Southern cars??? A few years ago I was in North Carolina going through a good junk yard. This guy had some decent cars. I got talking to him and he asked where I was from. I told him I was from BC, Canada. He said he knew where that was and half the cars in his junk yard were from Saskatchewan. He said he sells a lot of them to people from Canada.

I emailed a guy awhile back that had a Lincoln Welder for sale locally. No description, but price was reasonable.

I mailed: "Ok, you have a weldor,, BUT,,, we NEED to know what amperage it is!!"

Guy mails back, "Just come and see it."

I didn't reply, then another email to me , asking,"Are you comming to see it, or are you one of these "A-holes" that just answers Ads for something to do?"

Lol,,, Sure some strange people out there,, CLUELESS!!

I love this;
Will you take "X" for it? I say "that sounds reasonable, when do you want to come and get it" and never hear back.

Time wasters....I guess its all part of the deal. I thought offering to deliver would be helpful, but doesn't appear to be

     Been getting alot of this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  never hear from them gasholes!

Hey Pete. It's absolutley amazing the amount of MORONS out there in this world. Some of the responses that you get for an ad should be in Ripley's Believe it or not!

John.

You know this post has me thinking. I have an ad on Kijiji right now and you know what I would really like you guys to critique it. No holds barred. Here it is

Hey Rochie.

Here are a few thaughts on your ad.

I did some research for ya.

 

There are currently 5  Mercury Montego listed for sale on all of kijiji Canada.

 

Your 1970 listed at $14,500 obo

Calgary 1969 listed at $10,000 obo

3 in regina.

2 parts cars .......best offer

another Regina one needs full restore no asking price.... just best offer

Yours is def the best in all of Canada. And it seems a rare car. Put that in your ad.

 

 You have 8 spots for pictures....use them all. Ad a picture of other rims/tires, maybe a picture of "rare" options letter, and maybe a picture of Complete front.

 

I dont know if you just hit the repost button, but if you have had that many views, as a buyer, I want to think I am the first one to see it or have the chance to buy it. Dont post "if you see this ad I still have it! Doesnt really inspire me to race out and have a look at it.

I would maybe think that if that many views....... peaple have came and looked at it and why didn't they buy it??? ( May not be true..... but thats how peaple think)

Please! Repost your ad after 2 weeks or if you have more then 600 views and change the pictures around.

If you decide to reduce your price mention that in the ad....peaple that have been watching it might take a second look.And if they have been watching it and you remove and repost ad.....they'll find it again but while they are looking, they be thinking its sold and be pi$$ed they didnt act sooner.

Its a great car!!! but a lot of work to sell anything on kijiji for sure. You have to deal with so many peaple that waste your time, but if you include as much info as possible in your ad, it helps wean out some of them and all you need is 1 person..

Just my 2 cents...Hope it helps .. but remember... ya get what ya pay for.. and it is free advise.

I took JAzz's advice when my add came due, upped the price on the Catalina had a few inquiry's + a trade I'm interested in,but now he's backing out, then it DIED!! I still think once you go over the 10 Grand mark, theres very little interest!!!!

I think the ad and the car look good. I notice you have a lot of views so I don't know why it hasn't sold. But then I don't think anything over $10K is selling right now. Soon there will be an onslaught of every classic known to man on kijiji so if you really want to sell, lowering the price might be your best option because it will soon be lost in the tsunami.

That's one good looking Montego and the price doesn't seem out of line. Only thing I would ad is a nice shot of the front end.
I have an ad on there now stating no trades and still have trade offers, so far one part trade for a crossbow and another for a sailboat.

A week isn't that long for kijiji. I would keep bumping it up. For $2.99 it's cheap. The last vehicle I had on there got a couple of new phone calls whenever I would bump it and it eventually sold. If you don't bump it, it quickly disappears as many don't go back more than a few days.

Forgot to mention i just had a Kijiji selling experience, for a set of heavy cast iron lathe legs. (They just sold.)
However i got two dumb responses, one from a guy in Quebec, didn't want to pay for shipping them, (they weigh about 150lbs,)- he suggested just send them in a CARDBOARD BOX !!

Second response was from a guy in the US , who asked if i could deliver them to Kingston area, and meet him there, as he could come up to the american side ,, come across, and pick them up there in his boat!!

There are some strange people .

I love Kijidiots Best sex ever,like a bad date,they call you,say they want to meet you,then never show up,good Fu#king,or they actually show up and didn't relize that you were asking that much and YOU wasted their time for coming that far to look at you item.Next time I think if someone shows up wanting to buy something and wants it for half price,I am going to chain them to a tree,rip thier pants off,and with a wooden spoon smother their parts with peanut butter and let the guard dog figure it out.Sparky is not to fond of Kijidiots. :)

I liked everything except for the fact it's a Front Wheel Drive (FWD)!?!

