Looks like lately the classifieds are mainly from dealers. Is there any way to regulate that? Seems like a bunch of free space for them and I don't think that is right. Just my opinion :)

I thought the same thing, but now I have mixed emotions. If they are dealers with nice cars and /or parts, what does it hurt? I think there is (was?) a limit on the number of classified ads one can run here. (Maybe 6?) Anyway, I hear what you are saying though.

Spoken like a true dealer.........:D:D:D:D:D Bob's alright though, at least he doesn't act like one!!!!!!!

Not sure how best to cover that Jeff. We are still fixing some bugs in the program - the total sold keeps dropping for some reason. After that we are doing more tweaking and am open to suggestions as to how to manage the ads.
A dealer only category that lists cars for sale? or ?

Al,

I like the"Dealer Only" catagory for classifieds. That way if you really want to check that section out you know up front. Thanks

Why not just have the dealers indentify their ad as such. Then all the ads will still be together but you'll know for sure if it's a dealer ad. Now how to impose that rule I'd have no idea.

I think it's just being picky and it doesn't really matter. If you call and it's a dealer, and you don't want to buy anything from one, say no thanks and hang up. Keep it all in one spot makes it easy to look at ALL the items/cars you might be interested in. There's no reason to split it up except to make the non-dealer folks feel special. Meh, I say. Also to tag each seller as a dealer or not would be difficult at best to authenticate, and add even more work to our already busy admins here.

No, I'm not a dealer and I don't like to buy from them either....unless they have the part I need and for the right price; which if they do, I want to know it's out there.

Typically, dealers "start high" in their prices (more so than regular Joe's), so it makes comperable cars look almost affordable. I too think it's no big deal. just a tiny little thing to deal with. I'm sure Al has MUCH bigger problems to work through ;)

Dano :beers:
