Just an Idea folks
I'm not sure if what i'm going to say has been asked before, but is it possible for the peoples location to be a bit more specific than the country. I'm sure this would help when buying and selling items and offering advice and help to other members.

Ah, but the flip side to that is that when selling (fr'instance the BX) I may set a price of £250 as being what I would happily accept, but if someone "offers" me £300 then I have made! - on the other hand if they "offer" £200 I would (politely) say what I thought to be a fair minimum price and see if an agreement could be reached.
Either way, one has only to email and ask (as several did) and they would get a reply - I certainly never feel put out submitting an "offer" for something - got some right bargains that way.

Other forums allow you to put your location precisely: this one only seems to allow country. Unless I am missing something we are all stuck with it- or does someone out there know how to include region or county in the profile?

Nothing to stop you putting location in your advert as part of the text is there. Personally I can't see any point in being specific when I'm answering queries - after all where I live doesn't make any difference as to the enquirers problem does it but if I am selling I'm daft not to give some indication as to where the car is.
I'd have thought a bit of common sense was what was required - after all if someone doesn't state where a car is I'm probably going to assume its miles away and not show any interest in it - which is of course the vendor's loss.
As to stating a price - let me say that if a price is not stated I assume the vendor to be greedy and as a matter of principal will not enquire about the vehicle - Vendor's loss again.

Finding where people are is a good idea, but I think I'm all alone up here in the North East, so it's not a lof of help to me. Some of the others might have other people local to them.
Lending tools is not a good idea, usually because it's my Dad who borrows them and he has a nasty habbit of hitting my open ended spanners with hammers and knocking the jaws off, then he complains that it never would have happened with one of his Britool BSW ones...
