So what is the rule regarding trades whose sole purpose is to collect and not sell?
To be specific, I'm referring to how nearly every collector puts up items on their side which they are using as an example of what they want, most commonly craft numbers. I collect craft #32 (as well as level 32) and always believed this methodology was within the rules, and I have never had any trouble with it until now.

Here is my trade that was recently closed (I'm not complaining about the closing, nor wanting it unclosed which isn't possible), I just want a clarification on the rules:

Under the excuse this mod used to close my trade, does that not mean that mine and everyone else's trades which involve craft numbers should also be closed, like the following (now updated to allow people to purchase them):

And I have several more collecting trades up on Outpost. What does this mean for the future of my trades, as well as all the others?

The reason those "collector" trades remained open for so long was the lack of support for listing specific attributes in the wishlist, such as craft numbers, effects, etc. The "search" update added attributes support to wishlist items, so there is no reason to allow these trades to remain open anymore, considering the items are not for sale (against the rules) and clog search results. Therefore they will be closed if reported to us.

There is no "new" rule, just reinforcement of a previously neglected rule (for technical reasons).

Thanks for clearing that up. My trades now allow people to purchase these wonderful level 32 items from me.
