    Default Why do I not get ANY inquiries on my classifieds?

    Is there any reason why I don't get a single inquiry on my ads ?

    As people have said, the forum isn't a particularly high traffic forum, regulars often have a system or four stashed away and look for very particular types of equipment when they are looking to buy.

    You would be far better off with the ebays of this world, although they present their own problems, or a lot higher traffic, more broad church hi-Fi specific site like the wam, hifi for sale etc.

    Horses for courses as they say.

    Yes, prices on a forum usually have to be very keen on a forum unless its very much flavour of the month. 600 is a lot in these days of austerity. Also you are relatively new here. Not a lot of high end stuff moves here at moment; certainly not quickly unless its a stone cold bargain Andy. Improve the pics a bit and more of them might help too.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Describing your speakers as "ugly" doesn't help either. Be positive - don't do 'down' anything want to sell, nor for that matter should you 'hype' it up.

    Only a very few items sell within an hour or two. It all depends on what other Members are looking for. Sometimes it can be days or even weeks before any interest is shown (I speak from experience).

    Be patient - I'm sure you will sell your speakers in due course.

    Yes you're probably right , I tend to say things as they are and in the case of these Dalek speakers I thought they'd sell themselves.

    And put a more specific location in your profile especially if it is pick up only.

    Also start your sales thread title with 'For Sale:'

    Bump them every couple of days.

    Check completed listings on eBay to see your not asking too much (you probably already do that but I can't think of anything else).
