I am about to post my entire pcp collection. Am I better off creating 1 classified with a description of all 17 guns or should I list each gun individually. Thank you for any feed back?

A single post would be rather unwieldy, while 17 posts would run other selller's ads off the page. Can you break the collection up into smaller sets of similar items? Good question 
Bullpups vs. pistols vs. benchrest? Wood stock vs. synthetic?

17 posts, and I say this only because once one is sold, it can marked sold and vanish from existence instead of marking them sold inside of the add….just my opinion.

If listing individually then list only 3-4, wait a day and repeat. Have the courtesy to allow others’s ads their day in the sun.

People usually make 1 post and list everything he wants to sell. Ppl do not like a guy who hog a whole page of items.

I'd group them too. When I see an entire page of for sales from one person I tend to skim right past them.

I agree with individual posts and also only making a few a day. List 4 at a time and then the odd man out number 17 could be a one of those days.

Ok, this is why I asked. Thank you for the feed back. I will list 2 or 3 per post with mention of collection for sale. I can always be PM'd if somone wants to inquire about the other guns for sale.
Thanks everyone

Think that is a good idea. Just put a list at the bottom of the other guns that you haven’t listed yet and people can pm. An ad with 17 guns and pictures of 17 guns would be more annoying than a flood of posts to me.

My head starts spinning reading posts with too many guns. Only way it makes sense is if you intend to sell only as a lot.
i would consider making individual posts, or smaller lots as mentioned above. Then maybe add a line at the bottom of all listing your other guns for sale, so someone would know you might bundle some others together. after making my latest purchase and receiving it, i realized the seller had other items I’d have been interested in. Would have been easier to ship them together!
I will also add, unlike others here, I don’t mind scrolling through pages in the classified section. I get excited when I see lots of new posts….
now I really want to know what kind of goodies you are putting on the market, getting excited thinking about it!

Not a problem. The moderators usually see things and move them where they are supposed to be.
