Craigslist thread? Or continue posting individual ads?
I've been posting my CL finds for a while now...and I'm curious if people would rather I start a CL thread and keep everything there, instead of posting each individual ad in the Parts For Sale subforum.
Pros:
1 thread to check
Doesn't spam up the for sale subforum with possibly scammy CL ads
Cons:
Can't see what parts are for sale from New Posts list
I'm pretty selective on what I repost so not many scammy ads get through

Eh.
Usually no one on CL ships, so you'd almost need a region specific thread. I'm not going to sift through your CL posts, are they all local to you? Or just Miata specific? PM Chriscar, he's the mod to talk to about this ish.

It'd be the same ads I've been posting for the last 6 or 8 months or however long. Nationwide, Miata specific, and hand selected for good prices and/or difficult to find parts.
In practice it means a lot of cheap hardtops, occasional beater/parts cars, and random finds like the 99-01 head I posted this morning or some $200 Bilsteins I posted a while back. I know at least a handful of people here have scored some of the CL deals I've passed along.
Checking CL is part of my morning routine, and if it's not a part I want/need/can afford, I might as well pass it along.

A subforum in the WTS section would be good, but I like new threads for each find so one doesn't need to wade through unrelated items. Plus, it's easier to post that it is sold.
I did get my $400 HT from one of mgeoffriau's CL finds. He does post good finds that are priced well, not "OMG Here's a $950 HT that I found FS".

I've scored no less than 3 awesome deals thanks to Mark's work, one local (not so much, but in driving distance), and the other two willing to ship.
We have "CL threads" on other forums, and I never check them, always miss stuff.
I actually like seeing a specific subject line, regardless of clutter, and just deciding if I click or not based on need, want, and fundage.

If we do get something, don't make it a god damn sub section, we have enough of that. A sticky in the for sale section.
I agree with gospeed though, it's nice seeing the price and part name in the title, and if we keep that up, we can just keep them in the for sale section.
