| Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
: Hi folks,
: There seems to be an ever increasing tide of
: people responding to ad's for items listed
: four, six months and even two, three, five
: YEARS ago asking if the item is still
: available for sale.
: Also MOST of the time, these items have direct
: email addresses listed of the seller for you
: to communicate directly with them.
: As a result the forum is littered with a bunch
: of posts responding to very dated posts that
: could and really should be responded to
: directly and not via a forum.
: I would really prefer to not have to change the
: guidelines, so I'd like to ask that if you
: see an item that interests you, email the
: poster directly first. You'll likely get a
: quicker and more direct response and you'll
: be keeping the forum clean.
: Thanks for your cooperation,
: -- Chuck
Chuck, I think what you are seeing here is search engines pulling old adds which people respond to.
I think it's a question of time (short) before this stops.
