    I've not been here long but something I've found very, very valuable on other automotive forums has been the enforcement of some simple rules in the classifieds (since we don't break them down regionally - NOT a big deal) ...

    State - For Sale, Want to Buy, Want to Trade, Feeler - Item description
    For example:
    MD - FS - 16x8 Konig Countersteer

    I find myself clicking classifieds ads repeatedly and closing right back out because the seller wants a local sale only. If I can see before hand that the thread is CA (which it seems like my luck - most wheel and tire ads are :( ) I can know ahead of time they aren't likely to ship or keep looking. Would make shopping the classifieds much more efficient is all I merely suggest?

    Agreed 100%. We're getting together a more thorough classifieds system, which will also let the seller declare an item sold, and includes the features you're talking about

    That is FANTASTIC!!! Thanks very much for the reply! I've already used the classifieds to purchase an item from CA so I'm an informed user ;) :D

    The Subaru forum I was on prior to buying my Tacoma had a great approach to classifieds: they simply made regional FS threads. The vast majority of the parts exchanged here are significantly large and sometimes heavy, so shipping is a big factor in the purchase
