Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for Buyers

What types of items are for sale?

You’d be surprised at the wide variety and amount of items that you can find in our online classifieds. From Harley Davidson Motorcycles to Classic Chevy Cars, from Antiques & Collectibles to Home & Garden Equipment, you’ll find pretty much anything that you can imagine. We can help you find Pets and Animals, Farm Equipment and Furniture. If you’re looking for a gift, might we suggest Jewelry or a Video Game? We even have a Miscellaneous page full of items that aren’t easily categorized, like concert tickets and odds and ends.

How do I find what I’m looking for?

Our online classifieds are categorized alphabetically on the Category Page that you can find in the main ribbon above. Just click on the link and then scroll down the page until you find the appropriate category. You’ll then be able to look for more specific options within that category. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, you can use our keyword search tool in the upper left corner of this page. Just type in the word or phrase that describes what you’re looking for and the website will deliver any relevant results to you.

How do I make a purchase?

One of the advantages for buyers in using online classified ads is that it’s completely free to browse. You pay us nothing! We’re an intermediary between motivated sellers and interested buyers, which means that we generate revenue from our ads, so there are no fees or subscriptions for buyers. If you find an item that you’d like to purchase, there is contact information to get in touch directly with the seller. All transactions beyond that are conducted between the buyer and seller.

How do I know what I’m buying?

We pride ourselves on having clear polices regarding scams and fraud and taking immediate action when those policies have been violated. However, we cannot prevent all instances, so using sound judgment is critical. We recommend that you contact the seller and arrange a visitation in person to inspect the item that you are purchasing. If the seller insists on payment beforehand and/or without allowing a visitation, that should raise some red flags immediately. Above all, use common sense. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is! For more information on protecting buyers and sellers, please visit our Scam Alert page.

We even offer Commission Ads that allow you to advertise for free and pay after the item has sold. We take a 10% commission of list price and cap total commission fees at $80.

What should I put in my classified?

Our experience is that when buyers look at online classified ads, they prefer to see photos of the item for sale. It creates a level of trust and confidence that the product for sale matches the description and is genuinely what the buyer wishes to purchase. Including a clear color photo that’s in focus greatly increases your chances of selling the items.

Since there are maximum word counts on ads, being clear and concise with the item description allows you to give the reader the most information in the shortest space. Always include contact information so potential buyers can reach you.
