Please, please ban IC threads. They're often nothing more than a hidden auction. It adds unnecessary clutter to the forum that should be the most definitive of head fi.

While you're changing things, I'd like a separation of portable and full size much like the equipment forums;
Headphones (full size) for sale/trade
Portable headphones and IEMs for sale/trade
 
This would really make it easier for people in the market for IEMs since there is a much greater amount of full size HPs in the current forum

I try to avoid splitting forums until absolutely necessary.  And, yes, I've already considered that we may be at that point for those categories, especially this early in the new system, when there aren't too many to move over.

There are no plans right now to ban interest-check posts.  I've posted at least one myself.  For now, you'll just have to avoid reading them--resist the urge.

Where's the button to add pictures?
Do we have to do it all in html now?
 
Never mind. Hadn't made it to the next page yet when I posted.

Excellent!

This is simply fantastic!
I made the thread "Head-fi should adopt a new interface for the For Sale sub-forum" and sent a feedback message and it looks like my request has been answered by the Head-fi gods!

Buying/selling/trading audio equipment should be intuitive, quick, and hassle-free now; previously, the system was just horrendous: squinting my eyes and scrolling down the endless list of now closed, irrelevant, or unwanted threads was such a pain.
My only  suggestion would be to implement brand and model columns, or a similar feature, in order to further facilitate the search for a specific audio product.
Very well done Jude and developers,

I think this "new" system somehow like the one we always see in Audiogon, ebay, etc.
 
BTW, can we change the feedback in new system, like the one in past?? bos there are sometimes i need to keep a neutral feedback, when change it into others as there are some quarrels between the buyer and seller.
 
Thanks

These are good questions, IMO.

I agree, IC threads are a definite nuisance IMO when they are simply links to postings on ebay, etc. (especially when they are from new members who appear to only sign up so that they can use the FS forums). As long as the mods stay on top of the situation and lock these link-only threads (which they seem to be doing more so lately than has been the case in the past) IC's can serve a purpose here. Thanks for taking so many opinions into account with all of this.

A better thing would be to make a section for IC so that people who aren't interested in stuff that's not for sale can browse in peace.

 

[shiaulou]

Is there anyway to throw in a "price change" option that'll allow the listing to be pushed back up to the top?
 
nevermind, i just figured out that the listings can sorted by update date! i had it sorted by creation date!

 

[paaj]

any chance at an option to set your asking price in € ? 

 

[Hero Kid]

I've asked for that in my suggestions/bugs thread located here. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/516285/list-of-bugs-and-suggestions-for-the-new-classified-section
As it stands we don't even know what the default currency is - we can only assume its USD.

 

[jude]

Yes, let's keep the suggestions and bug reports specific to the new Gear For Sale/Trade system in Hero Kid's thread.  (Thanks again, Hero Kid, for starting and curating that thread.)
