 Topic: sigh.....
Posted: 10 Jun 2022 at 6:18am |
OK, even though I have a year left to remove my tractors and implements from next door, I post an ad for everything on Kijiji ( like CL up here....). Bottom line in the ad, 'Please reply with reasonable offer and phone number'. So far, after 6 weeks and 74 emails only ONE has done as asked... sigh.... funny one today, guy wants to know if the Monatana 5' rototiller will work with his 'compact 20HP tractor' !!!
dbl sigh...

Not sure why people don't read the whole AD. or they just don't care. Do you respond back to the emails?
Do you know if the prices listed on Kijiji are in Canadian or US dollars?
thanks, Dan |

Many products have largely moved from CL to Facebook Marketplace. Too many people are on FB all the time and too easy to list stuff there (I hate it because search and sorting is so problematic there). Go on the other classified sites 'offer up'/etc and do a search for that same equipment you are trying to sell and see where most of the activity happens.
Then list your items separately not all in one listing.
Adjust price for how long you want to own the items too. 'Free' things vanish in twenty minutes of being listed. Maximum priced/value items will be there for months. Somewhere between those numbers will maximize your cash and minimize the time messing around selling.
Set your price, you need to have a price in there, and don't talk about 'reasonable price' or 'OBO' in the listing unless you will take a lot less. And low balling is an entry into the negotiating game, take it as a game not an insult. You can come back with a 10% reduction from your listed price and say you can do that. They will likely counter something a lot higher but still maybe low. You can come down 5%. They will either come up to your now 15% off or walk away. It's a game.

I have bought a handful of things from FB marketplace over the past 2 years. Have scored some good deals. I see a lot of stuff that is high priced sits for weeks and weeks. Other stuff that seems reasonable moves in a hurry. Though a visible "price cut" if it doesn't move in a few days/weeks seems to help entice people. I got an old 5HP snowblower for $200 a couple years ago that just needed some small parts. Drill press, shop lights, tool boxes, etc.

kijiji works well here...
Used stuff is a hot market. Lots of people want to be small farmers and grow big gardens and a few animals.
Maybe its a survival motive?

Jay, i looked at your SALE POST.... The HEADING is FARM TRACTORS , and your photo is of a disc or tiller............ I would say to break up the posts and put "ALLIS D14 TRACTOR" ... you could put all 3 tractors on the same SALE, but at least give them TOP BILLING... Then list " TRACTOR IMPLEMENTS " and divide them up as 3 point or snap coupler..
Took me a while to find your SALE with "no ALLIS" in the heading, and tractor photos way at the back.. ............
also you need a BASE PRICE of your expectations.... NOBODY is going to "GIVE ME AN OFFER" without knowing what your BALL PARK is to start with.

I use Craig's List. Each item has a separate ad. I make sure "Allis" is in the title. That is the key search word. I always put a price. To me it is not for sale unless there is a price. Hope this helps.
