What's The Best Way To Sell PSD Parts?

I noticed that the classifieds aren't very active. They're downright difficult for me to find. Is there something I'm not seeing?

the classifieds are a great way to share or offer up to our community first. I've had better luck selling some things on ebay. I shop there so figure others would too.
wording in the ad is important. Powerstroke and 7.3 are good searchable terms.
I just hate the 170,000,000,000 pages of the same ad repeating if the search is more open to see all items.

Craigslist is also a great place to list things..

Right! I'm just talking about here on FTE. I was wondering if there was something I was missing.

The way I see most stuff get moved accross FTE is when someone finds out about a mod being done, and request info about the old one. Several times it is just shipped off to the person requesting info.

Another way things get sold on this forum, someone is crusing through Craigslist, finds something cheep, that they dont need, so a link goes to it..

Sorry if that wasnt much help.

The Market place here gets a bit of attention we have worked hard to make it new and improved.

Marketplace - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Things that are reasonably priced will go very quickly

Another options is to fill out your signature line and put a link in there with a tag line 7.3 parts for sale. That way when you post here, there's a link to your ads down in the classifieds.

Another option would be to go to the 7.3 forum and ask the best way to get more traffic for your ads down in the classifieds. That would theoretically make people curious about what you have to sell. Then when someone responds to your questions, you could wait a half a day or a full day to reply to them so you accidentally bump your for sale thread back near the top again.

Just don't try to sell anything in this thread.

I know its OT but I'm assuming you are the same theSLEEPER from PSN? If so, I haven't seen you around here yet so welcome aboard! Links to Craigslist or Ebay and letting people know around here that you're modding or whatever are usually the fastest ways to move parts.
