Disappointed with the "Want to Buy" section of this forum

[ray1970]

Seems like the "For Sale" section gets quite a bit of traffic as do the "General Discussion" type sections. But seems like there aren't many people who look through the "Want to Buy" section to see if they can help a fellow board member out. If anyone posts a "want to buy" ad anywhere where it might actually get a little traffic then it is moved to the "Want to Buy" section to be put out to pasture.

Sorry. A little bored and just had to vent I guess. Have a good evening!

There's a section for wanted, why would those posts go anywhere else? Maybe no one has something to sell you?

Unnecessary whining...

I frequently visit the WTB section. I just never have anything anyone else wants that I would get rid of.

Same here. Got lots of crap, nobody wants to buy it.

I saw something interesting on another forum last night. There were a couple of guys looking for stuff that they just put in their signature line. I don't know if it works but I don't see why it wouldn't.

I click on New Posts, usually don't browse any specific forum. Everyone needs to put a really good description in the title of the posts, if I see "WTB: Ruger 10/22", that makes sense to me. I don't have one for sale, I move on.

If the title reads "I need stuff..." "looking for..." and not further information on the thread title, I'm not inclined to look at the thread in depth.

All about marketing. I'm not going to dig through 100's of threads in the wanted section unless I'm really bored for some reason. (can't say that I ever have browsed WTB section yet)
