It's VERY frustrating to call on a trailer, only to be told it's been sold, but "oh, let me tell you about the one we just got in" . There are ads that remain up on the website for weeks after they've been sold, for weeks after I called the dealership and asked them to remove the trailer from the site. In particular ad number 374850. Infuriating. The secret to maintaining a website is keeping it CURRENT.

This ad? That ad has been viewed 1861 times... Some dealers post a "bait trailer", just so you'll make that call. Have run into the same thing with used farm equipment, especially used Combines...

I just purchased a trailer from an individual off this site and I noticed it is still on here. I even "reminded" him to remove the ad so he wouldn't be bothered with the inquiries on it. I guess some people just don't care. Craigslist is horrible about items that are sold still being posted. I would hate to have to tell 20 people a day that it is sold instead of just deleting the ad. Just my .02!
