As a recent buyer of a flying RV I think I am qualified to give an opinion about what prospective buyers would like to see in a listing. I have looked at MANY classified ads to date and continue to look so I can maintain my feel for the market. The buyer wants to see the type of engine, prop, hours, certification date, equipment list, price and most importantly PICTURES!! I often see links to websites posted but it would be much easier on the buyer to INSERT the image in the post. Selling AND buying an aircraft is WORK. If you can't take the time to make a decent listing then how will the rest of the sale go?? Sort of makes me question the quality of work also.
For those that don't know how to insert images it is quite easy. Go to the site where the picture is hosted, right click the picture and then copy the information under PROPERTIES. Then PASTE that same information into the box that appears when you click the INSERT IMAGE icon on the tool bar that appears as you make a new post. Repeat this process for every pictures you want to post.
I think a complete listing will reduce the number of so-called "tire kickers" and increase your chance of a successful sale.
End of rant, over.
