thisismyotherbike Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Hi nick! It would be super helpful to be able to “heart” ads or add them to a wishlist so you could find them at a later stage, helps if you want to follow up on someone who didn’t reply , or check up on an ad or able you to find an ad quickly once you come up with the cash! Haha Or know when they drop the price
cadenceblur Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. I'll chat to the team about this. The rough design we currently have, your ads will be two clicks away on any page. One for the drop down and one on the My Ads link.Screenshot 2019-06-28 at 11.40.36.pngHi sent a PM to the admin regarding the poor use of the ad template. Relevant info not being posted up front which then requires to and fro to get info. For example forks posted without steerer length or QR or TA. Saddles without width. Quite frustrating.
Darrynbp Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Serious buyers tend to usually just phone or whatsspp immediately. By the time i get to reading PM's the item is usually sold/on hold already, and courteously have to type that they were a bit late to the party. I do always try to have the bests pics possible from my side already on the advert, accompanied by full and honest descriptions, so to eliminate as much uncertainty as possible. has been working fine for me. I DO wish everybody took the time to rate though... Agreed, if everyone took the extra 2 min to rate the buyer or seller it would keep people more honest
Kranswurm Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 I've been trying to see the funny side of some of the lowball offers, but it really can test your patience at times. Not to mention the guys criticizing pricing on new items (@ 50% of cost) that they clearly know very little about or comparing it to their prices on 5yr old (and older) used comparatives. (and yes, we're talking bibs here) Do some homework and ensure you know what you're talking about.Because no, I won't be selling you a Bianchi Oltre XR2 for R1000.! LOLI recently advertised a Thule 3 bike rack for 6kReceived an sms offering me 3k cash......I just LOL......obviously buying to sellNext sms picked it up same evening for 6k cash

Or know when they drop the price The feature will notify you when the price changes, among other things.
Nick Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Hi sent a PM to the admin regarding the poor use of the ad template. Relevant info not being posted up front which then requires to and fro to get info. For example forks posted without steerer length or QR or TA. Saddles without width. Quite frustrating. Agreed, completed adverts would be great. But we do have to cater for people who simply don't know what is important to include. And there are a significant number of them. We'd prefer to have the advert placed and incomplete rather than not placed at all. It's going to take a bit longer but we do have plans to build in some coaching mechanisms and deeper learning content to assist people in completing their adverts. Also some kind of advert completion ranking/ scale might help incentivise people to fill in all the fields.
Thomo Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 There's also the users who violate the T&Cs by reposting a new advert for the same item every second day or so? I may have missed that fine print.Didn't realise making the effort to keep ads relevant may be in violation of the T&Cs.Sincerest apologies.

Your Roubaix has been catching my eye on the homepage. We do need to do more to make people aware of this. We currently only really act on the extreme cases.
Thomo Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Your Roubaix has been catching my eye on the homepage. Grab it.! If nothing else, you'll stop me from reposting tomorrow.
Mett Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 This feature will be in the first update. Any strong preference for a heart or a star icon? Currently we have a heart. This is GREAT! Heart is cool - will this also be seen on the mobile site? Or only on a desktop ?

Nick Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 This is GREAT! Heart is cool - will this also be seen on the mobile site? Or only on a desktop ?On both. Mobile and desktop will be the same website for the homepage and classifieds.
Hairy Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 On both. Mobile and desktop will be the same website for the homepage and classifieds.on mobile will it also allow you to follow an add and have the option of "instant notification"?
Nick Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 on mobile will it also allow you to follow an add and have the option of "instant notification"? There won't be a difference in the new classifieds. It's the same site. Things might just move around slightly to fit on different screen sizes. What you can do on desktop you will be able to do on mobile.
