Why do people who post in classifieds?

[Bighead]

Not read other peoples posts. There are many people looking for things that are right there for sale

Maybe they do but price or condition or other factors prevent a deal between those two.

I read the classifieds every time I sign in. I have gotten many fantastic deals on great stuff from fellow members. Never disappointed.

Some of the stuff I bought include, Solo Rack, Cobra 6-into-sixes, front fender, rear fender, custom tail light,
custom license plate and signal lights combo. I/S tank, HONDALINE Valkyrie m/c cover, I/S bra, heel-toe shifter, tow hitch and more...
Patience is key!

Just the other night I contacted a member who was looking for something, but the person selling it posted after the wanted post. So that wasn't an issue of someone not reading the posts.

There are lots of hit and run posts in the classified. People who join for the sole purpose of posting their ad.

I know there are many reasons but dang it drives me nuts.

I agree, I had an OEM windshield listed for weeks with not one response. I even spread the item by word of mouth. Nothing! I finally gave up and put it on ebay which is the last thing I wanted to do. It sold but by the time you figure the ridiculous fees both ebay and paypal charge, I really didn't make any money. And to think someone on here could have had it for nearly the same amount with no fees.
