If you're sick of all the flag happy users on Craigslist this site
might be worth checking out.
Already has a lot of listings. So similar to craigslist, I believe it
might catch on. Unless CL sues because the site looks just like CL.
100% free. NO flagging.
I'm tired of the headaches with CL. Seems like it gets worse
every year.

I looked around at this clone... not real impressed by what I saw...
Seems that no matter what state and city you look in, there are listings for all other states included....
I do not care to see listings for California or Washington if I live on the east coast....
And it is the same listings no matter where I looked...
Think I will stick with Craigslist for now....
Maybe watch it to see if things improve...
But maybe I am wrong in my observations... maybe it is the newest thing to become a multi-million dollar deal.... |

It looks as if they are cross posting local ads to fill up categories
until they build up more users and traffic.
I do believe users are making the same mistake with CL as they
did with eBay.
Shortsighted to assume CL will always be free and shortsighted
to believe the limitations and restrictions will not continue to increase.
In addition to the headaches with flag happy users deleting legitimate
posts, they are also deleting listings for anyone who is "overposting".
And in typical CL fashion they are not specifying the number of
posts considered to be "overposting". They are deleted with no
notice or explanation.

This may be true, but what is wrong with paying a little to make some business profit. They are in business for the same reason we are. MOOLA!!! I don't see why sellers who are listing a lot of product would mind or (should mind) to give a little pocket change for the service. The ones who only sell every now and then just help those using it as a venue to attract buyers with a large selection of merchandise, so the free ad rule should apply for them. You get what you pay for.
You also get extra benefits for that spare change by being able to legally add a link to your website or selling venue, thus increasing your sales off CL, not to mention the flag bearers don't have as much pull with the paying customers. Just a few things to consider IMO. |

I don't mind. But if Craigslist is offering this option its news to me.
No big deal. My sales are increasing from my listings on oodle.com
The best alternative to CL currently available.

You can pay the 10.00 a month business fee to get these options.
Thanks for the oodle info, sounds like it is definately worth checking out. :D |
