Re: What do you think of the new Thrifties and Want ads?

There are probably 5-10 local fishing sites that I can advertise items on that are free of charge. I don't even have to ship the item which is a big plus since the buyers are generally local.<br />I expect this section of i-boats to die off within 6 months.
But, the question is do they, or will they get the traffic this site gets?<br /><br />$6 is just a drop in the bucket, a small token to pay after all iboats unpaid technical assistance to thousands. I will be happy to oblige without complaint.

Great idea. Many of the people here are restoring or at least improving their boats and some of that stuff can be unusual or one of a kind.<br /><br />6 bucks - as soon as I can get pictures of what I want I will be posting. :)

As always we get a few compliments and a few negatives. I wish I were more thick-skinned. We ask that you only use the service if you want to. Please don't use it if you don't. ;) You ever taken some time off of work to go to the flower shop and got your wife two dozen roses and when you finally give them to her (and after the trouble you went through) she throws them on the floor and said, 'I like daisies!'<br /><br />As soon as you all see iboats start giving everything away for free is when you are guaranteed that iboats will not be around for much longer. :rolleyes: <br /><br />BTW, ebay is not the only .com that has been profitable for the last few years. ;) Thanks everyone for your continued patronage here!

sorry A5, didn't mean to lump Iboats into the<br />dot.bomb group... also, don't let the naysayers<br />bother you. it's a great idea and will be a big<br />success IMHO.

JB,<br /><br />I found it but to do it I had to turn off my firewall. Not really interested in going that route. If you need more info please email me.

Parrot_Head, I had to do the same thing. I'm using Agnitum Outpost and it was blocking based on word in the address. I stopped it from blocking the word "/promo/" and can now get to ads with firewall on.

In the yellow banner above, click on either "Enter. . ." message to get to the section you want.
There is no “ENTER” anywhere in the yellow banner. Here is the total sum of everything in the new, yellow banner:<br /><br />Important Notice: Many forum members have asked for the following services...so we are proud to announce that iboats has created Boating Thrifties and Boating Want Ads areas for our Forum members!!! To kick these new areas off, placing ads will be FREE to all Forum members until Feb 15. Thereafter it will cost $5.95 per ad. Place your ads now and save!<br /><br />Fwiw, there is also a red banner selling lower units and powerheads. No “ENTER” in that one, either.

JB – you have a wonderful sense of humor. :) Btw, I don’t see a link in your posting.<br /><br />Snapper – ISP blocks nothing. There is hard and soft firewalls.
