Wow! Salesmanship on Craigslist/eBay/Reverb Wow!

[jam.majors]

I don't know about you all (though I may soon), but when I see an advert that has "Wow!" in the title, I skip it immediately.
That's all.
It's annoying.
I don't like it/you.
Stop it.

Could you change the second option to 'I feel bad and wish the seller would die'?

I'd like to vote for that.

 

[bholder]

Wow! I like it! (Just kidding.)

 

[Pilgrim]

How about "Ausgezeichnet?"

 

[Waytootrue]

Wow! Right underneath this listing is another who's seller isn't wasting my time.

\/\/ O \/\/ !!!

The TB equivalent of this is the use of exclamation marks sentence after sentence on their NBD!! Plays like a dream!! At first I wasn' sure but now jazz basses are for me!

It's serving as a helpful filter mechanism for things you don't want to look at from people you don't want to buy from.

Why have them change?

You'd need some new way of figuring out that you don't want to deal with them.

Or, heaven forfend, you might actually inadvertently deal with them.

If they keep wowing, you can keep ignoring them. Wowsers.

i voted black. the only reasonable option for me.

 

[FingerDub]

The WOW! is also extra annoying when the bass in question is a parts bass.

 

[knumbskull]

I liked it in the old days when people started their adverts with: “SEX! Now that I have your attention...”

 

[Deak]

Sometimes the headline will get me, but the first few sentences usually bring out the truth and an aww crap, I shoulda guessed, another waste of a click!

Edit for RARE!!!!

 

[yodedude2]

same as 'new! only owned 3 months and only in my bedroom for practice. so, NEW!'

 

[JeezyMcNuggles]

My wallet is now open and waiting people.

 

[T_Bone_TL]

Ha, there isn't anything in it anyway. Still waiting on my amazing salesman skills to pay off.

Wow! gets treated the same as Rare. I just keep on scrolling usually.

 

[juancaminos]

Wow, Mint, Rare, Perfect, Low hours, never gigged, One of a Kind, Never dropped/crashed, blah, blah, blah.
