Yes I get that but it's pretty annoying to get this error msg and have to reset my sorting settings everyday

Hello Head-Fi'ers!

We know that our For Sale/Trade forums have become a popular place for Head-Fi'ers to buy, sell, and trade all kinds of personal audio gear. It's an exciting area of the site, and we love that it has become one of the most popular places to buy, sell, and trade this type of gear online.

As popular as the For Sale/Trade forums are, there was room for improvement. The team here at Head-Fi has been hard at work on an upgrade to our For Sale/Trade forums, and we are excited to finally share it with you. We're thrilled to introduce you to the new Head-Fi Classifieds!

Head-Fi Classifieds is more than just an upgrade, it's an entirely new purpose-built system coded from the ground up. The first and perhaps most obvious changes you'll notice are two new ways to browse listings -- grid view and list view. If you're a seller, these views allow you to more effectively display what you have on offer. If you're a buyer, finding what you need is now much easier.



The Grid View allows you to easily see everything available for sale or trade. List View gives you more information about these items at a glance. Switching between Grid View and List View is easy, requiring only one click.

Once inside a Classified listing, all of the listing's detailed information is presented very clearly: Price, condition, shipping destinations, photos, sale terms, and a way to contact the seller.



We know that there were some key features that disappeared when we transitioned to our new platform in 2017 that you wanted back. We did, too. With Head-Fi Classifieds, we've restored some of your most requested features in addition to providing some entirely new functionality.

Ready to bump your listing? Go for it. With the new system you don't have to post "bump" anymore -- a "bump listing" option appears whenever a listing's bump option is available. And since new comments on a classified listing will not bump it to the top, you won't have to worry about accidentally bumping early. That's right, no more bump violation messages from moderators.

Did you complete a sale and want to close your listing? The power is now in your hands. Using the easy options menu, you can easily close the listing as soon as you're ready. Fill in the required fields and leave feedback for the buyer; they can leave feedback for you, too. And no more bouncing around multiple pages to close a listing, everything is now in one location. Need to withdraw a listing? It's just another easy menu option. You're in control.

Additionally, you can see all of a Head-Fi'ers active listings and review their feedback by visiting their profile page.



Compared to the current For Sale/Trade forums, the new Head-Fi Classifieds system is a much better way to get your gear in front of community members looking for new things to purchase (or trade for), and a much more efficient way for buyers to find what you're selling.

Additionally, new and B-stock gear will occasionally be available for purchase from some Sponsors in the Head-Fi Classifieds.

So what does this mean for the current For Sale/Trade forums?

As this new area goes live and Head-Fi'ers can start posting to Head-Fi Classifieds, we'll be suspending the ability to post new threads in the current For Sale/Trade forums. For those with listings in the current For Sale/Trade forums, we will give you some time to finish up any transactions, after which we will begin archiving all past For Sale/Trade forum listings.

We know how important buyer/seller feedback is to the community, so we'll be importing all feedback from the current For Sale/Trade forums to the new Head-Fi Classifieds system. Once completed, all feedback will be in one easy-to-view location. This import of buyer/seller feedback will be completed a little while after the launch of Head-Fi Classifieds.

We've been working hard over the last several months to bring this feature to the community, and we're thrilled to finally share it with you.

I'd like to thank @HF_Ryan , @warrenpchi , and @AxelCloris for the countless hours they've put into this project, as well as the day-to-day tasks that keep Head-Fi running.

Is there a way to display more classifieds per page? Looks like it's limited to 20 per page right now vs. 50 in the old classifieds forum.

@joe Hello. Am I not seeing something right? Concerning the new classifieds; I’m seeing there are a few hundred new listings for headphones and in ear phones for sale. Why are there no comments for any of the listings? I’ve attached a screenshot of what I’m seeing.

That seems very odd. Are our classifieds showing up to interested buyers?

There are comments being made, but it appears that counter isn't updating. We'll investigate and get this corrected. You can see comments by clicking here:

its would be great if you can set a filter and watch that category with the filter applied. I often check the clasifieds but am only interested in anything selling for GBP (since brexit border/tax hassle). Currently I need to set the filter each time. Would be good to also have a way of viewing all categories with a filter set which can then be saved for future, so I could click and see all categories in the clasifieds in GBP, that would be awesome. Just for consideration, thanks again for developing this.

Question removed. Found my answer in new Classifieds Introduction.

Did you use the menu in the upper right of your listing and select “Bump listing”, or did you post a comment in the listing? The latter no longer applies as a bump. Also, we only allow bumps every 72 hours. If it hasn’t been 72 hours or more, you won’t see the “Bump listing” option.

 

[djnoctis]

Oohhh. Nice feature. Haha

 

[RobertSM]

This is great. I feel like it will take a bit of time to get everyone to know where to go now. But this new version of classifieds is a great thing! Thanks for the work and for working on ways to improve.

I have wondered through the various features of the classifieds and I have to say I am impressed with it.

It may be time to sell some of the items I have.

Well done!

I really love the new look classified.
One issue that I have in both the new and the old classifieds is the filtering, specifically the classified type. Only being able to select ‘for sale’ or ‘sale/trade’ but not being able to see all classified that you could pay cash for is a little frustrating. I just want to see all the classifieds I could actually buy without having to see the trades or wanted ads.

Search for cash? Do you mean as a search term? if so, don't forget instead of filtering, you can search listings here: https://www.head-fi.org/search/?type=hfc_listing

Using that link, you can also select "For Sale" and "For Sale/Trade" at the same time.

I mean the filter on 'prefix' using the filter dropdown in the classifieds section itself.

I'm glad to know that this is possible. However, this is not an option in the filtering button once you already in the classifieds section, it is single selection only. It seems like an easy fix, if others agree its a valuable change.
