The last couple weeks have been rewarding in an off-beat kind of way on Gameops.com.  Our Classified Ads have started to show some activity, after a slow few initial months.

The Classified Ads are actually the second attempt at a “want ads” type resource on the site.  The first was a bit of a disaster….just old, clumsy, there was a charge for listing, and it was really hard to shop or post.  I pulled that after a few frustrating months (frustrating for me, probably more frustration for the readers.)

The new Classified Ads are very easy to visit and shop.  They are free to use (both for shopping and for posting your items) and the new method of connecting between the person selling and the person buying is easier than ever.  All in all, it’s a big improvement.

What’s been satisfying recently is the uptick in activity.  The first couple sales have occurred (since I had actually posted items on there to get things rolling) and someone else has finally added a couple items to the Classified Ads.  I think the Ads are a very strong tool for the readers, so seeing it get used and seeing more posts and sales is very rewarding.

If you have not seen the Classified Ads, take a look.  If you are looking for used promotional tools (sometimes new items at a discount) it’s a great place to poke around.  More importantly if you have an old promotional tool, or other items that people in our industry might need, the Classified Ads provide a way for you to offer your item to the world.  Follow the posting directions, add a photo, and go from there.
