| Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....
So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.
Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

It could be a good idea, reminds me of my suggestion for an American subforum
besides the language specific fora as I often find myself ending up in threads
that I have no knowledge of and that have no relevance to me, but then again
the entire forum needs to be chucked and replaced by a proper 21st century forum
in general so let's not try to fix an oldtimer with tape and elastic bands.
Anyway, actually I wonder - and this is an open question - are sales posts any
good at all? As a seller I've posted several and never noticed any effect,
and as a buyer it's time consuming to plough through as it is not immediately
clear if the sale and/or the store is serious and relevant. Maybe just get rid
of them in general or do others have thrilling sale experiences?
Anyway I'll vote yes.

I think that sales posts are effective for rare/unusual parts.
A general percentage off does not really interest me, small chance the seller
has enough of the important items on my wanted list to trigger an impulsive order.

Very good idea. I would even make it more generalistic: based on a user preference
only show item in stores that are in a certain list of countries. That's
because as a European I have hardly any interest in overseas based stores. Because
of two main reasons:
1) import tax / customs charge a lot where I live, making a sale often very expensive
2) when comparing prices of an item, I want to compare prices in the EU because
USA/Canada is often much cheaper
