Default i think this should be passed a resolution ,no pics ,no location ,no ad

I think the time has come... and lets face it we are in the jet age ...NO LOCATION IN THE HEADER and no photo then no AD it should be deleted immediatly i would also go as far as to say if you don`t put a price then NO ad either you don`t get Sainsbury`s saying offers?


In fact new rules i`m putting forward MUST HAVE A LOCATION,MUST HAVE A PHOTO ,MUST HAVE A PRICE.

Stops any arseing about.

I have to say although i can see the arguments against it I do agree with you, I cant be bothered with ads that have no location or price and they just tend to clog up the classifieds!

People want to BROWSE what is available, without pics and locations its pointless, you see something you like then find out its the other end of the country yet if location was on ad you wouldnt bother clicking

Thats a reason NOT to have location in the title of the advert, as long as its in the advert itself.

The seller may be able to deliver to you cheap, know someone that is heading your way at some point or can arrange a reasonably priced courier. You'll never know cos the location in the title made you bypass the advert.

Might aswell put price in the title too while ya at it as some prices make you wish you didn't bother clicking on the advert

Agrre with you both
If you're too lazy to put your location, or post up a pic, i ain't buying.
Also don't quite u=nderstand why some posters refuse to post a pic, but will only send by email ?

I agree, and all irrelevant posts should be deleted, and all shops should only be allowed to post in the shop classified section.

It`s so true whats the point in advertising something you can`t see .

I think they are lazy sellers and possibly lazy keepers.

If you are placing an ad on the classifieds, your goal is to sell what you are advertising, no pics and no location or price, really doesn't help your sale.

Place, Price and Pics help a sale not hinder it, crazy that people don't divulge that info.

Pics are essential, what gets me is when people tell you to look in their album for pics
Put em on the advert you lazy tit
