Petition for the Market Price Summary of Collectibles to be Stickied
- Thread starter Cadbberry
- Start date
Then why can HoundD00mded run the villager thread, they are very similar

Also updated
Just as a note, Hound00med's thread was stickied back when it was simply just a villager popularity list. It didn't even contain any prices it served as just a list of which villagers were most popular. It was not stickied for being a 'price guide'.

But then why is is still stickied today if it gives price ranges for certain tiers of villagers?
Cool! I don't know if this will actually get it sticky-ed, but I am all for trying. 
I always thought it should have been sticky-ed back in the day Lassy ran it, and certainly it should (or a guide like it) should be sticky-ed even after my tenure with it is done. (Now I know why Lassy did it for a year then passed the mike... it's a lot of work, guys!)
Anyways, thanks for the effort. I feel like now, it is even more of a communal effort as people report sales daily via posting and pm's, so if the fear was ever that "one person controls the prices", that's alleviated even more now.

First of all, I have no dislike or hate for the guide as some seem to believe. I think Skyfall knows well that I appreciate it and find it quite interesting to read, as I actually do quite frequently. But I believe it's important that people do not feel pressured into following whatever price a guide says is the price. Now it would seem that most of the community has accepted that already and is quite happy with it, but I don't plan to encourage it more. It's also important that others can create their own price guides if they disagree with the existing one. By endorsing one with a sticky, we're essentially offering a monopoly to that guide.
As for the comparisons to the villager thread, it really just comes down to a different time on the forum back then. I accept that it's not a good reason, but it's the reality. Many of you who have been around for a long time know, the Shop and collectibles have always been my "department" of sorts. Villagers and the Animal Crossing trading boards? Not so much. Back in the time when that thread stickied, nearly 2 years ago now, the former moderator Kaiaa generally was in charge of that board. For whatever reason Kaiaa had, she chose to sticky it right away and nobody was the wiser. (Tina has noted that for a long time, it was simply a tier list with zero prices) Of course things have changed since then, and we tend to discuss these matters with the team or at least ask a couple people first before doing so now to help reduce these inconsistencies.
I don't necessarily disagree that the villager guide is much different, but that's the reason why it is that way. Obviously, it's not very nice to pull the rug from under someone who works very hard on their thread and unsticky their thread when it has been that way for so long, so that's the predicament we've been left in and why it has remained stickied. If say the collectible guide had been stickied for a year, and then Jeremy came along and suddenly decided that it was wrong and needed to be demoted, I can't imagine many would take that very kindly and they wouldn't be entirely wrong to be upset. Of course, looking at it now, it seems that it's been mostly abandoned for quite some time so maybe we will revisit that soon.
This isn't a 100% dead set "no, it will never ever ever ever happen", but I'm gonna need some damn good convincing still. I'm open to any constructive and respectful debate in regards to the first paragraph and my reasons for being against it.

WHAT don't be evil now
Please do not fill this thread with crap like this, especially without even reading the post, if you don't want it to end up closed.
Ok here we go
1: We are simply adding a guide so people actually know what prices seem say a noob came around and had no idea how much a collectable costs, we are there to help them. By making it stickied is so more people could see it, granted some people will feel pressured. But 99% of people are already with this idea and support it 100%. We could add a section saying 'This is user created by previous sales, you do not have to obey it' or something like this. It is here to help people, hell, without it I would be lost.
2: I understand that would be cruel but honestly, he never really edits it anymore. Maybe just get rid of the price thing, no one listens to that really.

Yeah I was adding a point xD, I did read it.
