BEWARE of minitraderonline.com...

So our MINI Cooper S is up for sale. We have been posting it on Craigslist locally as this has worked well for us in the past.

Every week we receive a mail from "William Travis" of http://www.minitraderonline.com/ telling us to post on his site.

We have received at least 5 mails. We called their office, sent them e-mails and also reported them to craigslist as we are not interested in their service. CL does not allow people to send offers like this to others, which is one of the nicest parts of their service.

MINI trader online has never respond and keeps e-mailing us. If they can't respond to this simple request, I suspect they probably also don't run their site very well.

Just thought I would post my experience here. Completely up to the individual to use them or not. I've blocked the messages now and marked them as spam. Too bad the dude could not just respond the first time stating "sorry, we won't contact you again"....

I hate that sort of thing - and just try Autotrader, I swear they have a deal to notify brokers when cars are listed as we got calls from them instantly. Of course explicitly stating 'no brokers or dealers' makes no difference.

Best of luck selling the car
