Thought I had to share this on this forum.
Last Thursday morning I put an ad online to sell the ugly old BMW of my girlfriend. I made some ironic remarks about the car that it was a pussy magnet and so.
One day later I checked the ad and saw that it had 12000 visitors in only 24 hours (other ads have +/- 200 visits the first 24h). A few hours later, it want much faster, shared on facebook more than a thousand times, newspapers wrote an article about it, I was contacted to do an interview, which I did.
Here's the ad on the first day:
Here are the newspaper articles:
Title translated: "Sneaky boy uses hilarious arguments to sell decayed car"

Friday afternoon, it was the 2nd most read article of the newspage

And also the interview:
Right now the ad has almost 200.000 views, I had to remove my phone number because I got phone calls all the time. Anyway, the car isn't sold yet
