No Chargers listed for sale on this site for months

[triple_green]

Interesting how few Chargers there are for sale..none on this site for months, even at Moparts no Chargers for sale for months. Kind of like houses in my neighborhood, few for sale and the ones that are go for crazy amount over the asking price...I guess I should be glad I have the Charger I do...

I watch our local classifieds also for Chargers
Not much of anything
A couple that have been listed for the last 2 years for big bucks and their prices have not changed but soon the average market price will catch up to the sellers price and think they will sell

We also have about 15 Charger wanted ads in the same classifieds

Tons of ads on Facebook with unreasonable asking prices

The lack of cars for sale coincides with the lack of site traffic and any interesting new posts. On any given day, it only takes a minute to scan through topics.  This place used to be a happening website, what happened to it?

20 years ago when I joined you could have 3 or 4 pages of unread topics almost daily. I have my opinions of what happened but I'll keep my mouth shut.

Just right what I was to say! In the old good days I could spent couple of hours checking and replying threads... And I didn't even enter on all sections!

I agree in that there use to be a lot more posts in the past. Perhaps it's time for a revamping of the site. Add some new content, delete some of the less visited categories, etc. One pet peeve is the order of the responses in a posting. Maybe reverse them so the latest post is the first one seen, then scrolling down to the original post. Just a thought. Maybe add some new picture categories too, like "Members' Rides", "Derelict Chargers", etc. What do you think, moderators?

When Photo Bucket started charging money, LOTS of photos left the building !!!! that hurt this site A LOT, also the search function hurts , I would love to help rejuvenate this site !!!!!

[c00nhunterjoe]

I havnt been on in a while. Just insanely busy. But prior to my absence, photobucket was a main reason for less posts. It is not easy to post a photo anymore from a cell phone and i cant tell you the last time i used my laptop. Literally years. Everytime i take a photo i have to edit it a ridiculous amount to resize it to meet the site criteria, and then instead of a normal "size" on the reply, it is massive and you have to scroll across the screen to see it. Not user friendly at all.

I guess if you have a charger for sale facebook reaches a lot more people...

I sort of feel like the high prices, speculators, 'investors', VIN plate switchers, and guys selling Chevy-esque restos have taken their toll on the hobby.  That crowd probably isn't selling their Chargers here to us hobby/enthusiast types.

They aren't making 2nd gens any more and those that are left are dwindling.  The general high prices of cars have me turned off to the whole thing in a way.  Even a few years ago I got an MG Midget as a cheap project car - this is taking hundreds of dollars to do.  Then I got a Triumph TR6 - this is taking thousands to do.  I can't afford the Charger I want which would be tens of thousands of dollars, and seemingly pushing higher and higher all the time.  You guys with 1-5 Chargers are lucky you got in the game when you did.

I have stated the same thing and a few dickheads on the forum try to defend the forum and insult me at the same time for it.
Fuck those jerkoffs....

I have your back Gregory, out their names.

And to add, I blame none of this on the owner (Troy) or admins. There is still a wealth of knowledge archived here for just about anything charger related.

[LaOtto70Charger]

Site is still good for finding information to get help. Search feature was working better the last time I used it.  Of course now compared to when this site started there is youtube and Facebook for finding information. 

Interesting points on price of the cars. How many people that can afford to buy these cars anymore actually work on them and search for fixes and parts or just pay someone.

The average age of the car owners is probably pretty high.  

The supply of workable projects is the worst it has ever been.  Resto costs are higher than ever.  Most of the restorable cars are already done.  

There are many more places to sell cars than there used to be.  

Most of America has been losing economic ground since the 1970s.  The hobby requires money + free time + workspace/garage/car interest.  Lots of people have 1-2 of those but it's rare to have all three anymore.  


All these factors help push down the amount of activity in the hobby.  

[JimShine]

I can't speak for the other owners, but if I wanted to sell my car, I could make a couple calls and have it sold, cash in hand and out of my garage within 48 hours without listing it anywhere. I wouldn't have to deal with flakes or people who think they are going to widdle the price down when they come to wrap up the deal. The ones that get listed tend to be the ones where the sellers are looking to get above market value.

You can fix your one pet peeve using the settings in your profile.

The image name deal and size limits has been allways like that, with more posts before and now with less posts. And maybe 85% of the posts are just text. So that's not a reason.

In fact initially we could just post one image per post, now we can post 4.

I might be interested in your contacts. My Wife says I have to sell a few. I was thinking of using "gateway classics". No 100 percent sure of the name right now.

i must say Moparts threads/posts has been going slow down latelly too

[NHCharger]

I think a majority of theses sites have taken a hit because of FB. Plenty of car groups on FB and uploading pics only take me a minute, don't need to resize. but whenever I need some tech advice I always rely on DC or Moparts.

[charger_fan_4ever]

Up here on Chinada the major for sale app kijiji is full of want ads for 68-70 chargers.the couple tbat do pop up for sale are 80k+ for a restored car or 30-40k for a car needing tons of work.
