    Are they all to be collected under this thread (like a mini sub-forum) or are people to open a new thread each time something is for sale?

    I won't be doing any product placement in my posts.

    A new thread when you're putting stuff up for sale.

    (if someone is selling a bike piece by piece we might take all the "derailleur for sale", "pedals for sale", "wheels for sale" threads and combine them. I don't expect that to happen, but just in case...)

    I know this sounds really obvious but Could I suggest some simple rules for the thread title

    i.e. The thread title must have the term "for sale" and the item name

    - Garmin 305 for sale

    Vague title threads could get annoying, if you think it is a question about an item and its a for sale thread.

    What about 'wanted' items threads? e.g I'd be interested in say a footpod for a garmin so I'd put up a 'Wanted - Footpod for Garmin 305', might trigger someone who had one lying around unused to offer it to me for sale.

    I can just picture it:
    Wanted: Entry to Connemarathon Ballycotton Dublin Marathon...
