I placed an ad on Craigs List in the Austin area. Stating that I buy houses any condition, any situation. Its been 4 days and I didnt get one call what so ever.
also in my experience craigslist can ghost your ads if their system thinks you are a spammer or maching posting a lot of ads, someone told me to post 3 ads a day only in a given city period and then if we want to post some more then do it from a diff IP address in other words take your laptop or go to an internet cafe and log on & post there to escape craigslist ghosting you, and then the next day doing the same if you want more ads for example.
I did it and it seems to be working I have had ads in diff cities for diff things, also other people can flag your ads if they think you are a not for real or simply dont want competition, it is unfair but it does happen it has to me here in san diego. I have a lot of experience in sales & marketing & if it's one thing I learned it is if smthng is not wrkng (& it's not because of ghosting) then make sure your ads are eye catchy and bried, like "We buy Houses! Any Condition! Call xxx-xxx-xxxx etc change em up and you will get calls believe me oh brother I have had and have calls coming in from my craisglist ads I have placed here recently, good luck.
I'm here in San Antonio and I haven't had good luck with Craigslist ads. I continue to post and update regularly but unfortunately a lot of competition. Keep tweaking your ads and see if that works. Good luck!

I had read on another post that Carol places her ads in multiple ad site locations.
No matter what I have ever used CL for on anything it has always proved to be a major disappointment whether it was no response, spammers, or flags for no apparent reason even after adjusting for straight two sentence verbage. It got to be labor intensive
Try the many different sites and find one that works for you. It may not be CL.

Are you making sure that you updated your Craigslist ad daily? My experience is that I need to update my ads in order to keep them in the public eye.
Best of luck.
