1937hd45 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 If an ad was placed last July, can it be brought up from the sub basement so new readers car see it? Other sites have a rule where old ads can come back to the top after a number of days or weeks. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Aren't all posts here sorted by most recent use? I think if you post something in the ad, it will go back to the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The add simply dated out and is now down the page(s). You can always at a response to the topic which will bring it to the top. Although I frown on that. Then EVERYONE will be bumping the topic to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Peter, Is there a way a "For Sale" listing can be found by the original poster? If someone listed an item a year ago and can't remember what it was is it lost in the basement forever? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I have seen "Or Best Offer" many times but have never been able to pin a seller down to the process. How long will they be taking offers? Will I be notified of the best offer when it is chosen. Will I have a chance to make a second offer? The sellers just never seem to have answers to my questions. I have never set up terms for a best offer sale. Has anyone put out a OBO in a literal sense? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Maybe I need to ask the question again, I've listed things on this site over the years, how do I find every item? The above info does not produce any results, what are the other ways of finding my parts listings?

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 GOOGLE? I get sent here often when googling parts. Enter something you had for sale in the Google search. Also, as some said earlier, try looking up your old activity. I have been on here almost as long as you and have chased myself back to day one.

I don't own a cellphone because I don't know how to use one. Other sites have a parts search by seller option, guess that got me spoiled. Thanks.

Using the above instructions it shows that I have NOTHING listed. Has anyone had better luck? If so what were your steps that worked? Thank you.
