I live in the Philadelphia market, and there used to be maybe 100 cars a day posted on craigslist for sale. Now there is hardly any every day maybe 25 or so. And what’s worse is nobody leaves their phone number and the last three cars I wanted to find out about the seller didn’t return an email. :cry:

$5 a listing. But once it expires you have to pay again.

Used to be only dealers had to pay $5. Now, private party sales pay $5 as well. Plus, you can't renew your ad after 48 hours without paying another $5. Too bad for private party vehicle sales on craigslist.

I still don't have a Facebook (or other social media) account after all these years. :laugh: I just don't get the appeal of it. Must be the super-introvert in me.

I use FB marketplace almost entirely.

Kijiji still big in Canada though, I think.
