Posted for a friend .................................. Too embarrassed to admit its theirs

:laughing:

I have put the "posting for a friend in an ad before" - the reason was if I just put a phone number I also get a bunch of emails asking about it, then have to reply saying it is not mine and you need to call the number. Seemed to help but I must admit I still got a few emails anyway. A lot of people much rather email or text than talk to a human for whatever reason. Personally if I am really interested I really want to talk to you so I can find out the most information and get a "feel" for the seller.

That makes sense.

I think now craigslist allows you to disable the "reply by email" option.

Too bad. 99% my first response will be email. If call only, I usually don't. Figure they are wanting me to call to give hard sell.

Me too, especially if I find the ad at 11PM...

In my experience, the older generation wants to talk over the phone. I'm one of the young guys, so I prefer text or email.

Nice to know that not quite 68, I'm still one of the younger fellas.

Got a call late one night from a drunk woman that wanted to buy my tires. Shoulda had her come over.

One thing about the internet, you can delete an item when it's gone.

Back in 2000, I listed a Kubota for sale on this website. It could not be deleted. I got calls YEARS later.

Back in the early days of the web, webmasters had lots of old for-sale listings cuz otherwise they looked
vacant. Also happens with some newer websites, unfortunately. I am a big fan/user of ecommerce, since
even before the web.
