I was actually wondering if there was a way (if possible) to completely change how the marketplace system works? I know it's probably out of vBulletin's limits but it'd be nice if you couldn't see other users' comments at all in the posts. Instead, when the sale is complete it comes to a close (or after x amount of days) and then that's that. The only person who would see the comments is the OP instead of the repliers.
This could eliminate the feel that everyone has already taken the sale and give everyone somewhat of a chance.
There are people that lurk that board... and they attack like piraņas.