I sold my car on Kijiji. I had it on a number of times over a 2 year period. The usual fodder of tire kickers, and a couple of decently interesting trade offers. Even a guy that came to see it, showed up on a brand new full dress Harley. Nice guy,  spent a hour with me talking about and looking over the car. He said he wanted it and would be back the next day with cash, never to be seen again.

Then I made a video walk around and offered a link to anyone interested. Sold the car 2 weeks later.

 

Reviving an old thread to vent on my kijiji experience.

I've had my 60s ford truck for sale since last fall. It's priced over $5k under the appraisal, and I've been working on it ever since getting things done like a new windsheild, and cleaning wiring up etc.

The ad clearly states the price is firm, and it only needs tires to get on the road. I even added that if you're reading this ad i still have it. But I still get over a dozen emails a week asking what the truck needs to get back on the road, if i still have it, and what my lowest price is!

The rest of the emails are ridiculous trade offers, and questions that really have nothing to do with the ad such as "what color was the truck in 1970?". How would i know? Ive only owned it for three years.

I m glad I m done with selling for this year , blood pressure finally going down , 2 more cars to go next year olllllllllll

strange when you find the right buyer I sold my nova last year and the one person that I was pretty ignorant when I send him a reply is actually the one who bought the car .....I had a few four letter words in the reply

Heres a friends car www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/1970-chevelle/1163744949

An yes kijiji is time consuming...

Personally ... I have absolutely NO PROBLEMS selling anything on Kijiji .  

HOWEVER ... I did have one horses's ass make an absolute ridiculous offer on an ad I have posted on here !!!!

Seriously guys, instead of offering 20% of the asking price just forget it ... you're not even on the same planet

let alone in  the ballpark !! There's just no negotiating when you're that far apart.  And I'm not just talking

about my ad, I'm talking about ANY ad anywhere.

And sure, maybe someone's asking "what you think" is too much for something, but that's subjective, maybe

you're just a tightass. If it is overpriced they'll realize that soon enough on their own!

I have had issues also selling here. Two times a no show after settling on a price and a time to pickup.  

-- Edited by Smokin Joe on Wednesday 18th of May 2016 07:44:41 AM

Everyone wants it for 1/2 of the asking price. But if that's not bad enough try to give something away!!!

I tried to give away a topper. This guy came looked it all over asked if I thought he would be able to buff it. Then he said yes I want it.                                        He said "how is your schedule for next week" my reply was I don't want to make a date (or tell this stranger when I won't be home) I just want to give it away.

Re London Kijiji Ad - '66 & 67 Beaumont Hardtops - dry stored +35 years / RARE finds.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1167674409&edited=true&posted=true&adActivated=true&uuid=a65f1597-7c7a-4358-9500-0f57ad16beaf 

PS - I don't waist my time discussing prices via short email / if one is to challenged to pickup the phone & have a real conversation,

I consider inquiry, of pure curiosity only.

Case in Point below - turns out even Kids are answering Kijiji ads, just BS time waster's.

From: Eric How much for the remaining cars?

Hi Eric - are you seriously interested in buying both cars / or just curious ??

From: Eric Seriously interested just curious the price then would want more details I'd also come take a look at the cars but only looking for one

Want prices? / takes a phone call. Cheers, Larry

From: Eric My dad has a 67 Beaumont in rough shape but with 2 could make a nice car

>>

>>

>> Still no real call (from Eric), to my cell...LOL...STOP with the nonsense & lack of funds !!

============================================================================

Last week I had my asking price accepted via text only (on one car) / buyer avoided a personal phone call, at all cost.

- I soon realized, I was being reeled into an fake Escrow Money Company Fraud (possible 3rd World activity).

Buyer Beware, when purchaser refuses to talk over the phone !!

^^ That is what one has to push / the personal phone call - email or text only, amounts to, "failure in action".

=============================================================================

1987 Pontiac Trans Am Coupe - GTA w/L98-5.7L TPI, "T-top" / True survivor:

^^ This car was Kijiji advertised, over a 2 year period / before it found a collector.

- every month, I would get an insulting offer via short email / amounting to 20% of the asking price

- probably same guy had family & friends, send me a new email offer frequently

BTW - had one kid getting his drivers licence, email me an offer of $1,000 for the whole car / GNX alloy rims, are worth that much.

I had some 47 to 53 Chevy pickup fenders and had an offer to trade for a tattoo kit.
