Separate Wanted section

Post by Adelphi2 » Mon Mar 05, 2012 11:34 pm

Can we please please have a separate "Wanted" section...

It doesn't look good that there's more Wanted ads than selling ads not to mention the clutter!! :P

Thanks.

Very new here, but on other forums I've used separate wanted sections work well though.

I'd like to see this in place, at the moment it's quite hard to filter through the for sale ads and end up reading a lot of wanted's by accident.

LOL.

The thing is though, how successful are wanted ads, does everyone not want the same thing? And if you already have it, you won't give it away?

Separate Wanted section

I put a wanted up for a dash trim and got it within a week... A wanted section would make it easier for sellers to have a quick browse before making their own thread

That's a little harsh, though very funny and not a little true :lol:

That said I am constantly amazed by what people have lying around, and if nothing else advice is often given as to where to get something outside the forum, especially if you have slightly wider aspirations or an immediate problem.

Same here everytime I have posted I have got the item , ZHP's , Clear Spot lights etc

I do agree that M-Bumpers etc maybe a waste of time but most things tend to turn up :)

I agree in principle, but its then, yet another subsection to delve into. I quite like the current mix as is if I'm honest.
