How not to write an ad:
1)Start out with a vague title such as:
Wanted
Fabric
For Sale
In search of
(These vague titles make it almost impossible to locate the ad again)
2) Then give a vague description of the item(s)
Any
Some
Fabric
Machine
(do not give any details such as colors, manufacturer, picture - they might help the readers know if they have or want the item)
3) Omit asking price
4) Omit if shipping/postage is included or not in the asking price (if asking price is included in ad)
