Default Ad content in the Classifieds.

It looks as though some folks are leaving out critical information when posting classifieds. The blade width is not mentioned in more than a few posts and the grind type is also not listed for more than a few. Should there maybe be fields for that info in the posting form? Maybe folks leave that info off on purpose? It would make searching more versatile it seems...

Just some thoughts out loud...

I agree that the more information the merrier. If I'd like more information, I usually PM the seller to find out whaterer it is that I'd like to know.

While I do think it is a good idea for width and grind to be included, I wouldn't really like to have to fill in more fields. But then again, I always post that information in the ad itself. Having to fill in boxes would be repetitive and time consuming for me.

Perhaps posting a sticky with suggested information to include in the ads would be a good alternative to more fill in the boxes.
