Tip For The For Sale Section

[ashneel]

Hey guys

just a small suggestion for the for sale section which I think would make life way easier for both sellers and buyers.

people who are posting on the wanted and for sale section especially the parts and accessories section normally just post "I have blah blah blah for sale make an offer or call me on 0411111111" with no location, price or pics and then you get a whole thread cluttered up with people asking the same thing for the seller to post about "can we have location. price. pics"

would it be easier to have like a layout that everyone has to follow?

for example:

For Sale or Expression of Interest threads

Prefix thread title with FS or EOI

Item:

Location:

Item Condition:

Reason for selling:

Price:

Payment Method:

Extra Info:

Pictures:

Wanted To Buy threads

Prefix thread title with WTB

Item:

Location:

Item Condition:

Reason for purchase:

Price range:

Payment Method:

Pickup Method:

Extra Info:

iv seen this used on other forums and have used it myself and it makes life selling and buying a whole lot easier.

Just a small suggestion.

Thanks

Ash

haha, how funny!

Just today I was browsing in the for sale area and I realised that I hadn't re-added that since the upgrade of the forums and tonight I scraped together the code from last time... What a classic.

I should be able to have it working over the weekend.

lol shweeeeet

also regarding to people not using it if you have a mod that only monitors the for sale section he/she can like approve it before the item goes for sale to make sure the right codes are used. if its not the item dosnt get listed in the for sale or wanted section.

If we did that then we'd have major delays before posts were approved. The forsale mods have normal lives to lead as well

Generally if you have half a brain and want your product to sell them you will take the relevant steps to achieve that goal. Ie using the template.

actually what needs to be done is either sort the business traders into sections/markets, or allow them to have examples of their goods in the part where it says "this is the traders thread for racespec" etc.

there are too many now to keep track of what they are selling without opening all of them to check
