I Had A Dream

[dragrcr50]

I had a dream that I could actually buy something off of the hamb for sale area, I had a dream that the guy would answer my inquiry, I had a dream that this time i might get it done.

oh well three times , three diff guys no answer when you try to buy something. and then you use names like epay, egay whatever but at least by god they sell me shit when I try........and i was going to list my 32 chassis for the model a... Ill just put it on e b a y ......:cool:

Yah, well you should try putting something on craigslist! Bunch "o" morons!!!!! mutch worse, I have had good luck here and not to bad over on fordbarn pluss jockeyjournal, It just depends on the guy! dont let this burn ya, like I dont have a credit card and cant use evilbay. so a little paisents is required.......Roach.

[dragrcr50]

I would think an answer of some sort would be in order if you place an ad to sell something, say within a week ..........

I've been experiencing the exact opposite. Except it's on Craigslist.

I post a good add with a detailed description and pictures. I get emails everyday saying "very interested", and asking for my phone number.

I check my email several times a day and always politely respond with my phone number..... and that's the last I hear from them. :confused:

Hmmmmmmmm....maybe with almost 30,000 registered HAMBers, the ads move off the 1st page so quickly the sellers can't find their own ads? I really don't know.....just throwing ideas out there. I've not heard this complaint before and I appreciate knowing about it..
Maybe the sellers are just so damn rich they don't need the money?

It's a weekness. The for sale stuff done like a forum is not a very effective marketing model. It needs to be totally re-done, but then there's probably no one interested in the job...

I knew another guy who had a dream...he was named after the leader of the Protestant Reformation....Martin something. Let me do a Google search and I'll get back to you.

it ain't hard to find your own ad.
go to "private messages" link at the upper rh of the page and then go to "subscriptions"
real tough.
if I can figger it out, anybody, and i mean anybody can figger it out...;)

Don't reply on the ad... Send a PM.

I'll say that if I'm selling a car and someone writes asking me to sell them just the side trim, or grille, or some other kind of car or part entirely... I just delete it.
No response in that case is the same as saying "fuck off"....

Were your inquiries 'off topic' or insultingly low-ball in price...?
Maybe that's the case...

...but, like I said...
Send a PM... don't reply on the ad.

I'm having the same trouble on Evil-bay ,I try to put all relavent info in the add ,and then they ask the same questions as stuff in the add,why don't they read the add.

[tdoty]

Wow, I find buying stuff in the HAMB classifieds to be entirely too easy! With a much cooler selection of items for sale, I find the temptation much harder to resist than buying on ebay. I also like having a price right there, take it or leave it.

Only problem I've had so far was the "late '40s" Ford backing plates that turned out to be '52s..........and, so far, useless to me. Well, a couple of the "pretty nice" wide 5 wheels in the same deal are kinda questionable too.......................
