Maybe this has been brought up before but I think the BST could be improved a lot with a simple format. I'm also on a few car forums and the classifieds are structured in a way that makes things much easier to find. Ads are first broken down by specific car model and generation, and then broken down into categories of parts like interior, exterior, engine, brakes, suspension, etc. It should be really simple to do the same thing for ski gear.
For example:
-Skis
-Boots
-Bindings
-Outerwear
-Helmets
-Goggles
-Softgoods
-Misc
-Sale (for people that want to keep all their stuff together)
Obviously its easy to just put up a big sale thread with all your shit in it, but I think this would make things easier/more likely to sell. Threads would stay at the top of their respective lists for much longer and get more exposure from the people actually looking that specific gear. Digging through 5 pages of sale threads to find something that hasn't been bumped in only 2 days is kind of ridiculous. It seems like I see the same threads bumped every day and then new threads fall through the cracks if op doesn't bump all the time.
Just my thoughts, let me know what you think :)
