Too true H , when i went to post up my mates exhaust for sale on weds night ithought i was in the wrong section ,f**k me it looked like breakers alley .The problem is because so many of us want spares/parts, it dont take long for a single ad to disappear off the page and not get spotted.Which is why the seller then has to keep using bttt to get his item noticed.Would be better to have a seperate section labelled ' breaking ' and anyone with more than 1 - 2 items sell there stuff here,allowing people with single items a fairer chance of getting there stuff spotted.
My exhaust might not have sold if you hadn't noticed it early on ,and contacted deano

Cant understand why they don't use a single thread anyway. If I'm after a particular part for a particular model it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that what I want is probably in a thread for that same model being broken. The only exception is if its a non standard part.

I'm starting to get a bit miffed with people selling huge amounts of completely non scooby parts (pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Nearly the whole first page was random stuff the other day.
Isn't that what eBay is for?

there is a general for sale and a car parts/accessories for sale thread, most people tend to just use the general thread, a bit more control of this would probably help.......
but i agree, the addition of a breaking/trade thread would be a good idea

Do away with the general section and have a Cars breaking section, Car parts section and then a non car parts section?
If you really want to go for it, split the car parts section also, into classic, bugeye, blobeye etc. There was an argument about this in another thread that if youre looking for Brembos to fit a classic, where yould you look?? But I believe folk on here are clued up enough on this sort of thing to know what section to look in.
Yes, I break cars and advertise in both. I placed two identical threads in the two sections and got way more replies in the general section.
I tried keeping just a ''breaking thread'' but nothing much sold until I had stripped the car, taken pics and posted separate threads then everything pretty much went??
I agree, the ''general section'' is a bit too vauge and needs split. That would stop everyones ads dissapearing to page 5 in a matter of hours.

For what it is worth, pretty much everything that has been suggested in this thread is being planned into the changes to the Market Place. It is just taking a little time to decide exactly how to break down the sections and get it all in place.
All I can ask is people have a little more patience, and hopefully it will all be implemented in the near future. Don't think we are not aware the FS area is a mess as it is, and we're ignoring it...we're not.

Yes and don't forget as well there are members on here with multiple for sale threads - one person had 19 the last time I looked selling DVD's and even an LED Xmas tree, compact them all into one thread. It wouldn't be so bad but he/she bumps them at least once if not twice a day.

Simple, instead of 19 million threads - one thread titled "allsorts for sale, brick-a-brack" - problem solved
Does anyone want to take 5 mins and suggest a list of sections within the "for sale" spectrum on here? Or do we all want to moan
- For sale general (random crap - but all in one thread not 7 million)
- For sale Subaru related (split into classic, bugeye, blobeye, hawk, hatch, interchangeable between years)
- For sale but other cars (like for sale but NSR/other marques)
- For sale trader/breaking (either traders or someone breaking a car)

i think people tend to get a bit carried away,alright,there are a few cars breaking at the mo but as long as it dosent completely take over then really we have noubt to moan about as many of us will end up buying these broken parts,as long as these breakers are not wacking the prices up on old second hand bits!
we would all certainly have a moan if there were no parts to buy.
But when the breakers ads rule the pages and no room for other ads then it becomes ennoying,especially the likes of most of us want to sell an exhaust etc and it dissapears into page 3 within 1 hour. you have to bump it up 3 or 4 times a day otherwise it will never be seen!

and do away with the parts & accessories section.

I think the point is 'Private' For Sale General is now becoming 'Trade' Sale General. It's killing a community of like minded sellers and buyers trading used/new/unwanted parts from their pride and joys. Instead we have wholesale breakers selling parts of inconsistent/unknown quality at prices based on preferential business delivery that normal people can't compete with
