In a couple of weeks we'll be opening a separate office for Brick City Webs (our web design and hosting operation) and so today we were out shopping for office furniture. At each stop, the salesperson saw that one of us had "Ocala4sale.com" embroidered on our shirt and took the occasion to thank us for this website. The guy at Furniture Liquidators out on Airport Road said, "You guys saved my life. The transmission on my car went out and I found the parts I needed for like 75 bucks." He gave us a great deal on a sofa and a couple of chairs (but shockingly no discount for saving his life!). Then a half hour later, Leslie at Rooms to Go told us about how she sold a car for a couple thousand more than she expected. Even the person at the city occupational license counter thanked us for helping sell a house.

"So happy to have found this site, especially the fact that it monitors foreign scammers. I have listed this saddle on national sites and all I got (95%) was foreign responders, so discouraging I just gave up and took the saddles off the sites. Most other sites charge to display their ads so that was a added bonus for your site, and best of all, the saddle already sold. Thanks so much." — Anna Marion

"I sold my bass boat. Thank you so much for the use of your services. I tell all my friends about your website." — Ray Storm
