new classifieds successful?

I'm at the airport and i went to browse the classifieds and the server is down. It made me think...i used to surf them daily and i bought items frequently. Since the switch to the new classifieds, i think i have visited them no more then a few times. The listings seem pretty sparse. Are other people having different experiences? Is the new system making significant income for wera? I truly hope so, but if not is there any chance of going back?

 

Yeah, server is messed up. I just posted an R6 today and it isn't showing up yet, Whomp Whomp.

I have had success with the classified ads here though. Don't get me wrong, I don't like to pay, but it weeds out all of the people not willing to pay, and more attention to your item for sale, So I am cool with it.

 

I truly don't mind it. I bought little things here and there. I search a lot of different classifieds. I just add WERA as one of them. After what Mongo said about paying some of the bills in tough times likes this, I like it even better.

 

I think the other site may have had more traffic, but the new site is better. I like getting updates when something is posted. And I like being able to search brand specific items.

 

Doesn't work for me.Every other site i'm on it's free.Carolinas rc,semdtra,neo buggy,craigs list,Ebay.But i have to pay here.Uh no.

 

Couldn't care less about the money. Unfortunately it's just nowhere near as popular which sucks. With the old one, if you had a wild hair up your ass and wanted to buy a nice bike you could find one in 15 minutes flat. Do like the FB updates though, but that's because I don't check it near as often as the old one.

 

When some one has a number that you call and talk to them directly like when i bought the last motor for my flattrack bike from kentucky.And no i won't pay to buy anything from this site thats why i don't post on the classifieds.

 

Hell,i can't even sign into the classifieds.

 

Not this evening mongo.Anytime.Tried many times and it won't let me in.Not bitching it's just my opinion oh fucking great one.

 

Fairly stupid a road racing site charges to use the classifieds but an rc site doesn't.Wera that broke?Really?

The site works for me. 99 Cents to post a parts ad? Big fucking deal! I think my CC company is getting pissed at me for all these novel .99 charges. I also think the whole used parts scene everywhere has slowed down quite a bit in general everywhere, not just wera classifieds. People arent buying new shit so they arent getting rid of their old stuff either.. Noone has any extra cash to blow it seems.

 

Mongo, how much revenue does the classified section bring WERA? Have you considered seeking a sponsor for the whole classified section, rather than have it underwritten by the sellers?
