Re: [BaadAssGremlins] "For Sale"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regarding cars for sale, many times a seller is limited to "X" amount of digits; that is, say 45 letters/numbers or combination there of. Some ads automatically put the seller's state in the ads, such as epage.com, but mostly it is the seller's responsibility as to what ad content is, and a whole lot of people don't want to put their information on the internet where it can easily ber hijacked. We see a lot of this with scam ebay auctions, where some scammer hijacks someones' user id and password then quickly puts up 68 AMX, 390, 4spd for sale, buy it now $5800 stuff. It is same with print ads, every now and then I get mailer deamon emails from Europe, as scammers selling Rolex, or porn hijacked my own email address, then use it to send out ilk. So there is a little bit of privacy issue I would guess with those who have items for sale not wanting to put in their city/state so someone can inteleius or switchboard.com or google them; instead waiting for real non Nigerians to contact them about the vehicle. Pros and cons. It is just the age we live in. Pro is you are more prone to get non tire kickers contact you with limited personal information in the ad. Con is you might eliminate a whole number of people who might be more interested if vehicle or whatever is in their region. There are obviously a lot more pro and con about this, however I leave it up to seller on my AMC CLASSIFIED figuring if someone serious or half ass serious they will contact seller even if in Arctic, then decide. Others see it as a courtesy, but again, with the sheer number of identity theft case in recent memory, which is a multi billion dollar problem in this country, more and more people limit the amount of information they put in ads, and ebay auctions or whatever.
