Question for everybody regarding classifieds

We are beginning to get a little more activity within the classifieds area, and we are considering adding a program specifically for classifieds, rather than just creating posts for them like we currently do.

My question is, do you guys/gals spend much time looking at classifieds for ATV products? I am trying to gauge what the popularity of such a feature would be and if it is worth the money to install.

The program we are looking to install will allow you to post specific information in a clean format, post pictures, accept payment via credit card if you have a paypal account, create auctions for your products, a place to list the price rather than hidden within the post, as well as set "buy it now" prices.

Here is an example of an auction - link

Let us know your thoughts

Mike, I think that it would be a great idea. Anything to to make the site more interactive.

Agreed

sounds good

sounds great!

Glad to see the opinions are favorable. Will try to get this set up in the next day or three.

Every forum that I'm on I hit the classified area looking for a good deal on something either for me or for my riding buddys. The new program is pretty sweet. I can see that bringing a lot more people to the forum. Being able to post a pic of the item is great and making the payment transaction less hassle free is even better.

Hey Folks,

The Classifieds section is up and running. There may be some bugs that need to be worked out, so if something isn't set up just right, please be patient while we work everything out.

I have set up a test item for sale, using the auction setup. Please go in and bid on the item just to test the system out.

Note - If you have any existing ads listed in the old classifieds section, please re-list them in the new area. The old section will be closed for new posts, but we will leave it available for viewing for a few days so you have time to transfer ads over to the new system.

Hope you enjoy it. Once you list an item, feel free to post the link at other places to help get exposure to your item, but be sure to abide by other sites guidelines when posting the link. Be sure to spread the word, we would like to get plenty of exposure to this new section of the website.

is it workin right, i put a bid in
