Classifieds Mayhem (1 Viewer)

How come people don’t change ads from “For Sale” to “Sold” etc.

It’d be nice just because you will occasionally find an old ad that is still active but that’s only after finding 10 that have been sold.

I’m always going deep on weird molds that nobody is presently interested in trying to save these chips from obscurity.

Update folks!

Done.

Laziness



I actually go back each month to try to update all my listings because I get lazy too

Ads will auto close 60 days after the last activity.

Yeah but it’s the “classification” - For Sale, Sold etc…

You have to open them and get to the top to see that it’s not open for any more replies. Still leaving one to wonder;

I usually close my ads as soon as I get payment, just to give my buyer a sense of security. Seems like the decent thing to do.

I mark as sold because I’m sure I’m not the only one sifting thru old listings hoping to save some chips from the back of the closet.

I wish there was a way to ignore all classifieds - but I fear that would mean no new content!!

My wife wishes there was a way that all classifieds could be ignored.

Just tell her to join the forum and buy up every classified. That way you can’t buy anything.

I've noticed this occasionally but I haven't found this to be a widespread phenomenon.

Personally, anytime I've got an active listing I try to be as diligent as possible with comms and I always close the listing as soon as I receive payment... that's the only way to transact IMO. I absolutely refuse to do business with poor communicators - it's just too aggravating.

It also saves you the hassle of fielding inquiries after you've sold the product.

There is ... you can set filters and only select the feeds that you want to see

Here's where you set filters. You can "CTRL click" to select the forums you want in your feed, and then check the "Save as Default" box. Voila... no more classifieds or auctions.

Great. Now can you tell me how to filter out “what I had for breakfast?”

Try the facebook marketplace canned response "Hi, is this still available?"

Genius. She plays but she’d play w/ dice chips. I have no idea how we’ve made it 30 years.

99% of time I'm on my phone and doesn't look like that.

Can sort my date be shown for advanced searches? I won't be near a computer for a few days.

It's available on the phone as well. I'd take screen shots and post, but I have no signal in the office (and my phone can't use the office wifi)

Hit the new posts tab, then "filters", check the box for “only selected forums”, touch where it says “0 items” and it will bring up the selections for you to choose from

Then you’d be out of a job, too.

This is true so the original post cannot be edited anymore from the bottom left of the post. However, at the top right of the original post, next to "Unwatch", there is a "..." option and the original poster can change the prefix.

So for some reason if the chips are sold/found/traded after 60 days from the last activity, they can still be marked as sold/found/traded.

I bet it's part laziness or part just not knowing one can do that.

What PCF could add is after 60 days, it's automatically marked as "Expired."

Exhibit A:

True dat. Or she can buy all my chips and I can retire. Lol
