    Everytime I stick something in the classifieds section for sale a million other simillar items appear on top of it almost straight away. Take just now for instance; I just hit ‘send post’ and in the few seconds the screen took to refresh it was already third from the top. How am I supposed to sell my absolute bargins if you lot keep posting yours as well! I can try bumping it with new pics or offers to swapsie instead of cash, but as soon as I do BANG another thirty people have done the same thing.

    off for a sulk

    Frankly, if you’re not selling an Evil D.O.C to real hardcore riders who’ll appreciate it I’m not interested anyway…

    Do you have a daughter you could throw in to sweeten the deal?

    I’ve just employed a mega-genius sales tactic on my classifieds entry 😀

    ….but i do think there is something weird going on with the classifieds. If i was a cynic i would say alot of non-regular STW and maybe even traders are using STW as a cheaper alternative to eBay/Paypal.

    Jamie – I think that’s always been the case.

    True, but it just seems that much more so since the forced relaunch.

    Well, if they removed the facility whereby old threads with a new reply got bounced to the top it might stop all those annoying ones appearing again and again.

    And of course stop people bumping their threads back to the top…

    encouraging people to use tags might help – and my personal moan – put frame sizes in the headline

    While I’m getting used to the new system in the Bike/Chat forums (glad to see that the Classifieds bumps have been isolated from the Bike/chat ones) It can be a pain for buyers as well as sellers in the Classifieds as the quiet threads very quickly dissapear and are only “bumped” back up after the item has some interest. If the OP’er doesn’t mark it as SOLD trere’ll be a lot of wasted interest, I’ve chased two “dead” threads this week 🙁

    Just a personal view, but I thought that the old system worked a lot better for the classifieds.

    BD- who’s got an evil doc to sell?
    Only last night I was on ebay and offered some money but it obviously wasn’t enough, and did the same today still not enough. I’m guessing it didn’t sell. Has your mate got one of somemink? Mail me please. Ta muchly.

    Have to agree with you. It’s a pain in the @rse having to wade through threads that are days old and have been bumped to the top constantly…..and there are a few regular offenders who consider their sale to be far more important than anyone elses…..b;@@dyu selfish I call it

    Hello andygreener, – if you are serious about the evil, then it is moi who is selling.

    Unfortunately, I have had a better offer than that.

    if you want to discuss then post up your e-mail and I shall contact you.

    As I stuck something on the classifieds 8 hours ago and it’s now 5 pages back I’m in agreement. I’ll have a word with the techno boffins and see if we can work something out to help keep things fair.
