predator Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I just thought i'd share that.. I put my damn car in there.. so i think, ok, i'm not going to write 50 pages on my car and pay $2000 for the ad, so i'll just put the basics and put the link to the website i created with everything a person would need to know.. i think, ok, that will work nicely.. person goes to the site before having to hassle me over the phone with pointless questions. So lo and behold, in their wiseness they've decided to take the URL out *without damn telling me* ****ing get with the times, farkin losers.. who the **** wants to look at some shitty 2cm photo in some ****ing shitty paper that you can't really see shit about the car??! when a one word URL can put as many damn photos and info as you like in a proper form. Trying to hold on to old fashioned printed values, and trying to screw a person out of a more effective method of trying to sell their car is just stupid if you ask me. And not only that its not at all specified in their stupid "terms and conditions". Bastards! thank **** i didn't do a "prepaid" ad /RANT OVER Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27664-melbourne-trading-post-are-s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 hey that sucks, it was a good idea to put a url address and even if u sell your car you shouldnt pay them a cent because they didnt post your ad as you wanted it ... Good luck with selling it by the way .. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27664-melbourne-trading-post-are-s/#findComment-578833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 They are trying to make you keep the car bitch! Maybe .. those QLD roads are calling "skyline...skyline... skyline" I know. I think i also hear it whispering "2530.. 2530..2530" for some reason? thanx mick.. i know, well i doubt i'll get much interest because i left all the good stuff in the website and its one you have to see to appreciate why its a bit more than other 33 out there, but oh well.. See what happens. Whats the other places you sell your car these days?

Snowman Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 My advice is unique cars mag. I tried all sorts of forums and cheap web sites for 6 months for basically no respose. Put it in unique cars - 1st week had 15 calls - sold it to best offer 6 days after mag was released (sold interstate too). Was great. Still getting calls now and the next issue is due out next week. I also bought my Skyline from there too. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27664-melbourne-trading-post-are-s/#findComment-578881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 yeah you would have - needs to be done 15 days before the mag release date. Website - kinda. All ads in unique cars go on carpoint.com.au web site for a month - the web site advert gets an extended description as well. I used the website to place my add however - but remember to go back an change the option from standard to 1/8 color page which you cant do when you first set up the add. Costs more (about $100 total) but is worth it. I bought a few issues and looked at the ads and descriptions that caught my eye and used those as a basis for my ad. But yeah - your next opportunity will be for the mag realesed at the end of Nov. Hope that helps and good luck!

inark Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 dude $55 for 1 month on carpoint on ninemsn as well as puting the car in 2 issues (with colour pic and URL) of unique cars or autosupermarket.

predator Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Here it is: http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/uniquecars/homepage.asp Yup, it had to be in about 2 weeks ago, so i've missed this issue. Doubt i'll be around for 2 months anyhow. I finish work on the 7th I'm not even going to be at the same address in a week. Looking around though at prices, i think its a bit of myth that cars are cheaper in QLD (not skylines anyway), so doesn't really matter either way. :burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/27664-melbourne-trading-post-are-s/#findComment-578950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamezilla Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 There's a hovercraft for sale in this week's 'Things That Go' - I'm afraid that may take some attention away from the Skyline. Just thinking about this - would be pretty rad cruising to work. Go along the river, then drive up the boat-ramp at Princess Bridge. Hmmmm Mind you, attention just diverted to a Skyline - ICEGTR for sale on same page...

WazR32GTSt Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 when i sold my supra i used carsales.com.au its $10 for as long as you like. plus you can upload pictures and it tells you how many people looked at the ad etc. DO NOT advertise in the Age or Herald Sun definately not worth it. but as far as trading post goes i have always had positive experiences with them, i even bought my R32 through there!
