Retailers spamming the classifieds

There are others who spam worse than autostyle, they readvertise their good almost daily... there is one in particular who has been trying to sell and XT crank for months.. and he seems to think that readvertising it continually will get it sold, but does not realise that his price is too high and seems reluctant to drop it.

 

That is worse than what autostyle do... yes they might place a lot of ads one after another... so what.

From Autostyle:

We offer a service, at times pay for adverts bump ups etc and are also going to sponsor banners month end onward. Guess what? we will also gladly beat any price, our Garmin deals are good...

many cyclists benefit from our prices,range, in stock items to view and feel before purchasing and we are open 7 days.

we offer free shipping on most cycling gear over R3500. www.autostyle.co.za

email joe@autostyle.co.za

lets not drag this forum post, mail us direct with complaints or suggestions

we have a 24 hour email which tries to respond after hours soonest feedback@autostyle.co.za

Mohamed (0829595003) or Essop the owners can also be contacted who pride themselves in assisting cyclists.

Rather than posting each item individually it would be much less annoying if you placed 1 ad for the product range. E.g. Thule bike racks from R****. Then have a description and price for each rack once the ad has been opened.

There is a field to choose what you are: dealer/owner.  Autostyle should use that, but they seem to choose owner for all their adds.

Hi, my name is Mohamed from Autostyle, myself and Essop are the owners...btw..i place the adverts myself.

clients at times prefer dealing with owners of a company when buying high ticket items.

Reason we place items individually is we receive more feedback from those adverts and we are able to update specs etc.

i am always able to assist, drop me an email mo@autostyle.co.za and and meet you personally at our JHB store to assist.

We have had alot of positive feedback from clients seeing our adverts on this website, impressed with prices,especially Garmin and our bike carrier range, happy with our service and price beaters for other items available.

Please fix the title. 

Spamming, not spaming.

 

 

 

Autostyle stop spaming the classifieds

Ag goodness.

 

Next thing people moan about would be where have all the ads gone.

 

Autostyle offer AWESOME prices. They will always better the listed price.

 

Was going to buy a Thule bike rack from well known thule dealers. No discount offered. Bring us a cheaper quote and we will match it. No ways buddy. Come with your best price from the start.

 

Auto style has come to the cycling community in a great and discounted way.

 

Will support them again

Agreed

The moaners on here are more of an annoyance than the ads

Well if we are talking about the same person ,if he would respond to pm's and comments that crank would have been sold already. I was actually willing to pay his price but he just never replied to my pm's etc. Maybe he is going on the 1000 post thing before dealing with someone :wacko: . Anyways, sorry for the hi-jack!

I don't know if anyone has noticed or I am just being pedantic on this one....

 

Looking for a bike rack for a friend and in the classifieds section there are at least 10 adverts from Autostyle? Then I view some other sections and I frequently see their adverts?? To me the classifieds section is predominantly for second hand goods and now and then a sweet deal from a supplier, but not every product in your catalogue?!?! 

 

Is it just me or do some of you thing this is also not right? 

 

I mean CWC post now and then with some very good specials (which I am not against at all) but these guys put their whole catalogue in the classifieds section?!

Fully agree, they especially like "reloading" the same ads over and over again.

They should have to but advertising from Matt and co like every other company.

Although they are not alone in this regard, there are a number of companies that use the classifieds in this way.
