WTH w/ WTB?

[tsarpepe]

Is it me, or is the amount of WTB ads just exploded recently? 2/3 of the Classifieds' page consists of them.

Guess people are holed up at home and doing projects...

I was just wading thru them trying to see whats for sale :)

Maybe a WTB section would be nicer? :rolleyes:

Agree that they do seem to be up. On the one hand I can see having a separate section but on the other folks will often provide options in re: to the WTB which turns into a classified add so I think it might be challenging to separate.

Not separating

Kind of like a separate OT section - the more sections there are, the harder it is for us to moderate them.

This is probably broadly proportional to the general increase in demand for bike and bike-related products due to the coronavirus/shelter-in-place. People here spent the past couple of years complaining that it was a buyer's market, with bikes/components going for pennies. Well, good news, the tide has turned in favor of sellers now, so have at it!

Garage cleaning is done for most people, and the parts are in motion...

And I think it's that time of year when we are fine-tuning the bikes for (hopefully) the late spring and summer.

Then in the fall, we'll switch back to people selling off the bikes that didn't work.:banana:

But also, a lot of people are sitting on stuff they’d let with but don’t have ads posted for those things so sometimes a WTB is a good way to get connected with those sellers.

Good point, Kyle. I’m often lazy or just have stuff hanging around just-in-case but if I know somebody needs it I tend to be motivated to respond.

Hey, if you have a set of 11s Super Record Ergos (https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=251261) with red/white logos and in good shape for a reasonable price, I'll take them - promise! ;)
