WinningHandArtC1207 copySo did anyone fool you yesterday? Even though the origins are unknown, April 1st is commonly known as April Fools Day where people play pranks on one another.

Use Classified Ads to Find Exactly What You Want

Classified ads via the Thrifty Nickel can help you find whatever you may be looking for, no matter how ridiculous.

Missing one specific bowl in your amazing Pyrex collection? Who’s to say Ellen two towns over doesn’t have one she’s dying to get rid of? After all, her evil monster-in-law gave it to her before the divorce. She doesn’t need it. Would you rather place an ad describing the specifics of your niche object, or scour garage sales county wide for something that may not be there?

Placing a Wanted ad in the Thrifty Nickel at OurThriftyNickel.com is like having an extra thousand people accompanying you to garage sales and thrift stores, picking through piles of wreckage for your one treasured item. Except, by placing your ad, you automatically have access to items beyond typical garage and thrift sales. You’ve allowed your message to go directly into homes full of items that may store the very thing you seek.

Currently we’re helping people find exactly what they’re looking for, like this fellow:

BUYING VINTAGE Musical Instruments. Amplifiers, Guitars, Bass’s, Drums Any Band Instruments. 432-556-5760 or bring by 5904 W. Hwy. 80, Midland, TX. KEN’S RV SALES.

Just because the section is labeled Wanted: Have Cash Will Buy, doesn’t necessarily limit you to a monetary trade. You could barter with those other collectors who covet the items you’d like. After all, bartering and trading are our oldest forms of sale.

In Sara Bader’s Strange Red Cow, Bader collects classified ads from across the lands of time to illustrate the importance of archiving in historical understanding. She dedicates an entire chapter to Swaps, which essentially are olden day Wanted Ads.

“A VELOCIPEDE (a bicycle) WANTED IN EXCHANGE FOR dentistry; for one in perfect order first class work will be guaranteed. Address Dentist, Herald office. — April 22, 1869 New York Herald

I’d say one well-tuned bicycle is absolutely worth a good amount of dentistry. It also illustrates the value of skills in trade. Perhaps for that comic book you just have to have for your collection, you could trade its owner some accounting, if that’s where your talents lie.

“SINGER OR DOMESTIC I want to exchange a Sewing Machine for a cheap boat, one suitable for a trip up Salt River in November. Also one for a second hand grocery wagon, and wanted to buy a light pair of wheels with pole for truck wagon. AH SIN, North Hope, Me. — October 18, 1892, Rockland Courier-Gazette (Maine)”

Sincerely, place a Wanted ad in the Thrifty Nickel Classified Ads. It could not be easier to advertise online than with the Thrifty Nickel. Just head to OurThrifyNickel.com and click the tab on the top of the page that reads Place An Ad! $5.75 for the first ten words, .40 cents per each additional word. One picture free with each ad!  And because we love you and appreciate your business, we offer you a second week free when you place your ad online at OurThriftyNickel.com!

Happy hunting!

Get Classified this Holiday Season!

Classified

Utilize the centuries old, tried and true Classified system this winter season to aid in every width and breadth of holiday quest that may befall you!

Sincerely, we can all keep looking at our calendars pretending the stretch of days between the seventh of November and the twenty-fifth of December goes on for miles. But we all know, the illusion of these time-miles quickly fades and in a few swift baby-week-steps the holidays are upon us.

Let American Classified help you!

Pick up one of our free Thrify Nickel papers, or visit our website, we even have a PDF version of our paper there for your browsing pleasure!

Perhaps you’re lucky enough to have a family who has very specific, easily attainable holiday wish list. If you are, our paper can help provide you with a rich market of independent and established sellers, otherwise inaccessible without the classified forum.

Most out there have the added disadvantage of needing to suss out a bevy of potential ideas for each person on their “To Give” list. The energy and creativity needed to generate enough perfect gift-piphanes would deplete even the most profound energy reserve!

Let us help you generate gift ideas! Browse through our classified pages! Think about it! With our rich tapestry of sellers, it’s like a one-stop-multi-family-cross-county yard sale (that also tells you where all of the yard sales hosted across county are located) all in the grasp of your two hands! Perusing through the jewelry section of our paper, perhaps you spy an antique opal ring for sale. Something your wife always wanted, but you completely forgot about until this ad kindly jogged your memory and solved your gift giving conundrum! Or maybe your son longingly and constantly yaps about starting a band, a wish you’ve never before taken seriously. But, lo and behold, as you read the Thrifty Nickel you happen upon affordable guitar lessons within walking distance from school. Voila, Christmas wish granted!

Even if you know exactly where all of your gifts are coming from and what they are, let us help you generate extra holiday income!

Comb through your closet for any brand name clothes you haven’t worn in six months. Decide to say adios to your DVD collection for some extra holiday dinero. List your items on our website, or in our paper. It creates wide exposure for your product, especially during the holidays when the scent of holiday giving is in the air! It can help free up some extra revenue to cushion that ever so quickly and persistently depleting holiday wallet.

Or maybe you specialize in some type of craft and you’ve been wanting to try your hand at marketing your wares. There’s no better time to try and sell your beautifully crafted, hand knitted scarves, or hand pressed paper.

Let American Classified come to your rescue this holiday season!
