1 ped Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yep we’re sorting it, no worries We'll probably make a box which will appear under the price saying 'Location - recommended' Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. The 'chit chat' may be happening because there's a degree of interest in the item for sale. It's a good place to discuss details publicly. I get your point that some items get bumped to the top more than others, but I think it's a small inconvenience compared to what you can get in open discussion, with updates etc. I like it how sometimes you see a bass for sale, and a previous owner chips in with useful details that the seller didn't remember fully or things like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ped Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 To make it work we have to customise the default software which is no easy task. However we have recently started a mirrored forum which were using to test such mods before rolling them out in the live site. We’ve just installed the marketplace section and tested it so the mods will start soon, and as soon as we can confirm it works, it’ll be live here.

Isn't it a no-brainer that prospective buyers may want to try before buying? The problem is that @charic started a new job in the interim. We’ve got the location field done but it needs pushing to the live site. Hopefully soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fleabag Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 That would mean turning all For Sale forums into no reply forums, just like the Items Wanted section. Is that what you're saying ?

-2 Schnozzalee Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I have to second this - It's so frustrating to have to ask location on pretty much every thread. Could do with a flag or something as well, as I'd prefer not to buy from overseas, but I can't be the only one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
