    In this progressive world I don’t think we should assume that’s it’s aimed at men only...

    Yes, I would too.

    One very simple way to avoid that in any ad post is to specify:

    "Telephone replies only"

    Don’t put ‘Ring only’

    My bad, Jim.

    In my defence, It's everybody else's fault for PMing me.

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

    I've seen that myself. Even though I can't bring myself to sell anything, I still look in the wanted adds. My bbs diet is.

    Non airgun
    General airgun
    Wanted/swaps
    Sales
    Collectors once every week or so, Normally in that order.

    I've always had better success by having an ad running in the Wanted section coupled with a one line "Wanted" in my signature.

    Then the more you post the more folks get to see your signature --- simples.

    Unless members have signatures in the control panel switched off

    I got fed up seeing the same signature time and time again .

    Not yours BTW

    I had exactly the same thought Mick.

    I have had some success in finding wanted items in the section but not that often.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
