You stated "It's your opinion that the site should demand location information" and I clarified, by saying "it's my opinion that the site should require it, but it's not my demand that the site must require it.". That's OK to say, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me? Are you doing this deliberately? Whatever, it's academic now anyway. I will continue to post For Sale ads the same way as I've been doing these past 8 years or so. I live in Solihull by the way, in case anybody needs to know... Aaand I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not trying to obtuse about this (and in one respect it is a picky little technical point), but to require someone to say where they live on pain of not being allowed to advertise...? Really? It's a marketplace FFS; people buy stuff they often don't need with money they often don't have to spare. +1 I also object to making it a *requirement*. From the 'pro' comments here it seems that indicating the location is something that might help the person who places the ad... so let them choose how they want to do it.

Paul S Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I ask this out of genuine curiosity, not to start a fight, but exactly what is the issue behind stating your location? I really don't understand why it is a problem or why anyone would get upset over it. Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain as to the ire felt by some, but it is definitely an anomaly to declare a sale to be 'Collection Only', yet not give a location from whence to collect..! Other than that, it's simply an inconvenience for those wishing to consider whether to buy the item or not, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I get that bit. It seems that some people don't want to give their location if it isn't absolutely necessary and I don't get that.

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I can't see why you'd leave the rough location off the advert on a collection only item or one likely to receive requests for viewings, just extra messages to reply to.

I think it's just a question of where on the 'tin-foil helmet' scale one stands, really. Some folks are reticent by nature, and will only advance the minimum required, just because that's the way they're comfortable. Others are more 'devil may care', and some would even have their PIN code tattooed on their forehead with no qualms. There are those that dig atomic shelters, and others go naked, and all sorts in between. 'Nowt so queer as folks' covers much of these musings, in my view. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, just one daft 'example': consider all the 'Norfolk' jokes; some folks may not enjoy continued ribaldry on the subject. There are doubtless other 'reasons' (I was born and bred in Norfolk; it holds no stigma for me, but for some...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
