    My experiance using the word junk in ad titles.

    I list a lot of ads online buying e-waste. I had been listing them titled buying old computers. I was getting more calls with people trying to sell me their working computers than people trying to get rid of outdated ones. So I decided to change the title to buying old junk computers. This wasn't such a good Idea. Went 3 days without receiving a single call or email. So I decided to change the title back to what I was originally using and what do you know. Withing 20 min I had someone from a local school that acquired a load of escrap and his wife said it needed to go. Not even 5 min later had an guy call that had a load desktops keyboards and monitors he needed to get rid of.

    Advice from this lesson. Sometimes it pays to take the good with the bad. And don't use the work junk in your ads.
