Why are there so many(repeated) For Sale items now appearing on the Forum ?

Sometimes pages and pages of low cost items, some which can be bought for a couple of Euro new.

It's totally destroys reading the Forum.

Surely Users should only be allowed a limited quota to sell over a fixed period, particularly if the items are less than 10 Euros ?

I see what you mean, it seems to be all from the same seller too.

Agree 100%, one post with a list of items is ample.

When I see "For Sale" on a post title I just skip past it I don't read any of them. 

But I do agree that if one person is selling numerous items they should be listed on one post.

I've got a used sponge, willing to swap for a table leg. 

Also where in the Costa Blanca can you buy clothes?

And my 40 year old fridge is playing up need a cheap quote to fix it.

The list goes on...😄

I do agree about the "jumble sale" aspect.  Perhaps for sale items could be restricted to the relevant section on the seller's local forum, rather than Costa Blanca in general.  I doubt if many people want to drive far to pick up or deliver these days.
