I am convinced that CL is dead.
I have listed a lot of good stuff for cheap, just to try to clear it out and get some gas money to support my hobbies and scavenging operations.
For 6 months I have not gotten any replies on anything, not even from scammers or low-ballers.
Keep in mind that I am in a very dense city with lots of disposable income.
I have gotten to the point I am giving stuff away to friends and family, or donating to my favorite thrift store if no one needs them.
I never touched 'so-called media', never will due to data abuse. I also despise smart phones - too small, difficult and frustrating.
I looked at some other web sites, but they all 'had' to have your mobile number, which I highly protect.
Therefore CL was my only sales outlet. Easier now just to give the stuff away.
Most of the stuff I had searched for on CL is either priced way too high, or all I see are commercial listings, or posts with every keyword in the world in it so any search brings it up.
Hope CL revives itself, but I seriously doubt it.
