Been pondering this, but I'm not sure if it will work. I love to read the "want to.." forums, but sometimes it's overwhelming. When I have time (I haven't lately), I like to try to find other people's sites to see their trade and want lists.
So would it work if everyone posted a "Want List", and it would be stickied (and put into alphabetical order maybe?). The owner of the list can edit it as they have stuff the want or already got. If a member leaves (we should hope not, but it happens), then their post is deleted. Photos can be added as a link (Photobucket.com is a good place to upload photos!), NOT as a "here's a bunch of photos. See what you want."
Want lists don't have to have pictures, but it would be helpful if anyone in the Sale/Trade (this would have to be specified if it was for sale, for trade, or both in the post) would list conditions and pictures.
The Forum list would be like:
Want Lists
Sell/trade Lists
Maybe there will be a Separate for Sales? Or Maybe there will be a "Quick Sales" forum for people who are in need to sell their stuff fast? Or maybe even an "Advertising" forum for Auctions, services, and reminders of what's on their saleslits (IE "HTF, MOC, etc etc on This Person's Saleslist! Trades Welcome!" or "1/2 Price special on XXXXXXX's sales lists!"
It just seems like a lot of stuff is overlooked, and hard to navigate or keep track of, yanno. Make sense? ideas?
