All,
One of my very favorite pastimes is trolling through the SB classifieds. For complaining sake I'd like to say that I'm really bummed out I can't do that anymore with the re-org of the classifieds forum.
The few purchases I've made off SB were for things I didn't even know I wanted until I saw it scroll by with my morning cup of coffee in hand. On the flipside I've sold a few items that were growing dust because I happened upon a WTB posting.
Being a creature of habit I'm sad that an enjoyable pastime is no longer available to me.
Outside of taking away one of my favorite leisure time activities the new classifieds force people who are selling a large amount of gear to use multiple posts. Anyone who has sold a long list of scuba gear online can tell you how hard it is to manage one thread (plus PMs) much less 20.
If you are selling all your gear as a set you'd be hard pressed to find a category... which means buyers will have trouble finding your gear too. Or if you are selling as a set it will be impossible for people to offer to break it up if they never see you're selling it as a package (stage bottle and regs come to mind) because it is posted in a random forum.
