Guys...Come on Options

The exchange is there for a reason. Please use it! I'll let the current threads stay but they will be locked. If more of these "urgent" FS/WTB threads pop up I can't guarantee they won't magically disappear...

Well, since you started this thread, here are some of my thoughts.

I've thought about the Exchange on more than one occasion when I've dropped in to see what's what. But I've only gone in there twice - once was today. One reason was because I had no idea what was in there by now.

I also have some parts I'm going to be selling sooner or later and have thought to myself that if I did post them nobody'd know about it without intentionally going into the Exchange to look.

Here's my point. I would think that some kind of mechanism which announced a new listing or change in pricing should have an alert associated with it. If there's some automatic post of a notice it would be slick. However, one idea that's come to mind is to start a SINGLE thread that folks could post to: "My car's for sale", or "Need 650cc injectors" or "Price drop on b16 turbo to $$$" as long as it's associated with a related item in the Exchange.

I don't know what will ultimately work, but I think you can see what I'm talking about. Just some notifier of a new listing with a short blurb about it should suffice.

There - my $.02.
