How many people over the years saw your ad. and looked at ebid when they got home? They might even have bought something from you or another seller without ever mentioning the ad. These days, with most people carrying mobiles, they can take a photo or store the info. on it in other ways. The majority of my buyers are making their first purchase on ebid but I have no idea how they found me here. I assume many come from google shopping, I know that a few are the result of a note in an obay parcel.
I didn't know that a car sized version was ever available, perhaps they still are? If not I'd buy one from the OP. From the way advertising works it seems that the advertising industry recognises that one ad. will do little, many ads. spread over a large area works better. Repeating them at intervals works better still.
No offence meant but your one ad. can't influence many people but if they spot the same ad. randomly in several cars and different venues the impact would be greater?
