    Classifieds Expanded

    We've just finished a re-org of the classifieds on GeoExpat.

    Location Based: We've added a mandatory "Location" field to all classifieds - making it easier for buyers to figure out where the item is located.

    You can even click on the location and find all ads in that area:

    Happy Valley Ads: Hong Kong All Ads - Hong Kong Classifieds

    1) Trading Post: New sections added, making it easier for people to find things. Previously everything was lumped into household goods - this has been broken down into furniture, decor, and a few other categories - including the much requested "Stuff Wanted" and "Free Stuff" categories.

    2) Cars Section: Now includes boats, as we've seen the trend that many people are now buying / selling boats and even more people are now opting to live on boats, here in HK.

    Hong Kong Cars, Bikes and Boats - Hong Kong Classifieds

    3) Contracts and Membership: Looking to pass your fitness, phone, Cable TV or internet contract to someone else? Also expanded to cover club memberships and debentures.

    4) Tutorial section: We're going to actively police the various forums and remove both tutors wanted and tutors from the forums. They belong in the classifieds as they are not really suited for the discussion based forums and end up as advertisements for the tutors.

    Hong Kong Language Tutors and Tuition - Hong Kong Classifieds

    5) Business and Service Ads: Will be expanded to allow members to advertise their services. The length of these ads will be increased to 30 days.

    The layout has been cleaned up a little bit. The final layout (due in a couple of weeks) is cleaner and easier to use...

    Glad to see the new boat category - I will absolutely use it - if and when we decide to leave!

    Hopefully not too soon. It has been something a couple of our advertisers have been looking for in a while.

    very nicely done, advice to those posting though - once in while you got to go out & see how much those New items are before posting your used ones. Beter visit Sham Shui Po or Wanchai or Fortress. just FYI
