How to create a better Wanted post
Budget, model, city, and patience. A Wanted post is a public brief, not a vague wish.

Sellers skim Wanted the same way buyers skim For Sale. Give them a model range, a number, and a neighbourhood.
A template that works
Avoid
- ‘DM for budget’ — you will get noise.
- Your home address.
- Five unrelated items in one post.
When a seller replies
Ask for a photo of the actual item with today’s newspaper or a handwritten date if you are uneasy. Then meet in public and run the same checks as any other used purchase.
