Default Terrible FS/WTB section

Mods, not sure if this has been brought up before, but why do we have such a terrible Marketplace forum. Every WTB or FS post is lumped into one thread. You can't find or search for anything. Can't we get a proper section like the main Marketplace forum?

Trying to sell my 991.2 OEM car cover and clear corner lights, but I bet hardly anything gets sold in that thread.

Everything I've ever listed in the Canadian For Sale section has sold within a week. Also, I make purchases from that thread all the time as well. So don't worry, people are used to navigating it and your stuff will be seen.

I agree though, a classifieds section using the template from the main forum would be ideal - but I highly doubt that Internet Brands gives a what about our little Canadian FS/WTB needs.

"We" = Canadian FS/WTB

x2 - I agree, it is weak.

Um, your prices are too low? Do you have a full face helmet for sale? Expired OK.

I do actually!

Scorpion full face helmet with Snell 2015, good through 2025. Size small. Black/grey. Only worn a handful of times and in as-new condition. $100.

The reason for the subform is to stop the main canadian forum turning into eBay. I think it has worked quite well. I like it.

He's right, your prices are too low! If I wore a small I'd buy that.

I am convinced that the well laid out Buy/Sell section is what keeps the Pelican Forum alive and well.

Never ever been on it. So can't be a differentiator 😉 I do find the technical forums outstanding though. Some outstanding talent their with very little fan boy stuff.

The Pelican classifieds are unbelievably awesome. I've bought and sold probably hundreds of items there, from obscure impossible to find, to very common but much cheaper to buy used, and everything in between. Bad sellers and buyers are called out and disappear quickly.

There are some great for sale areas as above.
o/p - car cover? not worth the boarder shipping charges.
I have some 997.2 mufflers? As 90% of rennlist is American. Shipping would kill the deal.
I have an extra H8(?) battery. free to a good home. No american cares.
It would be nice to have a place to share and trade locally.
The Canada parts for sale area is there, but i would like to see it expanded.
I scroll backwards, but its awkward.

Here's the layout. I love that you can go right to the 924/944/968 Parts for Sale without really leaving the Forum.

Love the requirement of including prices.

Especially that--although it is a small price to pay.
