Is it possible to offer more than item at once - in the same post? Or are givers expected to offer each item in a separate post?
We are doing a clear out at the moment, and have quite a few things we no longer have a use for. Thus, it might be more convenient for us to offer them all at once - rather than separately.

Hi david_c,
Multiple-item ads are acceptable (post your ad in the Miscellaneous forum near the top of the Home Page).
However, multiple-item posts can be a bit tricky to manage -- for the Giver, Takers, and Admin alike.
To keep things clear, a Giver should "Quote" each potential Taker they reply to (the button is at the bottom right of the Taker's post) instead of using the "Post Reply" button, which is beneath the final post on the left of the ad/thread. This way, everyone knows who is talking to who etc.
Givers should also ask potential Takers to keep all correspondence on the public ad/thread and refrain from pm-ing until a request for contact details has been made by the Giver.
Regards

I know it might seem like a lot of work if you post things separately, but i must agree with sabrinabray, it makes things a lot clearer in the long run, and everyone knows where they stand. If you do go for the multiple post, Good luck. Just ask people to be clear about the items they are applying for. All the best.
