Only joking.
I only ever use this section to moan so I thought I would pop a compliment to all you invisible classifieds manufacturers.
Firstly it is so much faster and easier than autotrader with so much better functionality and browsing is much easier than that godforsaken pile of st competitor.
But importantly its cheaper and much more effective for the kind of cars many of us drive.
Autotrader cost me £50 for an advert and I got tit-all response from it.
Ebay was some money and I got lots of messages from complete and utter s
PH was free and I got one call from one actual human being and sold my car.
Anyway well done.

And where is Gumtree? Isn’t Parkers just searching motors.co.uk classifieds?

Thank you, BSR. Much appreciated. I'll send you a T shirt in the post by way of a thank you, because I know how fond you are of our range of T shirts.

Gerald - I don't know why eBay motors is missing either, as whenever we look at those Experian figures they are included. They can be skewed by the fact that motors can be accessed from within the main ebay domain, so that might explain it.

Whenever I've looked at those figures, they place eBay ever so slightly behind PH with about 13% market share. However I don't think that's a fair reflection of their position in the market as I believe it's measured just using search performance, and eBay get a great deal more direct traffic.

See that? ... the entire thread was just an elaborate ploy for BSR to post some justified pomposity.

I intended it as an insult.

It really disappoints me that you appear to have taken it in good spirit.

Absolutely typical that you don’t have the good grace to be offended.
