We look at a lot of classified ads in the course of pasting together each day’s Hemmings Daily, and over time, it becomes evident that some ads exist for the rather odd purpose of driving buyers away instead of attracting them.
Sometimes, we suppose, you NEED to sell the car, but you don’t WANT to sell the car, so an ad is dutifully placed, knowing full well that the sheer lack of information, absence of pictures, or absurd asking price will eliminate any bothersome phone calls from prospective buyers.

These tips feel like common sense, but they can't be that common since we need to explain them.
