The Computer Audiophile Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi Guys, the custom Classifieds section has been retired and the Buy / Sell forum is back to being as simple as possible, and no simpler. To sell something, just click the "Start new topic" button at the top of the main Buy / Sell forum page or click the big green button below. To purchase something, just respond to the topic and work it out with the seller. Exocer 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Or did I miss the magic button? Just add a post to the thread that says sold. kennyb123 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 17 minutes ago, mark2700 said: is it ok to remove ad and replace with updated sale ? the new system has potential customers only seeing the initial ad copy and not the scrolled down updates If I follow what you're saying, people aren't scrolling down to read the updates, so you want to remove the ad and place a new one? This requires manual intervention unfortunately and will be a lot of work for me. Ideally people would learn to scroll down. A less than ideal compromise is to post a new ad with the updated info, but that won't be a perfect solution. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

It's worth a shot to see if it'll work best. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Popular Post The Computer Audiophile Posted April 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 18 9 minutes ago, Jeremy Anderson said: @The Computer Audiophile, A suggestion to solve all the issues above: Add special rules to just this forum that gives authors unlimited time to revise their posts. I know you said “not possible” earlier with regard to editing the title, but enabling editing of the body (and attachments) without restriction would solve the “gotta scroll down” issue. If you think about pricing, people sometimes don’t know what will sell and they may need to adjust the price several times. You don’t want to have to keep posting pricing changes over and over again as capitulation sets in, and you don’t want to encourage potential buyers to sit on their hands because they see you lowering the price every few days when something isn’t getting snapped up. It’s a disservice to the seller. Sellers also might have a typo in their ad that isn’t caught immediately. A post-script isn’t the most flattering place to fix a typo. 😅 Thanks for the great forums and for your consideration! Hi Jeremy, I sooooo wish this was feasible. The single issue stopping me from implementing it is that .05% of people are dishonest and ruin it for everyone. The buy & sell forum has been a hot spot for more fraudsters than you can imagine. If the world was full of people like you, who don't think like they do, we could leave our doors unlocked and are valuables in plain sight :~) If unlimited editing is allowed, the scammers will offer something, make a sale, then adjust the post to show scratches and dents, claiming all along they were there in the first place. It really sucks, I hear everyone loud and clear. kennyb123 and Jeremy Anderson 1 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
