It's a gripe ad response stating that a Barth is not as well built as a Newell and Prevost. I don't expect it to be up long so I copied it for now.







Here is the ad it's griping about. Roll Eyes

That Barth is owned by a member here on our site

Yes, it is our ad.....at least he got the stained glass window in the door correct.

I will be preparing a response, hope that he gets flagged.

Since "season" has hit here in the Sunny South, I've been getting some action. Offers have been anywhere from 10k to take it off our hands, to 50k, 25k down and we finance 25k. It has been interesting to say the least.

I hope that someone more computer savvy than I will have a chance to copy and post the response.

The serious folks have found us on Barthmobile, and I have personally educated a few lookers about the Barthmobile site.

I think this person is the same one who has been flagging me recently. Most of my ads get flagged within 20 minutes (shortest) to 8 hours, some ones get to stay up.

It is hard to keep a positive attitude with people like this bashing us.....and for reason, guess he doesn't have a phone and can't call for further details. One thing is for certain, I will start using my spell check more often (HA).

Tina,

Don't despair, Craig'sList in advertising arenas is a good example of getting what you pay for! There are so many scammers and flagging wars, it's almost as good as the Comedy Channel.

Your next ad should begin as follows "Barth - slightly less quality than a Stainless Steel Prevost, but higher quality than a Newell with its rust prone steel boxed tube framing......"

Actually Newells are fantastic rigs, but the construction of a Barth is likely more durable in most parts of the US.

Hey, I see you survived Gasparilla!!

Hi Corey

Yeah, I know, it's just super aggravating. My response should be up anytime now, I just posted, though I'm certain it will be flagged.

Hopefully one of the "gurus" will get it copied before it gets flagged. Big Grin

Just have not had a great week, and this was the last thing I needed to see.

Tina

re-Diesel Pusher-Class A-36' BUS-Barth Regency - $2 (similar to Newell)

Reply to: sale-rgnkn-1587800012@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

Thank you for the kind words about our Barth Regency (2/2/10). I know what a grilled cheese sandwich is, and I also know what a bowling ball is, do you know what a Newell is???? Do you know that if you had a picture of a Barth and a Newell, only a trained eye could tell the difference? Maybe you are only familiar with the SOB brand (some other brand), because QUALITY Barths and Newells are like finding a needle in a haystack. Get an education, maybe then you will be in more of a position to comment.

As I said in my previous listing, if you need more information, to please call. Maybe you don't own a phone. Have you ever looked at our Barth? I highly doubt it, your Dodge van that you are referring to probably wouldn't make the trip.

It's people like you that clog up CL, and I forgot to use my spell check, do you correct all listings who inadvertantly make a small error, be it typing or spelling? I'm glad to see that somebody out there is giving us an education. Anytime you wanna exchange degrees, please, just let me know.

You are probably the same person who keeps flagging my ads, and for NO REASON. That's OK, I assume that you will be flagging this one also. Either you have an RV you are trying to get far more money for, or, you are dealer, or, you could also be one of the callers I have had offering me 10k to "take it off my hands". You are the type of person who seriously needs help, and I hope that you get it.


Now, if anyone out there wants to buy a Barth Regency, pampered, with only 53,000 miles on 3208 Cat, please call me. I will be happy to give you all the details that you need. We are asking $43,000. Please call 8am-8pm 941-320-4600

I'm sorry that I have had to include all this trash in the ad. Some people just need to get a life.



* Location: similar to Newell
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Thanks for getting my ad up Bill NY, good thing too, I got flagged at 10:05pm, surprise......now his ad is still up....go figure.

I shouldn't get so upset, to attack me personally is one thing, to do it unfounded in a public forum is something else.

Anyway, I will be reposting.

Corey, guess it's part of my Italian heritage. Gotta go and call Uncle Guido hmm
