    Craigslist Ads - No Calls, is it time to give up?

    I have had no calls posting ads in the "for sale" section of Craigslist (EXCEPT THE FREE SECTION)



    Last night, I did a little experiment to see how people would respond to my ads.



    1. I posted a Canon EOS Rebel T2 FE28-90 in the free section, to see what would happen. Few minutes later, I was FLOODED with calls.
    I got so many calls I had to take down posting and my typical response was that "I already gave it away to someone else".

    2. Then an hour later, I reposted the same camera in the ELECTRONICS section, and this time for 5 bucks.

    The result? No calls. Common really???? It's ONLY 5 bucks!!! And you still are not willing to pay for it?


    Here is my listing:

    Based on the results, I am coming to the conclusion that people on Craigslist want EVERYTHING for free, and don't want to have to pay a single dime for it.
