If you had the power to ban certain items on Title Traded, what would you ban?

I nominate Harlequin Romance books. I often have to scroll thorugh pages & pages of this crap. Half the covers show some muscular guy dipping a woman who seems to be smuggling 2 bean bag chairs in her bra; yet the man has the mysterious power to stare deep within her eyes instead. I've seen people buy these books at 5 or 10 per dollar for the sole purpose of posting them on swap sites (some libraries/flea markets sell huge bags of 20 or more for a dollar. So let me get this straight...libraries can't get people to read this junk for FREE, but people still post it on swap sites, diluting the quality of the site's overall inventory. sigh.

Anyway, What slow moving items get on your nerves?

That's quite possible, Jord. If it's any consolation, my appearances are rare. It's nice to see that NYT has a sense of humor

I would ban minimum orders... Except for vhs which cost more to mail...


I would like to add that I have the super-natural power to look into a woman's eyes, instead of her bean-bag-chair sized breasts... After all, there's plenty of time to look, when she's not paying attention... Smiler

I second that ROFL x 2!!!

dont let wemon lie to you if your any kind of atractive we want you to stare. It makes us feel atractive. But most wont admit that.

Slow moveing items...... well the ones that anoy me the most are the ones in my invatory that wont go. Wink

Amen to the romance novel thing...they are a major time drain.They seem to come in huge bunches! I mean, how many bodice ripping, swarthy,rippling highland warriors do we really need?

I personally need only one. Okay, maybe two.

Never hurts to have a backup.
