just a suggestion, why don't we have a classifieds forum rather than / on top of just ads?
some other forums, they restrict posting in classifieds access until you've had your account 30 days or something like that.. that way you can recognize people, post comments, see if other people called dibs first, and you can post vouches for good sellers so other people know what they're getting into.
plus you can use the search function then..
i do like classifieds ads because you get them in categories, but there aren't too many new things up there every day so..
Mods - i know it's a lot of added work and i'm greatful for the job you do. just a suggestion.

I have seen it as a forum on other sites as well, not sure how i feel about it. You lose organization. I think perhaps in the classifieds ads should expire after 2 weeks with an option to renew, sometimes there are just too damn many things that have already been sold taking up space

I think a Classifieds Forum similar to www.rx7club.com would be most beneficial to seller and buyer. You can't browse or post to the classifieds forum unless you're a registered user (would help to keep down the spam/scam posts). You'd have separate sections for Vehicles for Sale, Parts for Sale, and Seller Feedback. The search function would make browsing through them a breeze. My $.02 The current classifieds are irritating at best with cross-postings all over and items in the wrong sections. I've stopped browsing them because of this.

Same here. But people are registering on this site just so they can post crap/scams. For example, the guy that has side skirts posted everywhere doesn't even have any posts. Maybe a 30 day waiting period would help. Or even something like the profiles on this site- if you wanted to post something in the classifieds, you would have to wait for it to be approved by a mod. Then the mod could decide where to put it, and nothing would be double posted.

It would be a bit of work to clean up. Once cleaned maintaining it would be ok. I like some sort of criteria to list, but how realistic is that for the genuine people with something to sell? Some one metioned Grandma's Contour in another thread; what about the family who inherits Grandma's Contour and just want to sell a part or two? A person who has no real interest in the CEG (Blasphemy!)Granted that would be small percentage, but a consideration.
I personally do not have time to do it.

Ok, well as long as it was approved, it would be ok, i guess. Any way to give me and kermit, or just one of us, etc, temp mod rights just for that forum? Or something like that?
