Why don't people list all (or even most) of their items in one ad? I have spoken for an item just to see the same person has other items I can use listed later after I've already paid. I avoid those repeat sales because I'd pay shipping twice. If items were in one ad the person could sell in bundles, ship fewer packages, and manage their sales easier.
On this big lot of stuff I am selling, I do it so I can keep it straight. I listed a big lot of misc stuff at first, and after 3-4 days, I could not edit the original post anymore and it became difficult to keep sold items separate from remaining items. Listing smaller lots of items helps me be able to keep up with what I have left of similar items.
Personally, I would be much more inclined to list everything in one thread if we could edit the original post indefinitely.
I am not saying it's right and I generally don't do it myself but some sellers find it easier to keep track of stuff if they are all in separate ads.
Joe S has a great point about editing the original posts. That ability is gone after 2 days. I wish the moderators could adjust the software so posts can be edited forever like on Rokslide and Long Range Hunting. Then we could line out items sold from a bulk listing.

I agree Joe. I don't see why we can't edit an ad indefinitely. If the reason is somehow to prevent cheating somebody cheating a buyer...I would say they are plenty of ways cheat people and plenty of ways the memorialize what was in the original ad.
Very good point, I had the same experience.
I like to do single item/single post . It’s arduous to look at a listing titled “ things for sale “ or “ bench cleaning “ ….. You look intently at the listing only to find nothing of interest …. Well , that was a waste of time I’ll never get back .
At least with the single listing/single item logic you know what’s up for grabs before you even click on the link . I’ve done the bundled way before when I was selling multiple different items and it was a cluster f*&% …. Folks saying they will take an item , send me their info only to realize the item was sold days ago . They don’t take the time to read the whole post , meanwhile my PM’s are blowing up for needless reasons .
However , I use the bundle logic when selling multiples of the same item .
Something that bothers me is when someones listing looks like this : “ .284 Nosler Partions “ or “ Colt 1911 “ …. Are you selling , are you looking for one ? Why they do this is beyond me ….. Click bait ?
With my format you know what exactly is being sought or sold . Uninterested , breeze right by with no second thought onto the next listing below mine .
If you buy something from me it’s usually a day or two before I can get to the post office or get shipping supplies due to my disability . So if you see something else of interest , it’s usually no problem to stick everything in one shipping box .
Also , it’s easier to track and sort .
Three weeks ago someone bought multiple different items from me within 24 hours and it was no issue putting everything in one box .

Shiiiit.....this dumbazz has the nerve to tell others how to price their items. Now he wants people to list their stuff so it's easier FOR HIM. Unbelievable.
I do have a few different small ads listed cuz it was way easier for me to do the pictures that way. it's all so easy for me to keep track of. then if I ask I will happily combine shipping and all I can.
Boy, am I gonna piss you guys off (not intentionally).
I'm getting ready to make a number of for sale posts.
I'm making multiple posts because the items are so dissimilar
that just trying to get the header for the ad to make sense
and attract buyers would be a pain to be all inclusive.
Sorry,
Shotgunjock

Offer some Midol for DizzyDinny.
We need a business sales tab.
When you’re selling multiple items of basically the same thing, bullets for example, they all should be under one listing, not twenty, thereby pushing everyone further down the page than they should.
Let’s see how many democrats respond….

I would even go out on a limb and suggest a separate sub heading for knives. Then again, I like this site so I won't complain.

I make multiple posts when the items are dissimilar.
That way, the thread title can be simple.
I try to bump them up at about the same time.
If I was to post a bunch of stuff it would probably be easier to keep track by breaking it into a couple different posts.
I like the old saying, 'if it aint broke, dont fix it ' .
The democrats showed up.. Oh well, I can't please everyone.

Sounds like a modern day cowboy problem to me..
I fully realize some people love me, some people hate me, and some people just don't care. Go ahead, get it out of your systems. I want to read all about it (and keep growing my ignore list).
If I see something I'm ready to pull the trigger on, I click on the posters name to see if they have other items that may be of interest to me.

Good advice. I like it when some folks will link all their posts together and say something like will combine shipping.

Post it how you want to post it. “Stainless steel Winchester mag box for sale” is going to get more views from people interested than “large lot of shít for sale.”
If listing similar items, I do try and put them in the same ad. But on this board, I sometimes choose to list items separately simply because you cannot edit your post after 24 hours. So after 24 hours, you have to add a reply to note that something is sold instead of striking through text or making a notation in the original or -- lo and behold -- simply changing the title. It often makes for a big mess. Who wants to wade through 30 posts just to see if a box of bullets is still available?

Rocket science.
I am not computer savvy.
I am very talented with firearms, fishing equipment, chainsaws, and the like.
If we need an editable post to clean up the threads, but also need the original for other reasons.
Wouldn’t it be easy if we just added a box to ☑️ in this area when you post a for sale ad?
1. The original ad remains.
2. check the box and it automatically duplicates an editable version as the first “reply”
Am I still a computer idiot or would this cure the problem?

Ah. Now I know why OP's cannot or will not edit the headers of their ads to say the item has been sold. I'll just keep wasting my time scrolling to the end of the ad just to learn the item is sold.
And learn how to post pictures!
And learn how to post pictures!
Amen to that! It's so easy a 3rd grader can do it!!

Aw piss on it, I'll just text them.

Well, it sort of is broke. I like this site for the knowledge many offer up on almost everything and anything. Not being able to edit posts, at will or at least embellish on top of the original content, makes individual management of all forums difficult when it doesn't need to be.
I get that the site is a throwback to simpler times but try doing the basic things like the search engine, getting an answer to how many posts must you have to "PM" and posting images is a wonderment. Makes you wonder if anybody is behind the curtain.
Heck, charge a nominal fee per classified ad and the carpet bombing will end. I'm with Dinny on this one.
AND at least post what state you are located in the title.............................
How to reduce pictures to the smallest size possible.
Also to get my saved avatar to actually be saved as it says it was.
