The product is actually my car, but I got you interested huh?
Anyway...
I have been trying to sell my car for about 2 months now. I have posted it around 4 times and had one response from a guy who never showed up. Really discouraging and frustrating.
Anyway so I have this weekend off which is the only weekend I get in a month off so I decided that this weekend I will sell it, no matter what, I was even prepared to take a huge price drop!
So I changed a few things and re-posted it not expecting much to happen. In the first hour one guy offered me $1500, half my asking price, I actually thought I may have to take it and said I would get back to him. Nothing happened for a few hours and then after 4 hours I had a guy coming to look. He offered to give me $2800 on Monday and I said yes. Since then I have had 3 more people reply, all very interested in the car.
So from 0 interest in 2 months, to 5 offers in the same day!
What I did was so simple but the results have amazed me! Same car, same price, same photos!
All I did was change the title from:
2003 Toyota Corolla Hatchback
to
Quick Little Gas Saver - Well Cared For!
And I changed the main photo to one of the others in the advert, it was better lit and showed the car a bit better.
I also think posting it on the weekend helped immensely.
Simple common sense stuff and you hear it all the time, it's nothing new, I'm not claiming I'm a genius for sharing it, the reason I made this thread was simply because I just couldn't believe the difference it made. I figured in a small town with not many cars for sale if someone was interested they would look regardless. I was wrong.
In other news while checking my advert out I saw an ad for an iPad, 2 months old, with box etc and I talked him down to $100, you really don't know what people will take, he even dropped it to my house. So all in all, despite not working all weekend, I'm a lot richer
