(Ad) The CM yard sale list is BIG this weekend Scan CM Classifieds Now! Scan them three times a day.Don't miss out on a thing! It may be that the early start of school is giving yard sales a boost, but today there is an unusually large list in ColumbiaMagazine.com Yard Sales. Most of them have GPS map links, as the shift to finding things with mobile devices is increasing at a geometric pace. We're trying as hard as we can to keep apace of the changes in CM Classifieds. It's been tough: Things sell so fast. Even a listed house was sold in less than 5 days in the past week! And rentals? They such seem to go up and go down. Maybe there just aren't many available. Car listings and motorcycles receive similar responses. As happy as we are about the responses in the paid category, we know that similar responses are occurring with Want to Buy, For Sale, Computers & Electronics (surprised more people are making these a second income sideline). Two categories really shine: 1) The legendary response in CM Animals. We think there may be a book in the stories associated with some almost miracle responses, and, 2) Employment. We should have known this would happen: Advertisers are telling us that they not only fill positions more quickly with CM, they are telling us something we should have known: Those who respond tend to be much more highly qualified!!!
