Just curious, does anyone even read the classified section anymore?

A couple weeks ago I posted a brand new APR Stage II Pulley Kit for a low price and so far have had only two people interested but they simply don't have the funds available right now.

I am not in a rush to sell, but I figured if I list it at a low price it would move rather quickly - especially since the kit is brand new.

What's the deal? Anyone else having a hard time selling parts here? [confused]

Maybe I should post it up on eBay if it doesn't sell soon... [o_o]

Suggestion: link to your ad in your signature. That's what I have done and it gets more views than hoping people look in the classifieds.

Not much traffic with people posting stuff for sale so people just don't really search in there first. I waited about three months for a pair of coil overs to pop up then just opted with buying new ones, just as an example.

No one is responding because the pulley kit is no good without software.

I check the classifieds daily as I am waiting for the right price on a used exhaust.

I to have a apr pulley for sale but haven't posted it since I know no one will buy it now. I will sell mine cheap if someone wants to take the gamble. :-)

I thought it WS a good place to find used stuff maybe I am wrong what else do you guys besides the obvious big sites?

Remember, this kit is brand new unused. The kit includes an unused ECU Authorization Ticket for the Stage II software upgrade. I have checked with APR and they said it will be no problem for the buyer to use the ECU Authorization Ticket. What you are buying is 100% the same what you would get if you purchased directly from APR (just a lower price here!)

I check both the A4 and S4 classifieds daily.
I have bought and sold a lot in the AZ classifieds. I posted my group buy mesh grille up for sale about a week ago and it was sold in a day (and I had ~5 additional people in line to buy it).

I think the A4/S4 classifieds should be combined to increase the traffic and exposure. Whenever I post an ad, I usually have to post 2 - one in the A4 section and one in the S4 section...

Yes, that's how I found a set of OEM carpeted floormats just this past week.

I check it multiple times a day via the RSS feeds for each of the sections I follow.
