Just wondering, I posted a wanted ad (not long ago I realize, this isn't meant to sound like whining or anything) But was noticing some ad's that have been there for quite a while have only like 6 views.
Maybe only 6 people have the item in queston, and are willing to part with it...
In the for-sale forum, people will often look at an ad even if they are not all that interested in the item in question, just in case it turns out to be a great deal that they can't pass up. A lot of other people take a look because they have no idea what the item being sold is, and they are curious.
For a Wanted ad, there is no point in someone looking inside your ad when they can tell (from just seeing the thread tile in the forum) that they don't have the item you are looking for. Consequently, the number of views for a wanted ad is naturally going to be a whole lot lower than for a for-sale ad.
