    EE Mess

    Just wondering if there is anything out there (program, mods, plugins) that could clean up the EE and make going through it easier. 40% of people have terrible thread titles that don't even say what they are selling (2 guns for sale!!) or about the 20% you find that say SOLD but it's been up for months. After all the years I've been here, literally, nothing has changed, this is becoming myspace.

    My personal favorite is the hunting section:
    Couple nice ones
    3 rifles
    Bunch of shotguns
    Rifles for sale
    Lolol

    The search function is your best friend for the EE. It's not user friendly but once you master it's nuances you can find pretty much anything
    Unlock it's secrets and seek thee out the guns ye desire sir
    Guns only have two natural enemies; politicians and rust.

    All the stuff sold but not removed can be irksome.
    Envy green is not a color well worn. Might want to quit while you're ahead

    Call me a grump but every EE listing with an item for sale should have a mandatory photo/photos.

    I agree. It’s so annoying when there are no pics. Even a link to click on works for me, but got to have pics

    I remember Ebay trying to upsell ads with pics as they were more likely to sell and get a higher price than Ads without. It's up to the seller to market their goods properly if they want a sale. Personally I think a handful of pics is good with the ability to provide more to an interested buyer. My only issue with creating a search tool that edits for calibre and or make etc is that it eliminates the other ada and would put some more obscure firearms outside of most searches. There is currently a search tool that can find key words etc... so I'd suggest currently using that feature if you are looking for something specific. Remember not everyone is a sales specialist it it shows sometimes but really you can find pretty much any firearm you want on this site if not now then at some point....if nothing is listed that you want I suggest a very specific WTB ad. I found everything I was seriously looking for I wanted to here so far with a hit of patience.

    Especially when it's a customized rifle
    Ie the awesome ads like:

    Russian SKS highly modified, custom everything, lots of custom work done (no pics)

    Or

    Ar15, custom built for 3 gun, too many awesome mods to list (no pics)

    Lol oh people.....thankfully that's not the majority. All you can do is laugh. Makes selling my stuff with good desctiptions and high Def pics real easy!

    Still the finest EE in Canada IMHO.
    I really appreciate the resource!
    Have dealt with many fine people!

    How about “local sale only” and no location in the avatar or EE ad.
    “In the middle of nowhere” and “In my safe place” is local to somewhere I presume.....
    The most asinine quote in Canadian history;
    A “fringe minority” in truckers convoy with “unacceptable views” “don’t represent Canadians”

    Every member can now post a photo in the EE direct from his computer. No longer necessary to use a photo hosting site.
