    Congrats on the AC's and finding a nugget on CL!



    Craigslist is one of those..You truly have to stay on top if it kind of things. Just posting once every month or so will assure you don't get much if any business. This rule doesn't apply normally if your in a small area tho. Ha!

    Anyhow..back to CL. I've always had decent luck with it. I also live on a sandbar so don't have to deal with as much crap to filter out as some of you folks. I expect Hobo out in Tucson, or Sledge in Indy, or Urban down in Florida..an many others have way more BS to wade through then me, or Matador, or NH, or Patriot.

    You get out of it what you put into it though. If you slack with CL an don't stay on top of your ads/posts, reply in a timely fashion, it's going to be more miss then hit for you. Between competition, idiots reporting your post cause well...their idiots, an other stuff...posting one time is probably not going to work out well for you. I would never stop using CL, even in a bigger city/market. I wouldn't make it my only source tho either. All your eggs in one basket and all that.

    Just another tool in the chest.
