About once whenever I'm looking for something.

Not for the past three months... Well, with the exception of right now, anyways...

I set this up to help myself and others decide on the number of days to pick when placing an ad, and also to draw atention to this feature for the good of people looking for things as well as folks looking to sell things. It is a great way to find/sell things very specific to our trucks as well as clearing up garage space.

I have a tendancy to check every few hours. I know, I'm sick but hey I like hot items even if they are used.

Several times a day....You would be surprised how many Dealer/Vendors try to use our classifieds as a store front to sell they're products.

Always somebody trying to take something we provide for free and exploit it for profit. Some people have no moral fiber at all, thankfully 99.9% of you fine people are not like that

Maybe need to start another poll.

How many would check more often if people posting ads would put their city, and state in the ads so you could tell if that widget for sale was local, or you'd have to pay shipping from Eastern Middle-Of Nowheresville?

I check it every day , and i have bought a few things from there , including my gauges ( i got an awsome deal on them- brand new , thanks Kent!) I recently purchased some 370 injectors also at a very reasonable price.

I have also helped alot of fellow dtr members buy/sell something they were looking for , if i see something in the classifieds that someone was looking for, i send the person looking for the item a PM.

I usually look at the First Gen ads once a day, out of boredom if nothing else..and cause ya never know when that "perfect" truck might show up in there at the perfect price....BTW, when are they putting in a "free" catagory?

It sure would be nice if folks DID list where the items were located....

Usually once a day. Sometimes twice. I have purchased a few things listed there (or on the OTHER web sites classifieds). I agree with the location thought. It is especially helpful for people that travel (or can travel like my self).
