Default Put it in For Sale or Trade

Hi Joel

You ask a good question, I'd say go right ahead and put it in the For Sale or Trade heading with a big WANTED on it. There may be a name modification of that section coming anyway to make it clearer that is where parts, vehicles, things belong.

Couple of the moderators have been talking about how best handle wanted request to cut down on cross thread posting. One of the thoughts being considered that seems to make senses, if what is WANTED is INFORMATION then put it in the Sub Heading that is most on topic. If it is a THING that is WANTED then put it under For Sale or Trade.

Would most people look at a heading like - For Sale, Wanted or Trade ?

There are of course exceptions to any posting guidelines that should be considered. Such as when a part wanted request is part of an on going restoration thread what should we do then I'd say do as you have done put it in the restoration thread, and if that doesn't yield results put it in the For Sale or Trade.
