Why waste your time, if you have no intention of ever buying?

Like Rainger said, the number of potential lookers/buyers on TOTV is dramatically smaller than on Facebook, Ebay, etc.
A comment I'll make is, truth bomb alert, most of the Classified ads on here are terrible. I contend that the listers wouldn't buy something based on their own images and text. I don't know what they're thinking when they post them.
Suggestions from a long time online marketer:
-- Good images matter! Use the best lighting you have, get up close to object and post the largest size photo this site allows.
-- Dimensions matter! Amazes me how many post furniture ads with no dimensions provided.
-- Describe the condition of the item and any other key attributes
-- Mention the
Village name where it can be seen/picked-up. And include the price IN THE AD not just in the title. Otherwise, viewers are having to flip back and forth as they go thru ads. It's annoying. I would also include the date listed in the ad.
Bottom line: Think about what info, you as a buyer, would want to see to be interested in taking the next step.
