Today we can even tryplacing for-sale ads on the internet.After placing our ads and seeing them published weexpect the phone to ring, or emails to come pouring in,so put off going shopping confident that we'll stillget to the game in the afternoon after making our sale.When the phone does eventually ring it's our friendasking for confirmation of our presence at the stadiumin an hour. The phone then starts going crazy andemails dribble in, so we have to stay in, only forthose people to be "time wasters" or not to show atall.The next call is from our friend giving us a serve formissing the best game of the season!.There must be a better way!2) THE BUYER.It's time to look for our Daughter's first car, soafter checking the bank account we head off to thelocal, then not so local used-car lots to get an ideaof what's available.Well now we know what to look for, so it's time tostart looking through the Local, State, and Tradenewspapers to find the car at a bargain basement price.A week and two missed games later this small task we'veset ourselves is becoming a chore but we've got to dothe right thing for our all-of-a-sudden grown upDaughter ( seems like she was in diapers only a year orso ago!) haven't we?We eventually succeed of course, and our Daughter isthrilled, but there must be a better way as our Sonwill be wanting his first car next year!3) THE BETTER WAYWhen placing our for-sale ads in the publicationsabove, or looking through them trying to find what wewant, we often see the heading "wanted". This shouldhave lots of ads for things people want, but usuallythe ads are for "all your jewelry", "all your books'etc.WHY?? The answer must be tradition, but it doesn't makesense as items listed under "wanted" should be idealfor Buyers and Sellers.Buyers should place ads there for what they want.Sellers should look there to find someone who wants what they're selling.This Common-Sense way of advertising is calledREVERSE CLASSIFIEDS, and because it's so simple, willbecome normal in the near future.
