Holy parts for sale threads haha
I don't mind seeing a few parts for sale threads, but when you fill the new posts page with them.
I find it a little excessive. Can they not be compiled in a single or couple threads ??
That could work, rather than filling up most of the new posts page each week .
Is it just me or is this excessive??

It's just you Eric. They're posted in the proper forum sub class so there's nothing wrong with that. They just happen to show up in the New Posts because they're "New". Same thing with starting a new thread or responding to an existing one. I don't see this is a problem, and it also contributes to the general population looking for parts. Sellers need the site to provide them the same courtesy that everyone expects from other threads. My 2˘

If you want to clear some chaff, just go into the parts for sale forum, click on Tools and Mark All as Read. Then when you view recent posts the for sale items won't be there and you can focus on the other posts.
That, or buy all his stuff :-D

IMO listing parts individually quite often makes for easier searches for a perspective buyer... Someone interested in a 76 CSM, for example, can search for that specific item by title rather then view all the listings of "Shop Manuals"... Again, JMO...

Which is a no no if one of the admins latches onto it. I did ask about a specific part that I saw in one of the pictures *but not listed by the seller) but it's unfortunately not on the FSBO list separately. I wouldn't buy the whole dash just to get it either.
That kind of thread is ok for generic shopping but I think some of it will eventually go down the road as individual items for sale and be listed as such on the Parts for Sale section. And, they will again show up in the 'New Posts' section

I've got no problem with the ads format, and I actually have only a very small problem with a couple people who charge mafia level gouging on their parts, but when they ask for "paypal friends and family," I'm like, "Friends don't let friends charge those prices."
This is a community here, but some people are treating it like a business. Some profit (20%, whatever) is fine. 100% or higher profit is gouging.

Searching for a specific part, manual etc and hitting on that specific thread/s ( now with related threads implemented ) would save time for sure. I didn't look at it from that point of view.
