    Smile Call to pick up refridgerator

    Yesterday I recieved a call from a guy who seen my ad on my facebook page to pick up a fridge. I went to pick it up and ended up getting 21 computer towers along with it and coming back tommorrow to pick up a freezer and a 200 gallon fuel oil tank on a stand and whatever he drums up for me overnite. Just a good day for me that I wanted to share with you guys here and let you know that it is wise that when you go to pick up a single item, make sure your truck is empty because once you tell them what all you will haul off your liable to end up with a truck load or even more....

    21 computer towers? wow. Wish I could get a haul like that. I am so far finding them one at a time. Or were they stripped already?

    Today I got another call from a person who saw my ad on facebook,it was to pick up a dorm size refridgerator from a dentist office and when I went to pick it up, I told them what all I would haul off and ended up taking a microwave and a flat screen moniter along with me, needless to say, I thanked them and left a card with them for future pick ups...Facebook pages are paying off for me so yall need to give it a whirl...

    I do have facebook. I was interested in the price for the advertising. I have never done that there yet.

    Are you saying that you just make status updates to your friends that you want this stuff?

    Correct, just make status updates and look for local businesses with a facebook page and send out lots of friend request....is working out great for me

    I have a page for my scrapping. I did see that you can have it listed as a business ad on the side of the listings. You know the ones where they list the games people are playing and other businesses advertising. I looked into that and it was a tad confusing, but I think it is pure click and you can up your listing based on how much you are willing to pay per day/week/month. But like I said, It was a bit confusing and I may of interpreted it wrong. But if that is the way they do it, does make sense.
