Can we start a sticky for a northeast regional classifieds? Shopping is alot easier when you can either physically see the part or take a day trip to go pick it up.

 

You know, that's not a half bad idea there.

Let me talk it over with our owners in next week's "Electronic Bi-Coastal" strategy meeting and if they're onboard with it, I think that we can do something.

 

Till then we can do it the old fashioned way, post a pic, hire UPS, Fedex,or USPS, to drop it by the house.........

 

My opinion is , it's not really needed. When you read the classified ad, the sellers location is right there with his/her name 98% of the time. Easy to tell if they're in your region or not.
If you bust up the classifieds in a bunch of regional forums, will we have to search them all just to see what's being listed?
I like just having the one section of classified ads.

Just my 2 cents worth.

 

Agree with firemangeorge, not needed. Besides......

If a "general" Classified Section is maintained, the Wanted or For Sale item reaches a much larger audience........for a much greater chance of sale.

Also JMO.

 

Typed before the coffee really started working, rethinking the idea.

Maybe just a redirect Stcky in the regional forums along the lines of "Click here for Classifieds in your region", or maybe not.

Stay tuned.

 

Does anybody actually browse/graze the regionals?

 

Just my region, it's how we communicate about g2g"s. Well before the facebook page we did anywho.

 

I look at the regionals every day, and we've got to revitalize them, with the exception of Sam's. They've got it together out there.

 

When I look in my region, I hear crickets..................
