Hi Admins,

We currently have:

• FOR SALE
  SOLD
  WANTED
  FREE
  NO LONGER WANTED

There seem to be times when NO LONGER SELLING would be more appropriate than SOLD, when the seller decides to keep the car/item and is withdrawing it from sale.

And BOUGHT would usually be more appropriate than NO LONGER WANTED (but suggest we keep that for the same reason as introducing NO LONGER SELLING).

So the choices would become (re-ordered for added clarity):

• FOR SALE
  SOLD
  NO LONGER SELLING
  WANTED
  BOUGHT
  NO LONGER WANTED
  FREE

What do you think?

It would be more immediately useful if people updated 'For Sale' to 'Sold'. Save reading pages of 'is this still for sale?' posts.

Or even just:

• FOR SALE
  SOLD / NO LONGER SELLING
  WANTED
  BOUGHT / NO LONGER WANTED
  FREE

Or even just:

• FOR SALE
  SOLD / NO LONGER SELLING
  WANTED
  BOUGHT / NO LONGER WANTED
  FREE

Much better. That should just involve Mods changing the descriptors.

Definitely better as that seems to cover all bases with fewer options.

What about “SWAP/EXCHANGE/PART EX”?

What about “ NO ONE WANTS IT, ITS NOW FREE, FOR GODS SAKE SOMEONE TAKE IT OFF MY HANDS BEFORE I KILL MYSELF”.
