Yet another call for more Sale catagories...

I know there have been several suggested changes and additions in the past regarding the For Sale catagories, not all of which have been chosen to be implemented, but here are a couple more subheadings I feel should be provided (sorry if either are redundant to previously suggested ideas):

1) Under "Analog", there should be a subheading for phonostages (this would be for standalone units, instead of lumping them in with all preamps).

2) Under "Miscellaneous", there should be a subheading for recorders (this would be for all analog and digital tape and disk devices).

Also, if the subwoofers are going to be grouped together under Home Theater (debatable but understandable), why shouldn't there be a subheading here for center channels and surrounds? And I still think digital IC's should get their own subheading under either Digital or Cables...

Another useful division, would be to add an ability to sort an area by price.
Now they are sorted only by date.
Currently one may look by type of equipment category, or one may use the search to seek one manufacturer. I would like to be able to sort by price in each catagory

Tok20000, there is currently a section for Receivers under Miscellaneous.

Another cool thing to have would be a 'blind' e-mail request if a selected product became available.
An interested buyer would be able to have a secret request for an item, and when the exact item became listed, an e-mail would be sent to the interested party. (a fee could be charged for this?)
Such a thing is on a computer site, and it is COOL. If you post a 'blind' request, it is held in the system, and if anyone posts the item for sale, you get an e-mail message. You could perhaps add some notation to the sellers ad that (x number) of prerequested blind emails were sent? To let other browsers know to hurry if they want the item.
(the negative side of this is then folks won't browse as much, but some wanted stuff would find interested buyers fast, and it could make the site owners a bit more cash. have the same sort of fees as posting ads)

More: also, a blind e-mail setting might be able to let sellers (at the time of posting) know that several buyers are looking for the product, and allow them to change the ad to an auction! Woohoo!
More to discover
