    Can't think of a section at the moment. But perhaps move 'Home Appliances' nearer to 'Used Furniture' as they seem to often go together.

    And is there a way for those posting to be able to select more than one category? Often people are disposing of multiple items but put them in one posting in one category - they could be missing out on potential buyers who only look in one category which might not have been the single category the seller placed it.

    Given the huge emotional following for dogs and cats here I would have thought a pets section might be an idea.

    Perhaps a Charity/NGO/Religious section might be an idea?

    could you maybe break up the phone and camera as different categories?

    why they are related I don't know!

    also maybe change the "computer" section to "computers and games consoles"?
