A fair number of the ads in for sale don't state the item's location, willingness to post overseas, and the currency of the asking price ... e.g. "looking for 1550".

Would be more informative and save time if we required these and did a bit of gentle enforcement?

I might be good introducing a format for the 'for sale' section:
Item:
Location:
Current state: (new, used, etc.)
(optional reason for the sale):
Shipping options:
Additional information:
Photo's:

Does this make any sense.

Gentlemen,

We are discussing the idea (which is a good one!), but frankly, no one reads the existing rules for the sales section... so could we expect them to read these additional elements, or are we simply adding to modding time?

You could say we are adding to modding time.

I think most people know the rules of "for sale" section, just do not follow. I'm having the same problem in fellow WW forum - 1st. posts in "far sale" section, no prices, ebay links, bumping etc.

Is it possible to make a mod to sales section so that these criteria will be required in order to post?

Chris.
