eth2 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hello All, I hope you will not think I am obnoxious for just joining the Forum and offering an "idea" about the site, but given the number of "local only" sales, wouldn't it make sense for the website to be formatted in such a way as to have the location of the item listed on the summary page? I have been looking for certain speakers/amps and when I see what I am looking for I get all excited, only to find out that it is 1000 miles away and sold for local pick-up only. Sorry for being a know-it-all, and this is a great forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Scroll down on the klipsch main page till you see "garage sales" just under it is "Alerts" , try that . And welcome to the "Cult" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) This is the garage sales section. What speakers and amp are you looking for? Edited February 15, 2014 by mustang guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It is up to the seller of the item to list the location. As much as our government thinks otherwise, you can't handhold people from cradle to grave. Eventually they should have to stand on their own and figure things out.

minermark Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) This is the garage sales section. What speakers and amp are you looking for?

Sorry for being a know-it-all, and this is a great forum. Well, I don't think you are being obnoxious. This great forum first and foremost, is a community of Klipsch owners and appreciators who exchange ideas and experiences with our said Klipsch speakers. We love to help others and also take full advantage of the plethora of knowledge that is compiled from our many dedicated members. Believe it or not, this sight became a place for buyers and sellers of Klipsch(and other gear) by default. But we don't want to be known as a place to peddle our gear as the main objective. Hence, this is why the Garage Sale section is not more comprehensive. It would be nice though if when an ad is placed for the seller to clearly state where the item for sale is. Others may agree or not with my assessment but this is how I see our forum. Bill Edited February 15, 2014 by willland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill I suppose im guilty of this, maybe I could take a second to post location, but I always figured if I see a craigs listing I slam that puppy as fast as I can, location is always stated in the listing.

eth2 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Greetings from my Ford Station Wagon! I am also looking for some Cornwalls. Yesterday there was a pristine set for $600, but alas, they were beyond my Ford's driving range, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
