Maybe some can use these?
“Original Willys Front end. These are all original Willys parts. Heavy surface rust but very solid, the windshield does include the glass. They are from my 1947 Willys I got a new body parts so I am selling these parts.
Reproduction parts that I just replaced cost me over $1,250.00. I will sell these parts for $600.00. I got new parts because I am not a body man and cannot put the finish on them that should be. Cash only on pick up, will not ship. No other currency excepted”

Hi Raj,
It looks like these parts have sold. I’ve updated the post.
Thanks,

I can kinda, sorta, maybe understand visitors not getting the entire repost deal….even though you make it pretty clear by highlighting the links.
You don’t need to be a computer whiz to figure it out…
BUT…
Don’t people look at the dates on the postings???
A hint: any ad more than 6 months old is not going to have a good link…either the ad has expired or the item has sold.
Come on people…
John, the way I view it, folks can easily get excited by a Jeep or parts in an ad that looks interesting, causing them to miss seeing the date. I see it as a usability issue that I never got right, in part because folks view this as a traditional classified ad site, so that if the ad is up, they expect it to be available. (Not an unreasonable expectation)
During the first iterations of the site, I tried implementing some code that would overlay a message on older posts (say three months or older) indicating they were older posts, but I didn’t have the programming savvy to do that. Moreover, the updates to the core WordPress code over the years would have forced me to rewrite it.
Instead, I began to see comments on older posts as an opportunity to update older posts that I hadn’t yet gotten updating. Besides, 99.9% of folks are like Raj, very polite about asking if something is available.
For a while I had plans to geocache all posts over a map based on city/state, but I never found the time to learn the coding skills to create the additions to the back end fields to make this happen. Before the advent of google earth, I had worked with two competitors to Keyhole (one was ESRI and the other was a small company out of Santa Cruz), so by the time I launch ewillys, I knew it was possible to do with the write code.
Side note… in 2005 I worked with Jane Goodall’s tech team using ESRI date to creat a visual flyover of her complex in Tanzania and even had an opportunity to go there and visit, but life got in the way. She introduced that demo as part of her keynote speech in front of 13,000 tech folks in San Diego … thank goodness that demo worked, lol. … that was a whole other life….
