Bob Wightman Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I was just looking through the classified ads on this site for RV's for sale. Other than messaging the sellers to ask the dreaded "Still Available" question is there anyway to know if these coaches are still available or have been sold? I find people list their coaches for sale and then never take the listing down or mark it as sold when they do sell the RV, which makes (at least my searching) me only look at the newest posts and probably miss some opportunities on nice coaches that may still be available. The other funny thing is that when people do list their RV for sale, and you reach out to them for more info many of them never reply. Searching for a new RV certainly is a tedious task. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Hutto Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Bob, Good points. When a coach sells, the owner is supposed to let us know, and we remove the post. Let me think about how to improve this. Suggestions are welcome… The first step will be to clean up old posts. 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miacasa_2000 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Scotty you could make them renew the post every month or two weeks. Roy Mercier 2003 Dynasty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pratt Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Scotty, my suggestion would be to allow the ADD to be posted with an expiration date. You can set the expiration date at 90 days from the placement of the ADD. If possible, set it up so that the original poster will be notified 5-7 days before the ADD is to expire and also a way to automatically allow him to extend it another 90 days. If the OP does not respond in the 5-7 days after receiving the Notice, the ADD would automatically terminate. If it is possible to set it up this way it will take the burden off you and the other moderators to have to clean it up. Just my thoughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Some sort of automatic termination of the ads makes sense to me. I counted about 40 coaches for sale, I wonder how many are sold. It would be easy for a person to sell their coach, move on, and forget to ever come back & remove it. I suspect we have some like that on there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we have some like that on there now. To date there were 14 coaches reported as sold. When that happens the ad is removed. I also recommend and an automatic expiration date unless the OP still has the coach or item for sale and wants an expiration date extension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
