My new craigslist want ad

Postby NHsorter » Sun Nov 20, 2011 9:57 am

I have had very little luck with responses to a few different craigslist want ads that I have put up. I even tried listing my offer prices on common stuff. Here is my new angle. It'll be funny as hell if this works. More likely is that it will get flagged in about 20 mins.

WANTED: Silver, Gold, Old Coins

I am a collector of Silver, Gold, and other old coins. I am interested in all sorts of different stuff so let me know what you have. Meet me in a public place like Dunkin Donuts, we can have a coffee and bitch about Obama. Then I'll pay you more than a coin shop will for your coins.

One thing I don't see on your CL add is what you specifically buy and how much you buy them for. Try to itemize and add pictures, you will get more emails that way.

I have tried that a few times, but it never worked. So far this ad has not worked either.

I have the same problem here. Always some dillweed out there flagging ads. I put one up two states away where we are going to visit this week and have had some success. At least it was not flagged.
