OT: Craigslist Abuse


Recommended Posts

I know retail businesses can place ads on Craigslist for free, but one Pennsylvania business has gone over the top by posting over 12 acoustic pianos today, dropping all the other ads way down (or off) the first page. The music instrument category gets enough traffic as it is, especially with various double postings. :mad:

 

I've never seen any business do this before.

Not that unusual to see that on Minnesota Craigslist for some reason. Very annoying, especially when they are all "contact for price" or "best offer".

pennswoods.net had the same problem. They changed their rules that only allows ONE FREE ad in any category. Apparently, if anyone tries to Post a 2nd ad in the same category, their system doesn't allow you to Post it.

CL is a site where rules are quite loose. Almost anything goes

 

which includes ' annoying ' marketing techniques.

 

Its a total " buyer beware' site. Not front page news, just in case CL ' sellers' surprise anyone

Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?
