No comment on your lack of success, however -
...... best way to sell *ANYTHING*:
Place ad in Craigslist. *NO* e-mail. Leave the VM number (see next).
Get an automated voice mail phone number. (about $8 per month).
Give complete description of what you have for sale, and price.
(The one I use will allow 5 minute outgoing message - I usually only
need about one minute).
Advise callers to leave THEIR phone number if interested -AND- you
will return calls in order received.
This eliminates bogus calls & calls during all hours of day & night.
Use a Tracfone (or other cheap cell phone) to return calls. Only give your *real* phone number to obviously serious callers.
You will know if the price is "right" almost immediately!
Worked for me....
Sold a TT and a Boat in less than 24 hours.
The TT: Placed ad about at midnight. I looked at my calls received list (total of 95!!) at 5PM, the same day. First call had been at 2AM. When returned = the buyer.
TT was a done deal the same evening! Even had calls offering more than asking price (I honored my word as to price I advertised).
Fishing boat: had (only!) 7 calls, same day. - Again, first caller bought it.
BTW - when sold - change outgoing message....To "sold".
