Dear Carsales.com.au,
I was hoping it wouldn’t get to this point but sigh, here we are. I’m currently having trouble with quite a few of your users and I’m sure I’m not the only one experiencing this level of confusion, grief and occasional complete bewilderment. Although on a positive note, I may have a solution I’d like to float by you..
I know this post about used cars is probably better suited for my car blog Drive Another Day but I wrote a similar one there roughly three years ago and it’s amazing how little has changed since then.
The situation: I’m selling my car and while waiting for that to happen, I’m looking at options for the next one. What I’m finding instead are used car ads where the details are more non-existent than affordable rentals in Sydney at the moment..
Once again I find myself amazed by Facebook classifieds. Because here I was thinking that nobody would want a bent and broken marquee frame that was just taking up space in the backyard, but as soon as I posted it up a decent line started to form..
What I’m trying to do: Sell an old bike.
What’s happening instead: Another reminder on how Facebook Classifieds is 1 part selling success but 19 parts equal hilarity and frustration..
Now who’d want a dead Aldi lawn mower let alone three of them? Turns out a lot more than I thought when I put the ad up last night. Now I’ve saved myself a trip to the tip and freed up some more space in the rotunda out back – and all before the second coffee of the weekend!
