Lets make a WTS/WTT template

[BlasterBob]

Where was the support for a template when I suggested one?

When I first read your suggestion, I thought it was a GREAT idea but thought I'd better not give my concurring opinion since I was just a mere newbie with only a few hundred posts.
If the completed templates are not completed and riddled with blanks (lacking the required information), they could just be tossed into the crapper.

Maybe if this is good enough it can become a sticky. Toss out your ideas, make your own template, or take what ideas have been put out there and we can make a template that can be followed for the for sale sections:



__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________


Title:
include WTS/WTT (want to sell/want to trade) followed by a brief description of the item(s)

Description:
Description of item including condition, round count if a firearm, accessories added, and any other extra information you want to add.

Price: How much are you selling the item for. If it is a trade item, post the value of your item so people know what you think it is worth.

Location: Where are you located at and what areas are you willing to meet at.

trades: If trading, list what you are looking for. If you would consider trading, post that information here. If you don't want to trade and strictly want to sell, state that fact here.

Other information: Please put any other conditions of the sale or trade which could include whether you require a bill of sale, or transfer at a dealer, days you can or can't meet, if you are willing to ship the item and any other information you think people need to know.

Picture(s): A picture is worth a thousand words and will help you sell or trade your item much faster. If at all possible, post a picture.

You just got fed up faster than some of us. Now that we are at that same point, there is a little more support for a template.

Oh I'm not fed up. I couldn't care less about what happens in the trade section. I've just had to manage one much worse before, and that is the best answer. There is no magic bullet that will return the trade section too its days of glory, back when the site was tiny. A template will yield the most noticeable results though.

I am thinking the same thing. then people won't have a choice but to put the info and there is absolutely no excuse if they omit something. solves a lot of problems. sometimes you have to make things mindless I guess.
