Default new requirement to post in the "for sale" section?

would anyone else like to see it be made mandatory to have a location in your profile in order to post in the for sale section?
i find myself hard pressed to find an ad where i dont have to ask WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED!? and then wait a day or more for them to reply before i can even decide if i should be interested or not.

yes sir.........

there's been more times than i can remember where i was interested in knowing the location without asking. it just makes things a lot simpler, and requires less time to get things done. however, how can you be sure if where they say they are is legit or not?

later,
Dave

the same way you determine if the product is legit or not...you can't without phone number or something to prove it...

it just lets you see if it'd be worth your while to look into it more.
im sure some people will make their location "stfu" or "your moms house" or some such thing but still, the majority or people would probably give thier real location and make it easier for us to guage our interest in the items being sold.

Just ask the seller for his location and phone number. I do it all the time. No biggie
