zKars Posted August 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2014 I can't help but admit this is a bit self serving, but how many of you routinely check the datsunclassifieds for parts your are looking for? I tend not to post parts for sale here, but just did post one over 'there' and wonder how active sales are? I will not post a link to the ad in an effort to convince you that this is a valid question that deserves some feed back. Perhaps admin Mike will appreaciate some discussion here. I really like the hybridz approach of just having for sale and WTB ads just be part of the daily posts that come and go. Since I always start the day with a "what's new" click, it would be great if any new ads on datsunclassified where just a simple part of what appears.

tlorber Posted August 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2014 I check the classifieds so INfrequently, that I can't even bother responding to this poll.Oh wait...

240dkw Posted August 19, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2014 I too check infrequently, mostly only if an ad on the side windows gets my attention.

Zed Head Posted August 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2014 I almost never look at the Classifieds. I like the Hybridz.org method also. I use What's New? to see what's happening too.

jfa.series1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2014 I don't check regularly but only because I'm no longer in a buying mode. As to selling, I had a restored steering wheel posted for a few months and it was recently purchased by a fellow in Perth AU and targeted for his upcoming work on HS30-0063. I'd say the classifieds are working.

S30Driver Posted August 20, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2014 I check them infrequently, probably once a week. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49880-almost-a-poll-how-many-of-you-check-the-classifieds-routinely/#findComment-453768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted August 20, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I almost never look at the Classifieds. I like the Hybridz.org method also. I use What's New? to see what's happening too.It's been years since I've checked Classifieds. Ebay tends to be my "Go to" used parts source. As for the Hybridz.org method of posting to Classifieds, one MUST be a Donating member of the forum in order to post items for sale. If you don't donate financially, you can look, but not sell. When they changed to that mode, there was quite a bit of complaining a few years ago.Dennis Edited August 20, 2014 by psdenno Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/49880-almost-a-poll-how-many-of-you-check-the-classifieds-routinely/#findComment-453769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I would MUCH rather have the classifieds as just another forum so they appear as posts in the new content view. I find the current classifieds to be clumsy and I don't check regularly. I do, however, check CL regularly via SearchTempest. I'm not in the market for cars or parts, but I like to see what's available in case a great deal comes along.

Z dreams Posted August 20, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 20, 2014 I agree with Jeff, clumsy, appearing as post would quick to navigate.

240260280z Posted August 20, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 20, 2014 maybe a few times a year. I do not like the current gui nor all the stale data.

Oiluj Posted August 20, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 20, 2014 I check them maybe once every 6 weeks, but my car is 95% complete and I'm not really in buying mode anymore.

Mikes Z car Posted August 20, 2014 Share #12 Posted August 20, 2014 I check the classifieds infrequently maybe every month but I don't need parts right now. Because I can't make the search function for forums work that well I like the current classifieds better than having the classifieds as a forum. I might be the lone ranger on this one.
