I find the new format to be less efficient. It takes a lot longer to get the same information. One of the great things about the old format was that you could scroll through lots of ads quickly and have all the information as to price, condition, equipment, location in the country, who the seller is without having to click a bunch of links and go to different windows. It now takes substantially longer.

There is an option to increase the number of ads per page, but it doesn't work. Even if it did, you still have to click on the picture to get any details and then do the math to get the seller information and possible location. Pictures are nice, but I would like to have more information than just the price available without having to click a link.

Developing a full classified section with seller login, multiple pictures, automated notifications, expanded detailed description, standard formatted fields and more takes careful planning......we have been planning. The current version isn't our end plan, only part of the initial website launch.

Recently sold wasn't overlooked but not included. We can add the page if enough people want it back.

It's important to hide seller information from bots that crawl the web searching for someone to scam or spam. Doing the math is one way to protect information.

I liked the recently sold section and would love to see it back.

Thanks,
Craig 7Q

You could start a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the now missing recently sold section?

We really need this information handy. In all seriousness, it was a useful history for many of us.

What Craig and Sean said.

The "Recently Sold" section is quite valuable to someone who is just starting their journey with SAS (Sailplane Acquisition Syndrome).

"Roger that...." I also vote for the return of the "Recently Sold" section. Over the years I found it very helpful. Not to make more work for you, but I also found the sections where ads were "not renewed" or where an aircraft was "not sold" also very useful!
Thanks - Renny

It also is a good measure of how quickly things move. My vote is to have it put back when you can.

I don't like it as much as the old, but it is a change, and it takes some getting use to. Keep working on it. I remember Chip Garner talking about the 302 and saying "You know, if we can make a vario as good as the L-Nav, that would be pretty good." Fast loading, with as much plane detail as possible is at the top of my list. Don't mind having to "do the math" to see who and how to contact.

Thanks,
Steve

I agree with Steve, the "Recently Sold" section was a very good measure of market demand and gave both buyers and sellers a barometer of current market conditions. In fact, I think it may also motivate some potential buyers to stop kicking tires and act; especially when they see a glider they've been eyeing, sell within a few short days.
