I can't seem to make this sound natural in English with respect to oferta/demanda.
The site is a website where oe can place free ads for goods/services needed and wanted, and the context is as follows:
PARA DAR DE ALTA O DE BAJA UNA OFERTA O DEMANDA LLAMAR O MANDAR UN SMS AL 630 - 750 - 333

: definitely // oh doesn't seem antiquated to me - but I know what you're thinking - "Wanted!" - you watch too many westerns! "To place a for sale or wanted listing, call...."

: not sure I have ever seen it like this in a newspaper. You certainly don't "request" an item - somehow doesn't seem right.

I felt the same way when I first thought of that, but otherwise, the choices seem so obvious that I didn't understand the need for input from us... Thanks for your feedback, Jim!
