Posted by TYCHOOCHOO  -  02/28/2008 11:04 AM Goes back to another post I had put on the site about people not taking the ad's off the site when they sell the car. Car ad's should be removed when they hit 120 days. The owners of the cars can put them back on again if the cars are still for sale. This would clean up the site and maybe move more cars.

Believe me if you remove a bunch of old ads, then I get phone calls for days asking why their ad is gone. Hard to please everyone. :-) StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois Charter Member since August 2003   Posted by roofcam34  -  02/28/2008 11:24 AM Would be a nice feature, if they could go in and tag/mark it sold. Maybe it's already there and not being done. I ran into a lot of already sold cars when I was hunting for a rod. It is a bit frustrating. Leo (roofcam34) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Sioux City, Iowa   Posted by TYCHOOCHOO  -  02/28/2008 11:28 AM I understand your point Tami, but I feel if you sell ads for 4 months it would clean up the web site and save members time when looking for cars. I know when I was looking, cars were no longer for sale or sold and still on the site and many times I sent E-mails to owners and never got replys. I have to assume those cars were sold. The key word ASSUME. Tommy choo choo [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MT. SINAI, New York Charter Member since June 2007   Posted by eriq  -  02/28/2008 11:42 AM well people are supposed to remove their ads when they sell the car, if you think about it, unless we call all 1000 owners every day we have no way of knowing if a car has sold and they just haven't removed it. now we do have in place a system that automatically expires an ad after the ad runs out so this means they've sold the car within the time period of the ad run. oh, and if they aren't going to delete it they probably also aren't going to mark it sold. StreetRodding.com Webmaster [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Palm Harbor, Florida   Posted by tlp1968  -  02/28/2008 12:53 PM The trick is to have people keep their e-mails current, their ads removed and to read their e-mails. All things we cannot really control. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois Charter Member since August 2003   Posted by BigAlBre  -  02/28/2008 04:51 PM As Eriq said a system is in place but if the owner doesn't care then we can't do anything until the ad expires.... the whole ad section is going to get some revisions soon...
