Well population would calculate into this but that's a hard sell anywhere.

You need to find someone that needs not just an oven.....but a wall oven...a stainless wall oven..and a DOUBLE stainless wall oven at that.

Kinda like selling a pair of tuxedo pants with 40 inch waist and 20 inch leg.  You have a limited market.

You know, I'm going to be at Home Depot this week.  I'm going to ask how many they sell on average....

« on: August 01, 2013, 02:42:46 PM »
This months promotion: No insertion, no final value fee!

Anyone get this, use this?   I haven't fully read all the small print.   Any catch to this promo?

You guys must not put much value on your time because almost everyone on cl shows up later than they say. I coudl pack up 50 ebay orders in the time I sit for 30 minutes waiting for a buyer to show up or maybe never shows up at all. Also gas money to go meet people places since it seems many people don't like people comming to their home. Also now days on ebay most professional sellers offer free shipping as you get higher ranking that way, they just build shipping into the price. Packing materials dont cost that much and lots of stuff you can use recycled items for packaging materials.


I have plenty of time on my hands right now so, no, I don't mind meeting people.
That said, as posted elsewhere, I live in a unique area compared to others I see post here. Makes CL a perfect tool.  Highly populated, diverse groups....
 I never have to drive very far.  Maybe 10-15min away.  If I go farther I make other plans in he area.
Meet family or friends.  Go picking/thrifting.


And with smalls, ebay/paypal fees can eat profit.  I've had 23% taken before.  I'm mainly picking and a lot of items only have $5-$10 markup.  I can't afford free shipping or fees.

Plus where I meet people is where he post office is so gas is the same if I meet a CL buyer or ship.
My postman is not reliable to pick up.  Last week he skipped my pick up three days running.

I like to provide as much information as I can. that way there is no surprises when they come out to look at something.

Still doesn't stop people from showing up in a car to buy a table!

I gave HxWxL, Circumference and eight pictures with "reference items" to show size on the poker table and still SIX people came and said "oh.  I didn't realize it was so big....."

It's a TABLE!  You drive a Civic. You *really* thought it would fit in your car?!

There isn't much going on here.  Last two weeks there has been a lot of cancelations or 1-2 units per facility by auction day.

Was heading deep South today to attend but got a call and given box seats and free valet, food and programs at the Track.   Sounds way more fun and probably have better odds on the horses than auction....

Don't worry about it, Travis.
MM is actually CIA and uses his forum to pass messages.  Clearly "red shirt" when everyone can see its 'salmon' is code or 'target'.   And dbr's answer of "he shirt is orange, he wears it often" is 'target acquired, elimination in progress"

Soon this thread will be deleted and those who speak of it will disappear.   Just ask Craig's and Money....oh....wait, you can't!   They've vanished!   Hmmmmm.

I don't now.  Miss Craig's input.  He was nice, sent me a bunch of cell phones, free of charge, not even shipping, to practice fixing them.

Miss Money too.

I don't waste my time with vague ads, and if you don't include at least one picture then forget it, you'll never hear from me.

Like people that drive around with a For Sale sign on their car with just a phone number, no price.
Hate that.   And dealers do it all the time on CL.  "Call for price" = I'll try and figure out what you can pay.

A buddy of mine got $1500 for an old school bus.

For scrap?

Dang!  I'll have to look into this!  My moms neighbor has several sitting on his back property.  Probably been there 20yrs....
