Craigs List Woes
About 3 weeks ago I tried to sell my 56 3100 on Craigs, with 5 pics. Now, I gotta say she is in excellent condition so my starting price was fair and was willing to negotiate. I expected some calls, but I knew money is tight right now, so I advertised in the Denver area about 250 miles from me in WY. I got one legit call that offered me a crazy low price over the phone without ever seeing my truck! This gripes me. I'd never make an offer on a car or truck without being there in person to look at it! Thats why ebay is out of the question for me to buy on. I like to touch it, get under it, drive it and shoot the s*#$ with the owner. Well there's the only real call. The others are from dealers wanting to sell my ride for me. Heck, if I wanted a dealer, I wouldn't have used Craigs right?! All in all it didn't work for me. Even worded the ad as "will also trade for 67-72 Chev truck". Thought that might get a little attention. I pulled my ad after one week.
How many of you have had success with Craigs List? And if you have, can you give us some suggestions on wording the ad etc. |
