Just a quick suggestion for the Audio Equipment For Sale or To Buy category.

Would it be possible for everyone posting in this area to clearly state in titles where the seller is located and where the product could eventually be shipped?
As some already do.

For instance:

- [EU - Germany] RME ADI-2 DAC V2 - ships to Europe
- [EU - Belgium] Neumann KH150 - ships to BE, FR, LU, NL
- [US - Texas] Benchmark AHB2 - ships to CONUS & CA
- [Japan - Tokyo] Denon PMA-A100 - ships worldwide

And so on. Not that I'm looking at you, US fellows, but no, not everybody here is living in CONUS (far from it, indeed). Often, the only way to figure out where you are is your asking price being stated in $ (not even USD, just $).

Yep, agree 100%.

In fact if possible, when a member opens a new FS thread there should be a template that is needed to be completed with the key details;

Location of item (Country, State, City)
Price (instant/reserve)
Condition
Pictures

The way it works in some forums is the seller sets an instant (like buy now) and reserve price (lowest they will sell) and people can offer higher if they wish. However the seller can pick who they wish to sell to and for what price, i.e. the seller is not obliged to sell to the highest offer.

As many forums are doing. Yep, 100% agreed !

I think that's a good idea

Let me talk to @AdamG247 and @amirm about it.

Clearly not applied for now...

Na, I'm sorry @AdamG247 , but I just gave it another check, and very few ones are doing it. (sometimes, somewhere far in the post, sometimes not at all. Even saw "local pickup" without even stating where "local" is )
When I suggested "Clearly", I really meant straight in thread titles.

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Please go to each listing that is not following the rules and report them. Thank you for your help with this.

I have further Revised the For Sale Thread creation Rules to try to make the Ads easier to understand the geographical area the seller is advertising and willing to ship. Thank for this feedback and assistance in improving our website.
