    As people have said, the forum isn't a particularly high traffic forum, regulars often have a system or four stashed away and look for very particular types of equipment when they are looking to buy.

    You would be far better off with the ebays of this world, although they present their own problems, or a lot higher traffic, more broad church hi-Fi specific site like the wam, hifi for sale etc.

    Horses for courses as they say.

    On the contrary, I have access to the stats, and can tell that the traffic levels are pretty healthy for this type of forum. On average, the site gets 16K hits daily. Certainly nothing compared with those of ebay, but well up there with the likes of pfm or Wigwam, both of which have been around much longer and have larger memberships.

    The classifieds section here, for example, generates rather more traffic than that on pfm, mainly because there are no posting quantity restrictions for members when advertising here.

    However, we do insist that photographs are provided with all ads, which coincidentally is one of the reasons why Private Exhibitions is as active as it is, as buyers appreciate being able to see exactly what they'll be getting, and sellers also benefit from that accordingly!

    Besides, if some of you would box-swap less, and try and keep a settled system, you wouldn't need to worry as much about how long things take to sell!!
