The VAF Classifieds - Using A Business Model You Will Like.

  - FREE to view all listings! (unlike Trade-a-Plane)
  - FREE to submit listings with as much text and as many images as you like! (unlike Trade-a-Plane and Barnstormers)
  - INSTANTLY live the second you click 'Submit'!
  - EDIT your information after you post it!

 

How to search for a specific topic:

Go to the VAF Forums and click on the 'Advanced Search' link. Use the following (3) screen shots for search ideas.

Example one: Looking for RV-8A (things with 'RV-8A' in the subject line)
                     

Example two: Looking for RV-6A Kit
                     

Example three: Looking for Tools
                     

TIP: Bookmark the VAF Advanced Search page as a favorite to make searching quicker.

Or, if you would rather just look through all the listings sequentially, simply go to the Classified section of the VAF Forums. The posts with the newest entries are at the top. 

How to submit a listing:

- You need to be registered (free).
- Make sure you are logged in. Go to the VAF Forums and click on the Classified section. Click on 'New Thread'.
- Make the Title (Subject) line appropriate for what you are listing (something like the examples below):

• FS: RV-8A California
• FS: RV-6A Tail & Wing Kit (Oklahoma)
• FS: Tools
• WTB: RV-7A project
• WTB: Flying RV-6

- Insert up to (7) images per post (how to). If you need to post more than (7) images, that's perfectly OK - simply post a 'reply' to your original listing with (5) more, and so on...and so on. There is a 5-image per post limit, so you can post as many replies with (7) images in each as you need. There are a thousands of places on the web to host your images for free (here's how to do it using one of the popular ones - ImageShack).

Editing Your Ad(s) After you Submit Them:

If you are logged into the forums you can find your post and look for the 'Edit' button. It's pretty self-explanatory after that.

Keeping Your Ad(s) In The News:

Find your post every few weeks or so and post a 'reply' to it with additional information - anything that has changed, that kind of thing.  Doing this will put your ad back in the attention of those people who only check the forums using the 'Today's Posts' and/or 'New Posts' links.

Enjoy the VAF Classifieds and tell your friends about this FREE alternative to online classifieds.

PS: The VAF Classifieds section of the VAF Forums are the up-and-coming replacement for the VAF 'Featured' Classifieds. I will be phasing these out over the next 60 days (starting 6/1/06).
