Is there a wanted section in this forum?

[Josey_wales]

Do you have a wanted section in the forum? don't want to break rules but don't know if you can ask or am I not allowed in that section yet as a newby

Another post or two and it will be automatic.

Thanks. never read the fine print, just say yes

[look no hands]

I wouldn't worry too much, no one ever looks at the wanted section anyway

'ti's true and I've given up responding to wanted ads on here. Always turns out to be more trouble than it's worth.

As do I, I have repeatedly found responding to wanted ads to be more trouble than it's worth.

We may be looking at this from different points of view, I'm talking about someone wanting rifle "x", which is what you will find the majority of wanted ads in the wanted section being, not someone wanting a magazine article or three quarter whit flange nut.

This is my experience.

.....three quarter whit flange nut.

I got two of those from wanted posts on here - so that did work for me. They were specific things, and what was offered to me was either clearly what I wanted or it wouldn't have been offered.

Then I put in a wanted post for a pistol giving clear details of what was wanted. Got a few replies offering pistols nicely inside my requirements. [edit: always replied] Nah, don't want that... No don't want that either...

For something other than a round-head duffelle sprocket with a dome-head fitting, what you want can be a very personal thing. That 'pistol wanted' post reminded me I need to wait for something to come up for sale which is obviously a "dive for your phone" perfect match, or... yawn... yawn... wait for it to come up.

It's horrible weather, can't go anywhere, I'm well stocked up so don't even have an excuse to go to the shop, so I sit here typing drivel.

Bugger me.

Should that not be in the 'REQUESTS' section?

[rapidresponse1]

used it once worked out ok for me

[angrybear]

It always surprises me how many times there's an item in sales that seems to be exactly what someone in wanted is after

Don't people look, or is it that seeing the other ad triggers the decision to buy/sell ?

I do hate people who can't be bothered to reply when you answer a wanted ad, which unfortunately seems to be most of them.

Bugger me.

Think you might need to expand on the details of your requirements.

May be too late for that, Rob. I tried to send T 20 a PM yesterday and got a message stating that his 'inbox was full'

I can see this thread being moved to the 'Men only' section, real soon.
