Title: new idea maybe?
Post by: GTi_James on 02 December 2012, 18:14
hey guys,

i've been trolling the for sale sections etc etc and was wondering why we dont have for sale sections under the different MK's? like at the moment, everything is chucked into the classifieds if you wanting to sell it but was wondering, wouldnt it be easier if, for example, there was a sticky under each MK1 MK2 MK3 etc etc,  it would then be easier for people who are looking for items to go to that specific model and for it? i just thought it might be easier to sell things then because its a bit of a pain scrolling through the endless items for sale for something specific  :undecided:

just a thought and wondering if its been pondered before?

So sell parts for a mk1, inside the mk1 section? Having separate sections for the type of part also? What about the parts that are non-mk specific?

yes to your first bit, not practical for your second bit and like the maintenance sections have a sticky in specific Mk section labelled Modded Parts?

Simple really,

Golf Mk4 >>> Parts for Sale >>> Modded Parts

Parts for sale is for general mk4 parts

In the Mk4 section have another link to a Modded Parts Section

... :undecided:

just wondering really as there are so many parts flying about on the for sale sections and people referring back to the sales sections in threads for parts that theyre selling.

It does ail sometimes, I tried to give away some nice tyres and rubber mats from my mk6 gtd in the mk6 section and the post was moved to other car parts for sale where it died a death, I still have the stupid tyres and mats  :whistle:

Nah, tyres are the other side of my shed and my shed is full of summer tyres from vans etc meaning I'd have to empty the shed to gain access to the sheds rear door to access the tyres I'm giving away free.

Not happening  :tongue:

Good case point though because I'm sure they would have gone prior to "new winter tyres on" had they stayed on offer in the mk6 section and negated this question in the first place etc  :whistle:

Getting back on topic I too think this would be a good idea a few times I've seen things moved from there specific section to an area where they die.

Which raises the point of why have sections at all?

JV - just bung it all in the same section called "Threads" and clearly that will make everything better. :rolleyes:

i just think that people would like to go straight to a sticky in their respective Marks when someone mentions something for sale that is being looked for?

saves a lot of time clicking between forum pages and everything is then model specific

i.e there was a gent selling a full Ko4 setup in the engine exhausts and parts section however this was purely for a mk5 conversion and not a mk4  :cry: made me very sad
