New Self-Service Soaring Ad Site

TraderGuy wrote:
www.soaringtrader.com is a new (and free!) site for posting classified
ads for sailplanes and soaring-related items.

Features include:
- Ability to submit, modify and delete your own ad
- Dial-up connection-friendly
- A "search" function
- An easy-to-use interface
- Obscures the poster's e-mail address (if they desire that) to avoid
spam
- Ads are deleted after a set period unless renewed by the poster.

I don't get it.

How does having Yet Another Place to Look help the sailplane market?

Right now, a lot of folks hit Tim's Wings & Wheels Want Ads, the SSA
Classifieds, and this group. And there are a few on-line forums that
I've seen too. Now you're adding another one to the mix.

Ugh.

Will this help the sellers or buyers?

Well, the SSA classifieds don't give you pictures, and it's free only
for a limited time and limited text. Wings and Wheels is good but you
have to go through Tim and there can be delays if he's out of town or
whatnot. I think the idea of a self-service site is a good one. If
you don't like it, you can ignore it.

the only time I have been out of town (or what not :-) in several years has
been to the SSA conventions.....
the W&W want-ads are updated every day..sometimes several times a
day.....(today there were already at least 3 new entries).even on most
weekends they still get updates....
this is a free service.....never have had a charge for buyers or
sellers....these pages get several hundreds of hits daily....

Thanks for the service you provide, Tim.

I am buying a glider that was advertised on Wings & Wheels and I'll use the
service again when/if I ever sell it.
