Classifieds are slow

[Perplexed]

there are so many subforums etc (at least 45). that one has to wade through I usually just give up.
I can't believe that the site owners really believe this has bettered the forum experience in any way. It makes navigating the forums tedious and boring not to mention there are sometimes only 4-7 topics active.

I have to agree with this. On the old forum, I'd visit perhaps half the sub-forums and find something interesting to read, and the classifieds were a snap to scan. Now, I only visit two or three sub-forums and often leave without reading anything since the posts are spread out so widely, and having to drill down through the classifieds makes me less likely to do so.

The classifieds need to be one big mess of stuff because I don't know what I want until I see it.

... I don't know what I want until I see it.

Were you my boss once upon a time?

Not necessarily. It could be an item for which there's a small market. I have a nearly correct International Harvester M1 Garand for sale in the classifieds at a very good price, with no interest expressed thus far. If I took that rifle to Wanenmacher, I don't think I'd make it inside before it was sold.

To further my point, I had for sale a M1A at the same (and good) price; there's a bigger market for those rifles, so it sold fairly quickly even though the Garand is a better deal.

Yours is the exception, not the rule. Most items listed are common guns and ammo...just overpriced.

I don't know what that means.

Just that I've worked for several people who never seemed to know what they wanted until they saw it, resulting in many "do-overs". Bad attempt at humor I guess.

Exactly. Its amazing what I don't need until i see it listed. Then I just HAVE to have it!

I said I've been SEEING.

That is what I am replying too. The items you see for much are usually cheaper at other places.

Not! Made perfect sense to me. We made have had some of the same bosses.

What classifieds link are you guys using? If you want to see classifieds similar to the old forum then use the link under the OSA Marketplace not the quick link at the top of the page.
