When the buy and sell was published once a week, always got a good response. Once they started selling it twice per week sales dropped off.
If you wanted to try it, go for the weekend edition, as I found calls increased on Sundays and Mondays. (I presumed people were buying it with the Sunday papers).
website has been updated there lately but i find no order to their listings, well in furniture anyway, one thing will beup for say, 434 days beside a new item, too much trouble to find new items.
+1 for Donedeal. Buy & Sell sucks, since it changed hands. Have heard on a few occasions that scammers have more of a presence on Buy & Sell. But then these scum are likely to pop up on any site that presents an opportunity.
I have had ads on both donedeal.ie and carbuyersguide and other online car guides for a motor I'm selling and to date the only responses I've had have been from the donedeal.ie ads. It's cheap and easy to edit.
