Ok so I tried making my add pretty specific. And tried to explain pretty well but seems to still be confusing people. Some people asked if I'm selling all 40lbs for $40 or that may math is off yadda yadda. Anyhow want to see if you guys would mind critiquing this ad and give me a little advice. Am I being too complicated or what ?




Mods please remove if this violates the adverisment rules.

So you are wanting to sell the 40 pounds you have in 10 pound increments. Any combination of weight sizes is available, or you can buy 10 pounds of any size if you wish.
If you want to order less than ten pounds, price is (see above), or more than 10 pounds, price is (see above).
Is that right, Wolfie?

You spelled the word "ad" incorrectly.

It makes perfect sense to me.

Basically the only real variation is the price for shipping on smaller or larger orders.

Lol I swear I can't English some days

The header for your ad:

"10 Pounds of No Roll, Lead Fishing Weights for Sale for $40.00, Shipping Included."

The body:

"I have 10 pound boxes of excellent quality, no roll, lead fishing weights for $40.00 each which includes free shipping in the continuous 48 states.

You have a choice of 3, 4, 5 ounce weights or a combination of the three sizes.

If you want less than 10 pounds of weights, the price per pound is $3.00 and shipping will be $7.64 in the continuous 48 states.

I can ship up to 12 pounds in one box. If you want more than 12 pounds, the weights are $3.00 a pound plus $13.20 for shipping in the continuous 48 states.

I have a limited supply of weights available, but will be making more.

For payment, I take PayPal, USPS money orders from the Post Office and Cash App. I will give you the tracking number once I receive your payment and your package is shipped.

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions."

Then put your contact information.

That's so much better than what I said lol ! Mind if I use it ?

If your going to use PP for a business transaction you should expect to pay for the service, not saying you can't pass that cost along.

Suggesting the use of F & F to avoid those costs is encouraging another person to be dishonest.

Not at all. I wanted to help you. Almost my entire living comes from me writing ads for stuff I sell.

Use Keiths copy...but don't be surprised when your still asked stupid questions, it's not your fault, people don't/can't/won't read anyway...lol

So 10 lbs of lead at $3/lb ($30) and $7.64 shipping adds up to $40?

IMHO...just sell it for $0.20 an ounce, or $3.20 a pound. ($0.60 ea on the 3 oz, $0.80 on the 4 oz, and $1 for the 5 oz) then add shipping.

A padded flate rate envelope will fit 2 small flat rate boxes, and is generally almost the sane price for larger orders.

Taxes usually add an extra $2 And the rest is gas. And I might consider the sale by ounce deal as well
