can I post somethign for sale here of must I post it in the "Private Party Ad" forum?

Very little activity there is the reason I ask.

And that should read
"can I post somethign for sale here OR must I post it in the "Private Party Ad" forum?

Typo on "or"

I never look at the site above ^^ Try this one vvv OR just post it here and someone will move it to the correct location

You can't post to that one anymore, hence the reason I posted the link that I did. It talks about the For Sale section changes and has a link to the new For Sale area.

Ok I read and read and I think I will just forgo trying to post a for sale ad. Maybe I need to read more but I think the way it is working forces people who are looking to buy to be very specific as to what they are looking for. I buy things on impulse sometimes, the way this is I can't just cruise through things for sale and have something catch my eye.
If you look at what I post about most of the time, it should be pretty easy to figure out what I want to sell. If you want to know for sure, PM me.

I agree, I'm not a big fan of the new for sale section. Too difficult to navigate through and haven't even tried posting to it yet, but others have mentioned their frustration.
I created a thread about it in the News/Feedback section last October and Admin said it was on the list of things to do but nothing has changed yet.

I too am amazed thT there isn't a place to post items for sale-sure there is a "private party sale " area, but I can't seem to figure it out!

I would think with a forum this big there would be thousands of items for sale, but all I see is something from last August!

Must be harder than I think to set up a "For Sale" area

If you go to Used Tractors For Sale - Classifieds at TractorByNet.com - John Deere, Kubota, New Holland, Case IH, Agco and click on the "Search" button (without selecting anything) it will show you all 2000+ items that are for sale.

Yeah Aaron that worked and would work for they way I look for stuff to buy sometimes but in this case, I would like for my ad to appeal to (or target if you will) a smaller audience, specifically the people who frequent the attachments forum.
Now, I'm going shopping.

The classified section on TBN has never been anywhere close to useful for either sellers or buyers as best I can tell over the past ten years. I suspect TBN just hasn't put effort into it because it is difficult to monetize.

It depends on which is the cart and which is the horse. I can think of some forums that are wildly popular BECAUSE of their classified sections. Fred Miranda's photography forum is a good example. I suspect that a lot of the posters on that forum were first drawn there because of the classified section, which is extremely active.

If TBN would get its act together on the classifieds, I think more people would be drawn to TBN.
