Question for the MODS & Knowledgable Members - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have about 26 Items I was going to put up in the "For Sale",
Section and I have Pictures of each item.
Is it all right to start a For Sale Thread (in the For Sale Section),
and make 5 seperate posts so that I can list all the pictures,
or would it be better to Post a list of items and send people pictures as they ask?

post pics if not all your PMs will all start with the phrase "send pics please" the section is there to be used the more the bbetter pictures you can post the better idea a buyer has

prior to posting it is good to have a shipping plan in place

I think up to 3 per thread is good...with pictures for sure. Just a list only gets requests for pictures and too much in one thread get's to be too much to follow for you as well as viewers. All I suggest is don't keep your threads all clustered together to allow other listings a fair chance to be seen. In other words. Don't just bring them all back to the top all at once. Let responses bring them back and if a thread drifts back,then bring it back up.

Unless your a really experienced seller you might consider listing a few at a time. If the items you are selling get lots of attention it is easy to get confused as to who is in line for what.

A master list in your initial post is good, but adding pics is a must. If not, you will be inundated with requests for pics.

I would list like objects in the same post,maybe even using a number for item. I do that when I sell on E-bay keeps me organized,sorta

Post pictures. Try to give a good description and think about potential questions that could arise, and answer them before they are asked. Ship small parts in USPS flat rate boxes, as they are inexpensive and you can include shipping with your asking price.

Thanks everyone.
I posted a Master List in the For Sale Section, (along with Prices).
Then I linked a "Picture Album" from my Face Book Account, over to my Post.
Seemeed to work well for about 95% of the people there.
