I'm so done with Craigslist.

As some of you may remember, my Craigslist ad kept getting flagged. I gave up and just posted it on Stanceworks. So today (A week or so later), I found a car that I would like to buy. I lower my price $500 and post the car again. Sure enough, flagged within a minute. I'm so sick of this. Yes, my price is high, but I serously doubt that it's a person doing this. I think it's some kind of robot.

Maybe it's some sick deal like with those people in Russia who have to pay a ransom for their headlights. Maybe I'll get an email demanding I pay some money to have my ad up. I'm so sick of it.

I just posted my car there today, no problems. It's odd that yours keeps getting flagged

Have you tried to email someone at Craigslist HQ about your problem? Some fuckbag must be trying to stop all competition.

wow, I'd have to agree with Nibby's reasoning on your original post. That doesn't make sense. What about a Z enthusiasts site and post it for sale rather than for trade? Hopefully you'll find someone who will appreciate it

Someone you know could be trying to mess with you by flagging your ad. Im guessing someone childish

I've done it on Stanceworks and a couple Facebook groups. I'm not too motivated, but someone is selling a mint TT with 42k miles for $10k. I figure I could get him down to $9k, so if I can sell mine quick, I'll get it.

Maybe your title sets off some spam filter. Try shortening it to just the essentials.

Craigslist pretty much is a free for all. I haven't even been able to find a phone number

Doubt it. It's been flagged within a minute every time.

My title is as follows: 1992 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 Z32 For Trade with 52,000 miles!

try using some different pictures? Maybe someone has them locked on some type of recognition algorithm?

does CL notify you when ad gets flagged? A van I have for sale keeps getting down every few days.

have you tried creating a new account entirely, with a new, never used email. Just to rule out something being messed up with your account and the ruling powers? Listing in another town close by?

Just do "1992 Nissan 300ZX"

That's a really good idea. I'll try that in a minute.

I saw that post! It looks like a good deal, plus you'll add turbos and a manual
