These dealer added listings for $0 are really getting me ticked off. They are wasting my time and really turning me off on this website. I am getting to the point (as well as many others who utilize this site) that we don't want to come here anymore to look for trailers.
There is no way to eliminate the $0 from the search options. Please MR TRAILER eliminate this! Or give us a search option to eliminate it. I am getting very frustrated.

It gets frustrating when the first 4 or 5 pages of your search are filled with those ads!!!! That bites! It is almost false advertising. You are falsely "lured" by the $0 just as bad as scammers! Why not post the real price and let us decide if we want to wheel and deal?

I never realized there were listings like that until you brought it up. It would be funny to tie up the dealers phone lines and sales people with calls on them. You should organize something and have a bunch of people waste these sh*t heads time who list like that. I'd be willing.

There are rules for that for that, sort of. Zero ads are not supposed to be posted. It was the consensus some time ago that zero ads were adding another roadblock or unnecessary step in the buying selection, like a car lot with no prices on the windshields. A lot of folks want to see some prices and kick the tires and then some without making contact with the salesperson until they are good and ready. For now, until we come up with a solution, select a price range to narrow the search and avoid the free trailers ($0). In the near future you will see more choices like height, short wall length, glideout, etc.

I think they do that to be listed first in the search. I know I skip right past those when looking for a truck. Dishonest dealers will try anything to sell.

I wonder if some of the dealers are listing them at $0 because they are not done yet so therefore they do not even know what they can sell them for and still make money.
I don't pay much attention to $0 listings, either. There are some pretty pushy sales folk out there and I HATE to do business under pressure.

Hope all the dealers who use the $0 listings are reading this thread! All they are accomplishing is irritating and losing potential customers! Me included.
