Just a quick suggestion when advertising a sale, please put a date in either the title or in the thread body for any sale.

I've seen more than a few times an ad posted that says "Today is the last day to pre-order out of the MartyE Trains catalog!" or "Saint MartyE Sale Ends Today" and that is the only time frames posted.  May I suggest these edit, "Today 2/30/2024 is the last day to pre-order out of the MartyE Trains catalog!" or "Saint MartyE Sale Ends Today 6/31/2024".  Yes I know these are fictional dates but it is used as an example. With threads getting bumped, Today may be Tomorrow or even a week from now and some extreme cases a year.  Actually this could apply to anything with a fixed time frame.

Just a suggestion and yes I made myself a Saint.  Canonized by the 1/48 scale pope on my layout.

Another suggestion to Forum members would be to add the wordsFOR SALE or FS in the beginning title of your' For Sale' posting. Helps everybody to understand what you are posting about and maybe gets more interest in your post. This requirement is stated already in Forum terms of service but I thought a reminder/suggestion would be helpful to posters.

The FOR SALE / TRADE and WANT TO BUY RULES already state this:

  • Depending on which forum, start your post with "For Sale" and/or "Trade" or "Want To Buy".

I agree wholeheartedly!! I get tired of opening a thread to read about something that might be interesting to me only to find out that it is an FS or WTB post.
