Im well awair that you can search both craigslist and ebay (duh, who doesnt). In fact, its almost impossible to use either site without doing a search. And thats what Im talking about, be careful what you wish for because it took years and years for ebay to get packed with garbage to the point it became difficult to use, if not impossable. Thanks to ever increasing numbers of people using the internet as well as scammers, craigslist got fouled in just a few short years. I remember years back using ebay like most people read the ads here, just scroll down and click on anything that trips your trigger. Same thing with craigslist just a couple years ago, just scroll down and look for anything interesting. Heck, there used to be a couple days of ads in my local farm & garden section before I had to click a new page. Now? Its a solid 2 pages with 3 or more on weekends, just chuck full of spam ads, dealers posting as private party, out of area posts and my favorite, idiots posting the same crap over and over for over priced garbage simply for the fact that.... ready for it..... because the ads are free so why not?
Hey, dont get me wrong, ebay, craigslist and even ytclassifieds are great systems. The problem is, when they are new they are naturally limited and as such, have tremendous value for the buyer as well as the seller. Once they start getting huge, the balance of usefullness starts switching. The sellers start realizing they can do some "marketing" to draw more sellers and anybody that has taken econ 101 knows that it then means more profit for the sellers. Keep tipping the scale off balance like that and the sellers start competing heavily for the buyers, thats plane old human instinct and greed, no mystery there. If you encourage the unscrupulous sellers, it aint long and they make a mess fo the joint. Thats not my opinion, thats documented fact and history proves it. Anybody that cant see it or dont believe it hasnt been around to see the good old days at ebay or craigslist. Whats sad is yt classifieds is blindly following the same footsteps, thats why I said be careful what you wish for.... Its comming and yt staff is activly encouraging it. Today is the good old days, we are living them right now. It only gets worse from here on out, 22 ads are going to be the tip of the iceberg.
I cant wait to hear you hayseeds squealing like little girls when some scrapper with an out of work wife or teenaged kid starts listing every flipping part he thinks he has. Even better when he wont talk to anybody but makes the wife/kid do the business. Hey, I got a wonderful idea, maybe I should invite the infamous Marty to start posting his wares here. Then, ya know, just to keep everybody on their toes, maybe his friends can list the same things for him. Man, it just cracks me up at how some of you guys have no clue whats comming..... be careful what you wish for....
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
