Default Buy sell public service announcement

Editing the thread title to say sold. Double click the title line and it will open a box allowing you to edit the title. Don’t double click the title as this just opens the thread . Editing the title to sold makes it much easier for us to keep the buy sell section cleaned up by eliminating sold items. If it really isn’t working for you, then use the report a post and let us know that way.
Just posting sold in the ad means that we have no idea the ad is to be deleted unless we happen to open the ad.

Please include your location and price when you post an ad as per buy sell rules.

“Out in the Sticks” or “somewhere in Alberta” doesn’t cut it . Not asking for your address but your town or nearest town .

The buy sell section runs much more efficiently if we read the guidelines posted there and follow them.

Cheers

Great post, thank you very much. Especially the part about location.

I don't understand why sellers won't put down a location.

A map coordinate or XYZ airline code instead of an actual town is cute. But that tells me the seller actually knows the buy/sell rules and won't abide by them.

If you open your ad and hit the edit icon in the lower right corner you can then scroll up to your ad title and type Sold as well. No double clicking this way for us challenged users.

Ah, you're a fellow computer person, I see.

That's how I count... One, zero, one, zero, one, zero... Etc.
