Aaron Foord Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I often see in the classifieds items I may be interested in buying, but they never say where the items or the poster are located. Can advertisers please put their location either on the advert or in their profile? It would be a whole lot easier than having to keep mailing someone for their location. Common sense really I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I see things often enough that I would be interested in if I thought they might be somewhere near me but which I would not bother about if they were in far away Lerwick. No need to give addresses but some guide to location would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posiedon Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I've mentioned this twice in the past, to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Foord Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It should be mandatory to have a location on your profile, and on the adverts. Any adverts that have no location or some ridiculous entry as a location should be deleted. The thing is that sellers are losing out here, because I am sure that there are many potential buyers who don't bother enquiring after an item they would like to buy because there is no location on the advert.

Scorrie Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Is there such an animal as a dedicated 'Classifieds' mod? If not, could a suitable candidate be recruited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fionajohn Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 imo all that's needed is north,central,south or islands it could be up to the advertiser if they wanted to put a more detailed location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It should be mandatory to have a location on your profile, and on the adverts. Is that why you have done yours? I do see your point though! You could ask them in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Foord Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Is that why you have done yours? I do see your point though! You could ask them in the mean time. When I post an advert, I always put 'located in Unst' on it - which is exactly what I have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It is a reasonable and accurate location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 It is a reasonable and accurate location. Not really. To many folk the first motorway in the UK is the M1, which places you anyplace between Watford and Leeds. I think I'll change mine to read "Near Norway", it would be as reasonable and accurate.

shetlandpeat Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I cannot be responsible for a lack of knowledge amongst folk. Even more so when they have the means to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 ^ Not on the Education Committee then, Peat. Finding out has nothing to do with it. It depends whether you mean the first piece of motorway type highway, motorway standard highway, or full length motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
