for discussion, and maybe people took it as whining, when it didn't seem that way to me at all.
Anyway, clearly the collectibles are supposed to be a small fun part of the forum, that for some users has become a bigger part of their forum use. That means it's actually been a successful idea, that is interesting for people to participate in and discuss. No matter how busy mods/admins are, I'm sure they are glad about that and want everyone to be involved. They just don't want whining, complaining, or harassment.
I like Party Poison's idea. I think if it is possible to do, it would really add to everyone's collecting enjoyment.

Though, I agree mods are probably just as busy. Compared to admins maintaining a whole site is the whole picture I was looking at though.

The mods actually cannot restock the shop as it is an admin only power that actually by the coding of the extension that allows the shop, cannot be given to a moderator.
The thing is, if someone buys a bunch of something, then starts selling them for a profit...that's perfectly fine to me. They're creating a market and the trading of collectibles is part of the fun.
What I'm worried about is the situation where there is a limited number of an item, someone buys a bunch, and either never sells them, or they stop using TBT all together. Putting a limit on how many items a person could buy from the shop, in the first place, would prevent this from happening as much.
As for restocks, IDK how hard it is...so I can't suggest anything. But a schedule would help. Even if it was like this, random items will be restocked:
On the 1st of each month, sometime between 12 AM-12 PM EST
On the 15th of each month, sometime between 12PM-12AM EST
Then people can check during those times, if they care. And it would only be 2 time, which I'm imagining wouldn't be an overwhelming amount of work.
Just some suggestions, I'm sure I'll be told if they are flawed. lol

I don't really care anymore because nothing will change. I'll get the cherry when I do.
But some suggestions could be program an auto-restock, if possible, so the admins don't have to worry about it
Or restock more than 5 at a time.

I understand the Owners have more important things to do than restocking the shop, but maybe they could just restock the cherries one day a month? It doesn't even have to be the same day each month and they don't even have to announce it either. Those who want a cherry (like me) would just have to check the shop each day and if the cherries are there; great, let's buy one! If not; let's try again tomorrow. (Of course, then the question is; how much cherries are restocked each time? I'd suggest having them be unlimited on the day they are restocked, but at the same time, I do understand that the cherries are supposed to be harder to obtain.)
