Posting tips for a bike

zeroth · February 27th, 2009, 09:29 AM

Just thought I'd post a few tips that would hopefully make it easier for someone shopping for a bike. This kind of format for the title line would be useful:

08 250 - IL - $2800 OBO

It conveys the necessary info - year and model of bike, location, price, and negotiability, without less important info (such as "For Sale" or "FS", since there is a separate forum for "Items Wanted").

Obviously for other products, location is less important since they can be shipped cheaply.

If you don't like the advice, flame away or disregard. Just thought I'd help make this forum more user-friendly, especially since there are so many posts on it.
