Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Thanks OP.
    I used it on Monday - got a call about 15 minutes after placing the ad - buyer arrived this evening. Deal done!

    Between Donedeal and the Pink pages in d'Echo - who needs Buy & Sell? Isn't it strange how B&S just seemed to self-destruct? There was a time when you would go to it for everything, and pay good money too.

    Buy and Sell magazine was a classic case of not realising the shifting trend from print to the internet. By the time they did realise it and actually invested in a website it was too late and others like Adverts and Donedeal had already stolen a march.

    They were the victims of their own success, they went from being the market maker in second hand goods to being little more than a sideshow

    Why would anyone use donedeal when there's adverts?

    Cheers OP, had a ticket for sale on Done Deal and Adverts for the last 4 weeks and wasn't getting any real offers - about an hour ago I used the voucher in the link and placed the ad again for free, got a text literally 5 minutes after placing it, buyer just collected the ticket from me, that worked out well :)

    Personal opinion id say :P

    Depends on what you want, some people prefer to talk to people about items rather than have to comment on something and wait for a reply.
    Others prefer the later.
    I prefer adverts myself.:)

    If I'm selling something I'll place an ad on both sites and to be honest I've found that Adverts is full of time wasters making stupid offers, even when the ad specifically says that the price is non-negotiable. Out of the ~15 or so ads I've placed over the last couple of years (concert tickets, Playstations, a car, etc) 1 of them sold from Adverts, the rest from Done Deal.

    When someone asks "Why would anyone use Done Deal when there's adverts?" you just have to laugh - one is far superior, more convenient and considerably more popular than the other.

    Thanks again to the OP for sharing the free voucher link.
