Classifieds is a “one stop shop” marketplace to buy and sell farm items online
Farms.com recently improved the classifieds section of the popular agriculture website. The improvements were made to make it easier, quicker, and more effective for farmers to place a classified ad on Farms.com Classifieds.
Farms.com Classifieds is a great source for buying and selling everything farm related and Farms.com Classifieds is free -- you don’t have to pay to sign-up or post a classified ad. Farms.com Classifieds is simple to use, letting you easily search and filter through ads that do not match your needs so that you can quickly find exactly what you are looking for.
“We wanted to provide farmers with a ‘one stop shop’ marketplace to buy and sell farm items online,” says Farms.com Executive Vice President Joe Dales. “There’s lots of classified websites out there for buying and selling general household goods, but not many online classified resources for the farming community. Farming equipment, antique farm machinery, and other farming products are niche and need to reach a specific farming audience.”
BMWs, iphones, cars, ipads, TVs, and Harleys are among the most common searches on general online classified websites, but if you are a farmer with specific farming needs, posting a classified ad on one of those boards may not be that helpful to you.
The 3 most popular classified categories searched on the Farms.com Classifieds include the following:
1. Tractor
2. Harvesting Equipment
3. Hay and Forage
And of course, the popular searches on the Farms.com Classifieds change significantly based on the growing season and other farming influences.
Visit Farms.com Classifieds to browse through the listings of farm equipment, livestock, buildings, antiques and much more. You can narrow your search by geography to find the items that are nearest to you, or expand your search to find rare and unique items.
Intimidated by technology? Posting your classified ad is now simpler than ever. You can customize your ad with a detailed description and photos all for free. And remember, like the old saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. Photos really do sell classified ads. In print classifieds, a photograph can be expensive, but online you can upload one or more photos free of charge.
One unique feature to the Farms.com Classifieds, is that farmers who post a piece of used farm equipment will also automatically have their item included in the online inventory on the Farms.com Used Farm Equipment extending the reach of the classified ad and exposing as many potential customers as possible to the used equipment item.
One final note of caution, when buying or selling an item online: Buying and selling via Farms.com Classifieds is a private sale between two parties. Farms.com connects the two parties, however, like other classified sites, Farms.com is not liable for any losses or damages due to fraud for items found on its website. But Farms.com has prepared some best practices for how to protect yourself from classified fraud and scams.
