You mispelled craigslist. You forgot the letter "s" between craig
and list. It should be "craigslist".
Last year, I decided to sell my old used car after having it for
nearly 9 years because I am not getting good mpg on it. With gas is
so incredibly high these days, I need to buy something more fuel
efficient. To make a long story short, I advertised my used car
online at craigslist with some photos. I normally advertise my
stuffs I need to sell using the local newspaper print. To save some
$$$, I decided to go with online advertising. So, I listed my used
car at craigslist. Within 15 minutes or so, it got listed. I saw my
ad. Wow. Happy. And it's does not cost me a penny. After I walked a
way from my computer for the day that morning, I checked my ad
listing again that night. I browsed from one page to the next and
did that a few more times before I saw my ad listed. Like you said
and I agree with you, my ad listing was 7 pages deep. I said "Wow!"
Where in the world are all of these ads come from after mine? I
don't even know if anyone had even seen my ad given the fact that it
is listed on page #7 out of #???. I got my answer soon enough. After
a week without a buyer, I returned to old fashion advertising. My
local newspaper! Even though it cost me money to place the ad at the
local newspaper, I finally sold my used car 4 days later.
