Default Can you guys Categorise the classifieds thread

Soon as you post something, you sale is already on the second page. To help this, can you guys categorize the classified threads. Maybe something like

Classifieds

Kits
Radio/Esc/motors
Nitro engines/accessories
Misc electronics (transponder, servo, rec)
Tires/wheels

This will help both Sellers and buyers


Just a thought.

The Buy/Sell along with the Canadian Buy/Sell are both, in my opinion in need of an updated structure. Happy Holidays everyone!

i'll agree with this. i end up subbing to so many threads all the time it gets hectic lol. subsections would be a great addition to the for sale section.

Can you imagine just checking each section to see if the item is posted in the correct section?

How about if I am selling a car and a radio and motor and tires and pit tools, what section do those go in? Do I have to create a separate thread for each item? Talk about maintenance for the seller and us.

Then you got the bump rule, we can't catch everyone but now we have more things to moderate based on your suggestion.

While it seems like a good idea you have to think about every scenario that is out there and then make your choice. Since we have already did this the end result, at this time, is we will stay with the existing format.

onother thing to remember, the forsale thread is not there to make users a profit. it is there so users can sell their old, unwanted, not needed, gear. we have many people on this site that are buying low and flipping this stuff to make a profit. i know we have people on the site buying (or having hobbyshop owners give them ) parts to sell and make a profit.

the for sale forum "is what it is"....dont expect to see much change going on there, except some possible rules changes...
