WHAT I WOULD LIKE INCLUDED IN A WANTED AD
A fairly specific title
(so if whatever turns up - one may find the ad again) A search for "fabric wanted" may or may not have the ad (or other posting) included. If one has something specific in the title like "tiger" will narrow the search and improve the chances of finding it again.
Example: Want to buy: Red and white stripe flannel
In the body part of the ad:
As much description as possible
How much of whatever you want - and how much you need
Example: one inch wide white stripes with 1/2 inch red stripes,
Would like three continuous yards. Can make do with three one-yard pieces.
If you are willing to pay for it, or are willing to pay or trade, or are ONLY willing to trade for the item(s).
