traderoom:- FOR SALE vs WANTED

[WillyChang]

Just requesting... for new items loaded in the TradeRoom, could one please prefix titles with "FS" or "WTB" please.

It would make it easier on the ol' braincell... [xx(]

Couldn't it be made so that one has to click on either For Sale or Wanted when posting an ad.?? to force people to do this? [?]

Heres my thoughts on why i like it the way it is...

but I'm open to persuation.

Sneaky sentiments, Chris... good for the retirees with lots of clicking time, perhaps. One day... [:I]

But of late, its actually getting a bit hard telling the difference between a "wanted" and a "for sale". There's been a couple where it could have gone either way, even after reading the entire prose.

[netsmithUK]

Each item in the main trade room listing is flagged as whether it is a 'For sale' or 'wanted' (http://www.tamiyaclub.com/maintrades.asp) first column)

[WillyChang]

D'oh! Thanks Chris!!

Ok, I've been mainly browsing via the Home page... []

I think we should have the trade page either on the forums or on the home page, not both. It is duplicative to have both

At the moment its easier to have two largely because there is a difference between them.

The traderoom on the club is for members only and allows the hosting of pictures.

The "for sale/wanted" forum is available to none club members too and you have to sort out your own picture hosting. I wanted it this way so people could drop by and sell thier stuff without joing the club proper. I didn't want people to join the club just to sell thier one grasshopper as you could bet once it was sold they would never come back and delete it from thier trade room

Hope that makes sense.

Its only "duplicative" if you choose to advertise in both [] Think of it the way ebay allows you to list in two categories...(apart from having to do it manually of course)
