Advise: adding the post_id plus user_id to the slug would that be okay?

    Just curious, maybe there is a better idea..

    I have created a Custom Post Type where people can add there own (classifieds items) but because most users will choose the same titles for their posts I try to avoid getting +1 urls at the end, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5. So I came up with an idea to attach the post_id + user_id to the end of the slug. This will generate unique slugs at the end of the day for every post.

    Like this:
    example.com/post_type/post-title-created-by-users_id=2457/

    245 = post_id
    7 = user_id

    Just would like to know how this would effect towards the future. Could this bite me in the (*) towards the future?
