Wtf? Why do so many people want to only know if it's still for sale then never to be heard from again... Drives me crazy! Is it a scam? Is it just to get your email address?

I think on my trailer ad over had 8 people email "is trailer still for sale"

I hope its a scam as that would make sense to me somewhat... ...if not ! We truly have 1000's of mindless morons among us!

This is often my first inquiry as deals go quick and often stuff is sold but the ad is still up. I look for more info if it's still available though not just window shopping.

I get it as the first question as I'm sure it's the same morons leave their ads on months after it sold then get mad when they have to respond. Another huge pia IMO
I talking about the clowns u never hear from again. To be honest the worst was when we had tons of baby stuff on there...after about 10 of them I told # 11 it's free come and get it ... She never got back to me !! Lol true story thou! $15 baby gate!

I always include in my ad "if you are reading this, the item is still for sale" and I never respond to " is this still for sale? " phuck off.

Ya I've done that too.. It didn't seam to help me! Maybe I attract the challenged !

I just figured it was a scam of some sort to get email addresses or something.

Kijiji is getting stupid with everyone on there. I hate the guys that ask if you add is still for sale and they are willing to give you your asking price for your add! They just need your pay pal account info so they can pay you for your add. Do they really think people are that dumb?

I was so happy to sell my bike the other night. I think the biggest thing was being able to delete the kijiji ad. Same issue, lots asking etc but only one came to look. Buddy bought it. Pretty happy he did. I made the mistake of riding it just before he looked at it. Was the only ride I had on it. Wanted to keep it after that.

I do a lot of wheelin and dealing on kijiji and I find it's really easy to weed out the idiots it's just unfortunate there are so many to weed out.Went and looked at a Raptor 700 R this morning, was going to trade my 900 RMK staight across, was a good guy and was willing to do the deal but I backed out,just didn't feel right. You guys are thinking "should have done it" but I happen to have one of the good RMK,s and figured it was worth more. Fawk I Love Wheelin And Dealin! Started a deal today on a 2013 Proclimb for the wife, this one may take a month or so but will see what happens. There are deals to be had, timing is everything, my turbo is a great example!

I can't see paying for adds would help weed out the tards. It's the buyers that are the idiots in most cases.

I hear ya lots of good stuff ! Like you said timing is everything, I've bought 85% of my snapon and Mac tools from there. I guess that's what makes me crazy. I don't email someone unless I'm know what it is and I want to buy it!

And yes you should have traded for that raptor! Lol

It's a free web site to sell crap on, you get what you pay for.

Ya paying won't change anything. I think the problem is keyboard Heros hiding in their moms basement behind the screen. It's too easy to hit send with no consequence ! IMO

Just like I've been called a a-hole on this forum before but I'm sure smalld!c wouldn't say it to my face so easy !
