Do you think it is bad if I posted on both the cash section and the barter section?

I am thinking about doing that with my 2001 Jeep Cherokee.  List it for $2200 cash and barter but with different ads.

I would but CL might have a problem with it.  Your not suppose to list the same item in different categories.  You might be flagged.

If you do I would list with different subject lines and switch up info and pictures.  Probably wouldnt add phone number in text, or any easily searchable identifiers, that would pull up both ads together during search.

Bartering is real tough now because people are onto the game since the show came out and that red paperclip story. Everybody wants to give up nothing for something of value. I'd much rather trade cash for my stuff..

yeah its a little beat up but price isn't that out of range. that said for like another 300-400 you can get a nice camo one with gully net things covering the entire boat for hunting, sometimes a trailer or a trolling motor. basically for not much more you can often get something with more bells and whisltles

I have not bartered, but I would think that you put yourself a disadvantage by listing what you think it's worth. Is it not better to leave a price off of it and see what offers come in? I might have been interested in the boat, but if he thinks it's worth $500, I wouldn't even entertain the idea of sending an offer because I know right off the bat that we're not going to make a deal.

seems like everyone over values their stuff when it comes to a trade, and thats on both sides. also if you dont put a value your gonna wind up getting people trying to trade you a cd for your boat

True, but at least it's an offer!
