Thanks for the effort Adam.

My one reservation is that just like ebay, shipping can occupy 75% of the time it takes to create a listing. Unless of course, you rip people off and just have say three shipping charges..... just like most sellers on ebay.

That one isn't as rare, right? Otherwise I wouldn't have a copy myself! Or has the market for FA*'s changed that much lately?

Anyway, let's stay on topic here. I'd appreciate it if you posted replies in the news thread, since I'll be deleting this one and moving all the replies later anyway.

I haven't actually tested how attachments are displayed yet, so I'll do so now. It should be up to the user where the photos are shown, and whether they are posted as attachments or simply linked to in the main description. Users can state that in the "Additional Details" box.

I like it Adam. What about the suggestion of putting a sentence at the top about checking the Want to buy threads first. it might also save you some server space with all the pictures.

Yeah- that will be shown on the page through which you submit the form.

Server space isn't a bit of a concern, though
