SECOND HAND SECTION Plz Read

[Nick B]

It's been a major gripe of mine for ages & I've given up going on about it as nobody on the admin team wants to be trawling for sale threads looking for mr meaners I'm sure. Maybe tho a sticky mentioning the practice is frowned upon & privileges may be taken away for repeat offenders?

Hehe Martin...that made me laugh

***SOLD***

LOL good one ;-)

You can close the add without bumping it
just go to edit then advance edit add by adding sold in the title and changing price to sold

scroll to the bottom and add to the tick box where says close

Then finish as normal

Once done it will be locked and closed

That will teach me for replying at the end of my break when I should have been back at the machine.
& it's the major flaw with predictive text on this flipping iPhone I spend all my time proof reading what it thinks I meant lol. Hang fire though depending on who I was talking about,
Mr Meaner, hmmmm maybe I was right!
But then I would have to put mrs meaners in also to just to be politically correct.

Thanks for the comments and feedback all, most useful.

Broadly speaking, I'm in agreement with what's been proposed, so, in the short term, I'll merge any threads stating now sold etc into the original post, which will knock the thread off the main page (usually).
Naturally, I'll PM the OP with the how to instructions, repeat offenders may lose their rights as per normal rules.

As an aside, can I ask if it's good practice to list every item on a different thread, some like to do this or all items 1 thread ?

Thanks

Hi Maxw, thanks for the tip on closing, that makes a better solution for me. Just done my first sold and close without bumping. Just knowing how to do it. Useful thread.

i list items seperately as i cannot make additions to adverts with people knowing about it without incurring your wrath for bumping....
i have a lot of bits to sell as a result of buying things here and elsewhere only to discover its not what i thought i wanted. so i list them seperately.
The whole point of the section is to make it easier for people to obtain parts they need at a good price but all these rules and regulations just make it more likely to stop people using it.
we should be trying to think of ways to stop members getting ripped off.

I would like thanks Most that have taken notice in forsale section, but I see there are still pretty of bumpings going on gripe no2 continues

There should be a limit to how many posts can be made in one day by a seller & it should also not be on a day when other threads from the same seller are bumped. I see lots of people decide to sell stuff to fund the next spending spree & quite often totaly selfishly post up listing after listing with the fate of others forsale posts scrolling off the front page in quick order. It's as bad as bumping in my opinion. If people were to use the forsale section responsibly & with others in mind it could work brilliantly but at the moment it's like a New Year's Day sale at a department store & who evers more ignorant of others seem to be the winners.
