While my new forum is still in Beta I was experimenting with Mary's Classifieds also but it got dumped before all the bugs were solved and I had to look also for another solution.
I couldn't find anything similar and had to come up with another solution.

I started using this MOD: Easy Forms: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234385.

It doesn't automate the whole process like the Classifieds mod did but now at least all my classifieds threads have the same look and looks pretty neat.
You have tons of possibilities to create those forms and the poster has to fill out the form which then gets posted as a thread. You can even make it possible when the user clicks on the "new thread" button for your classifieds forum he always gets directed to that particular form. This way all your threads will look similar.

Below are a few screenshots to show how my form and threads look like.
Maybe this might help a little to replace the Classifieds mod.
