I really think they shouldn't be different categories, but should mixed in with the for sale ads, with a WTB: prefix on the title. I just can't see anyone browsing WTB ads, even if they have something for sale.

I hadn't seen that. Thanks.
Two things, though... The default size is too large. It should be about the same size as its default serifed counterpart, or the same size as is being used up in the header links.
Second, I think someone else mentioned this elsewhere... This really makes that style unusable. Both the forum lists and text in messages have _no_ line spacing when using this style. Not sure if a simple 'line-height' CSS style would affect the ul lists or not. Try something like:
line-height: 1.33;
Maybe if used in the 'body' style it would cascade to both the lists and text.

Serifed fonts are generally harder to read on a computer monitor, from all the studies that I've read. Among the common sans-serif fonts, I tend to prefer verdana over arial. Again, just easier to read.

For searches and alerts, you can really only do a substring searches through the title, maybe with some simple wildcard matching (ala eBay). Well, you can try to make it more complicated, but why? It just makes it more likely that searches will fail. So you don't gain anything by breaking out brand and model.

Right. That's what I mean. You don't want a user to have to edit their location just to have it come up differently in an ad. Looking at many user profiles, you'll see many locations that are purposely obscured or some attempt being made at humor. That's not at all beneficial within a classified listing.
