My problem with Craigslist

[pohatu771]

There's a local store (though I've never seen it) that constantly posts on Craigslist, advertising the same cheap guitars over and over again. Once, about three months ago, they had some used Gibsons at good prices, but since then it's been the same guitars.

You'll notice at the bottom it says that

 

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

 

Wouldn't advertising for your store on a free bulletin board be a commercial interest?

I think that CL is set to default that last line. But yeah, store spam on CL is annoying.

Check out this person's ad on CL.

They don't know how to read the Epiphone logo on the headstock. They think the "n" is a "y" and the "o" is an "a" I guess.

Epiphaye?

Epiphaye!

isn't that what Cowboys say?

Retail operations should not be placing free ads on CL according to their rules.

 

Flag 'em. That's all you can do.

If they get flagged enough, they'll stop.
