    First call from advertising on an internet directory

    Got my first call from this form of advertising today. Lady was calling from Hanover, MA (2 hr and 40 min away). They apparently had flood damage from all the recent storms and where looking for prices (they pay. not get paid) to get rid of 50 to 70 TVs, about 10 of which were CRT. Due to the distance, I obviously couldn't give her a price and be competitive with anyone from that area. Kind of wish there was still a buyer on here for flat screen TVs. Carolina E-cycle had increadible prices (75 cents per inch broken and 1.75 per inch working)when he first started a buyers thread. That is long gone.

    Which one did you use? I see from Wikipedia that more seem to go out of business than stay in business...

    List of web directories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    YP advertising solutions - used the free part. Have heard negative things about the web page development and amount of traffic that they claim you will get.
