The Classified Section is Coming

I guess I've been busy. I had planned to keep a log here, but I've been so pre-occupied with getting the classified section ready to go.

I'm super excited. It's been my dream to get this website up and running and slowly, but surely, I'm getting there.

I think I've found the perfect software to use for my classified section...Hey! Why rebuild something, if it's already available and affordable.


The new classified section of GarageSaleSopper.com will be called "Community Classified Ads" due to the fact that the ads will be arranged by communities/cities.

I figured that if I wanted to look at on-line classified ads, I'd rather look at ads for items which were close by - so that I could save on shipping and delivery costs.

Here is a list of the key features for "Community Classified Ads":

• Auto Notify - allows users to predefine searches for ads which meet specific criteria. When new ads are posted or activated, if you have pre-defined searches that match the new ads, you will be sent an e-mail notification.
• Personal Quick Links - provide easy and quick access to ads that you are interested in reviewing and keeping track of.
• Keyword and Advanced Searches - will allow you to search the entire database or look for ads in specific categories which meet your specified criteria.
• Send to A Friend - allows you to send ad details to anyone you wish to share the ad with.
• Private Email Reply To Ad - allows you to receive replies to the ads you post without revealing your e-mail address to the viewer (unless you decide to do so).
• Number of Ads Count - Similar to the way you know which cities have garage sales posted at GarageSaleShopper.com, the number of ads in each community will be posted so that you don't have to make guesses and spend time browsing categories that don't have ads available.
• NO LIMITS - there will be not limits on the number of ads you can post at "Community Classified Ads".
• "Super Sellers" - These sellers will have access to post as many classified ads (ALL) with PHOTO UPLOADS for an entire month for less than the cost of placing 1 (one) single ad in the local paper.
• PHOTO UPLOADS - All "Super Sellers" will be allowed to upload photos for any listings they choose, so that our "Super Shoppers" can see exactly what they are looking to purchase.

I'll be sure to send you all an e-mail when these new and exciting features become available.
