cl pics are useless for selling cars

Upload pics to photobucket and use links for your for CL ad. Pics will appear much larger and more detailed also you can load more than four . It is much easier to give people a good look at your car. It will sell much faster and easier. Cheers Dan

Yes, second the photobucket idea. You also have to keep keywords in mind when people search. You have alot more room to with your title

For example: 1981 Mercedes 300TD Turbo Diesel Wagon Good MPG Nice Cond.

I agree. It is tedious to read. I don't know why people do that. If you want it to appear large, increase the font size but don't use all caps.

$2900 seems pretty reasonable for a rust free wagon to me.

Calling StaggerLee...!

His just got totalled and he's probably gonna' be looking for another one to buy with his insurance check. You guys should talk...

CL

I had trouble with CL flagging my adds . . . they complained about me using "links" which were actually pictures . . .You sometimes see adds with bigger pictures, if you follow the help link, then there is a html link, that will tell you how to do it, just don't over do it . . .I had 19!

Also list "Have larger pictures I'll be happy to email you"

I would suggest to rewrite the ad as well. The grammar is poor; there is no punctuation; it is all capital letters. These things actually matter when you are trying to get the most money for a good.
I don't think the $2900 marks is out of line. I would definitely take a look at the car if i was in CO.

I didn't make it to the grammar. I saw all caps and didn't bother reading. I suspect some of the prospective buyers may be doing the same.
