Title: Keep up the pages of out of stock items
Post by: hotbrainwash on February 12, 2012, 09:08 am
It would be useful if we could still read the pages containing information about items that were out of stock and unable to be sold. I think a good way to do this would be to make it so the item could not be added to the cart while out of stock, not show a price on the page, and make it unsearchable and unlistable only viewable with a link. The page would then go back up to being searchable and listable when the item is back in stock with the same link, and then put the "add to cart" link back on the page. This would potentially be useful for both buyers and sellers who would able to speed up their inventory turn over and make more revenue.

+1 for this request.

This would also be helpful to spot scammers who create fake buyer accounts to boost their feedback by buying their own fake free listings then deleting them right after posting a positive feedback to their seller account.

I'm not sure if there are rules on SR that prevent such activity, but if it's possible to do then I imagine this to be common here seeing it's easy to create multiple buyer accounts.
