Do people generally read the Wanted adverts ??

[Unframed Dave]

No, used to on the other forum but generally found it to be a time wasting exercise.

Sometimes .when I was thinking of getting rid of my shotgun I had a look and I have a look once a week.

It's worked for me occasionally over the years, but most of the time, zero response.

I sometimes look out of interest in case I have something someone needs. I have posted a 'wanted' ad a few times but generally speaking had no response, presumably because no one has got what I want. But occasionally I have hit the target ...

Ditto! Sold a few items in response to wanted threads, not bought so many (few responses). They can be useful when folk respond with alternate options/sources for items wanted.

Would work far better if Wanted and Sales were in the same place. Let's face it when you need to sell you go to the Sales section to list, rather than trawl through Wanted on the off-chance someone is looking and has advertised.

I check them regularly and post in them if there's something I want. It works well for me.

Unfortunately no one currently wants a Steyr H5, PH Dragon Sporter or Drulov Eagle rifle!

I do, and it worked a treat for me the other day when someone read my add when I needed a trigger guard.

Kindest regards

I'll have the rusty barrel of the end of one of them for a fiver

Nah, I don't think we need 'Wanted' ads mixed up in the 'For Sale' section. In a slower section, maybe, but our 'Sales' is a fast-moving section, and why would you want to trawl past (possibly confusingly listed) 'Wanted' ads, if you were looking to buy something?

If you were needing to sell something, after you'd listed it in 'Sales', it wouldn't be a bad idea to check in case somebody is after the very thing in 'Swaps and Wants'.

No, 'Swaps and Wants' is a good section. The threads might not always seem to get lots of replies (some replies we don't see of course, made via PM or email), but the threads do get plenty of views...

I used it myself very recently and Tinbum came to my rescue.
Also on the AGF someone placed a Wanted ad for a Combro, and as I'd just bought a Skan, it saved me posting a For Sale ad.
