Hi

If you rethinking of selling a car/item ... FYI 

Am selling one of my other cars - Alfa 159...

Both identical ads on Gumtree/ F Ad for past week 

Friday ad - has 115 views - Gumtree 511 views - both posted at the same time 

Friday ad I paid for the "upgrades " such as boost tp the top etc - not even a nibble less a bite - 

Gumtree - completely free and  trickle of viewings/ buyers and I am hopeful it will go today..

 

Matt

Gumtree is riddled with spambots and time wasters. How’s Friday adds for this?

I sold my last car on Friday ad, (both in print and on the internet) and it went on the first Thursday so a day before the car was officially out in the publication!, Might have been someone who worked there.

Wouldn't know..... as I am yet to get an enquiry to my ad placed on F Ad .

 

Its an Alfa Romeo 159  and maybe people just don't appreciate design and engineering masterpiece what they see it anymore  :D

Apparently so...

 

perhaps they are very wealthy and don't look for those dirty bargains and 2nd hand goods...

Gumtree is like ebay but with more idiots lol
