Can we split the marketplace between dealers and private sellers?

I think it would be nice if we had separate subforums within the marketplace for dealers and collectors or private sellers.

I would like to buy watches from private sellers, but their ads are completely drowned out by the sheer volume and large amount of watches that dealers stock.

Is this something that would be considered?

Too much work to break them out for little to no benefit, for me. I just look and find what I want and then vet the seller. It makes it easier for me to buy from our Trusted Sellers as it is difficult to safely purchase from individuals with little to no history. I would assume this is about money, asking/selling prices.

I’m like the way things are laid out with the boutique sellers and private sellers

Why not transfer all sales to a sub forum and remove them from all other sub forums including ‘new posts’?
If we want to buy a watch we would have an easy point of access.

This would save us from having to go through pages of duplicated watch for sale posts from private sellers and boutiques?
A quick check shows that 65% of the posts in the first 200 posts in “new posts” are duplicated for sale adverts?

Are the watches for sale posts and pictures now more than all other posts?
