Please keep people updated about your item for sale

Postby Jan » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:15 am

We would like to remind those who are placing Items for sale to please click the note at the bottom that says "Click here to receive an email when someone replies to your post above".

We have noticed that a number of replies on 'for sale' item topics are going unanswered. This is not only impolite to those making enquiries but also frustrating for them.

We understand that sometimes those selling items may use private messaging to talk to a prospective buyer - This is quite acceptable but please remember there may be others waiting to know what is happening with your item and please let them know on the forum.

Also PLEASE edit your for sale topic when it's been sold. It is quite frustrating for everyone to see these items weeks or even months later and wonder if they are still for sale.

PLEASE do not forget to edit your for sale topic when it's been sold to say SOLD in the title. It is quite frustrating for everyone to see these items weeks or even months later and wonder if they are still for sale.

Thank you

Hi,
For those who use the For Sale forums to sell items - If you are having a new year clear out - How about going through your older Items for sale and editing them to say Sold or Still for sale?. It really helps to save our members time and effort replying to out of date for sale items and also helps those selling to update their items if they are still for sale.

Just reminding - Please update your for sale topics and don't forget to edit them when they are Sold as there may be members wanting to know if they are sold or not.

Thank you

REMINDER - Please update your for sale topics and don't forget to edit them when they are Sold as there may be members wanting to know if they are sold or not.

Also please ALWAYS answer any general questions on the forum (without posting contact details as these should be sent through the forum message system)

Thank you

Hi Jan. Great forum. However, Would it not be better to be able to completely remove threads where the item has been sold or move them to a new area for sold items? I personally find it a chore wading through pages of sold items looking for things that are still for sale. Just a thought? Cheers

That's a good suggestion. We have been asked that before and have looked into it but it is a mammoth task to move all the posts so far. However, we do ask if people have sold and want the item removed, to let us know and we do remove those, but very often many 'for sale' topics are not edited to say Sold and we can't assume that they are sold. (even though we regularly send out reminders to members to Edit their 'for sale' topics!)

Now and again we do contact sellers personally to let us know if their items are sold, but to do this for everyone who doesn't say whether their item is Sold would be too time consuming. It's a free service and we really don't have time to chase up all the sellers who don't write Sold on their topics.

When looking down the list of items for sale I tend to look at the date they were first posted (the latest ones will be at the top) and if it's more than a month or two out of date I take a guess that the item is probably sold.

I will look into removing all the topics with Sold written on them that were posted from a certain date, maybe that will work, and free up the Items for Sale forum a bit, to help those looking for things for sale.

Thanks again for the suggestion.
