So glad I found you...is how my voicemail started out. I did do my homework and some additional research and while I WILL NOT BE USING LongWood as I do not like the way I was approached, especially since they are violating Craigslist TOS and I simply do not believe in companies that do this. I realize that they feel as though they are not in fact in violation of craigslist TOS because they are actually a NON-PROFIT organization.
So for all of you that are wondering, instead of taking the same route everyone else took and calling to find out what they were gonna do to see my bike, I played the opposite card. I called and said I wanted to buy a bike. I was actually treated respectful on the phone and was told that they have three websites that I can browse and search for vehicles I am interested in. Once I find one, write down the reference number and call them back and they would give me the sellers contact info. You can also opt to enter your e-mail address, once you find a vehicle and they alert the seller with your e-mail address.
I did actually locate a vehicle I was interested in and elected to use E-mail to get the seller to contact me. About 3 minutes after I submitted this I received an e-mail from the seller who told me he had been notified I was interested in purchasing his vehicle.
So all in all the service may actually be legit but the problem I have with them is the way they go about getting their clients.
If anyone is interested in seeing the sites they use and how they are listed I have included the links below.
If anyone does actually utilize them, please post something back here so that we all know if they are what they claim to be. As I have not found one listing that says they do what they claim to do!
