I'm willing to bet someone has suggested this before, but is it possible to add a counter in addition to the number of posts on a thread the number of times that thread has been viewed? I think this would be useful because people would be able to tell whether their sale prices and such are unreasonably high or if people just are skipping over their thread. Thoughts?

If you're concerned about people skipping over your thread, give it a more descriptive title. If you're concerned about your prices being too high, lower your prices. Giving threads a view counter would probably be more work than it's worth.

It's probably not actually that much work. Most BB services have it as an option.

I was just thinking that a views counter would provide more accurate feedback on how to tailor your thread. If the views are high but responses are low, your prices are too high. If views are low and responses are low, you should change your title. A views counter would just make it so that you don't have to take a shot in the dark, and could know what you'd need to change. As pyro said, it can't be that hard, because every other forum I've ever used had one.
