The following is a real ad that I ran on my ad page. The items have been sold, so it is no longer valid. I have changed the email and phone number, but all the names are correct.

26 days after I ran the ad, I received the following email:

Hello Gene.
     My name is Pamela Nowlin and I was advertising my father-in-law's tractors on your page. They have all sold. It was an ad for the John Deere 720, 80, D and R. Somebody from Pennsylvania bought them all. The ad also had a Cockshut 40 and an IH KB5. If you could please take the ad off. Thank you very much for your help and my father-in-law is very excited about how well it all went. Thank you,

Pamela Nowlin

SIX days later I received the following letter:

Gene;
     I do believe I have found that clutch drive disk for my 39 B!!! Melanie from Sharps Restoration out of Missouri (www.oldjd4u.com) was able to assist me with my part needs.
     Thanks a million for letting me place an ad on your site. I have been trying to locate that part for 4 months now to no avail and finally decided to give a try to placing an ad. In one week I had better than a half a dozen responses - simply amazing!
     Anyway thanks again and please feel free to remove my ad. Keep up the great site, I will be visiting you and Meli often.
