Craigslist to start charging to post vehicles for sale.

[bikrboy128]

I sold a cr-v this past week. skipped CL because it costs money and posted to FB. I had people crawling up my ass looking to buy the car on Easter Sunday. 35 messages in total by Monday afternoon. First person to look at it Monday night (in the pouring rain) brought cash and took the car. I've never had that kinda of response on CL

I need to sell our civic, so worth paying $5?

IMO yes, you're good for 30 days, a lot of people still look at craigslist to buy shit.

"will you take 2/3s of what you're asking cuz that's all i have?"

"okay well when can i come see the car"

RIP CL

 

[10sec]

It could be RIP, but it also could be a good thing. All of those fuckin' scam ass pieces of shit will be gone for the most part, and the people that post 60 GD ads for the same piece of shit car will be gone. Now, they'll ruin everything else that's free. So RIP everything else and door open for CL.

That's what I was thinking.

I have an alert for a certain boat and this cockbag posts his from oklahoma 8 fucking times a day.

Yea good point, I’d hope it’s at least the 45 days or however long an ad goes for.

 

[Yaj Yak]

when i did it yesterday it said 30 days for my ad in chicago c-list.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Can’t wait to see the creatures that reply for a $2500 commuter car

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Will you take a payment plan?

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I have to sell the FIL's $5000 mazda pretty soon....I'll pay the $5 because what KJ says about low inventory makes sense.

Might even increase the price $500 just to see how it goes.

fuck you fuckers

Sounds like my experience with let go and offer up so far.

 

[Outlaw]

The one thing that’s pissing me off is that it’s all dealer posts now. I would’ve liked to see it get cleaned up to the point where I don’t see 30 of the exact same post

That’s pretty much par for the course on FB. Nobody has the balls to talk on the phone anymore.

I think I’m going to give this $5 thing a chance. I’ve sold two vehicles since they changed it off of CL, conveniently both I had made the day before so they got grandfathered in.

I wake up between 430 & 5 for work.

I always make sure to call/text those people back at that time.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I do and when you text “how much less” you don’t have any money.

 

[daturbosix]

you got a high population of mexicans out there?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Best $5 I’ve ever spent. Listed at 10pm, sold at 3pm next day for more than expected.

i feel like all this did was make the scammers go to the other areas.

boats & rv/camper ads are FLOOOOOOODED with these scam ads

 

[DEEZUZ]

Dude this sucks.

Went from my 2 SHO's a week on there to 0 SHO's per week... That a 100% decrease.

 

[Mook]

Its for the best.
