Flea market
It would be nice if sellers / buyers would add items location to their post .
This forum has international user base, so what if this website admins would make that a rule.

ads would have to fallow few simple rules:
- no piracy
- estimated item price
- item location
- ways of contacting seller/buyer/trader
- picture of item
...

Not everyone owns a digital camera would a picture of the item really be necessary?

A picture would mean the difference between my buying or not buying an item. Half the people I know who use craiglist do filter out the items without pictures.

That's for you though, does it need to be a set rule that applies to everyone?

Pictures are not always useful. Someone recently spammed selling an item that the seller did not own. The item's photos were stolen from eBay and put up as though the seller owned the item.

Yes, I know photos overall are a good thing. But they don't always tell the truth.
