In response to Mike, I agree SMTN sales staff misrepresent values, the volume and prices of completed sales (they are counting every inquiry at the asking price, not confirmation of actual rented or sold unit at agreed upon prices), and probably a number of other things.

However, I have paid for 31 ads on thier site and have had sufficient bookings to justify the expense. That's better than my experience on Redweek. I certainly receive a number of inquiries, but not bookings. What does it matter if I paid less for a Redweek ad if I do not get bookings?

So my position on SMTN is still the same. yes they lie. Yes they will stop updating your ad after a few years even if you paid for a perpetual ad. But they don't remove the ad if its perpetual and inquiries thru SMTN result in more bookings than most other sites. so far only Craigslist has provided a higher booking rate.

I guess I've overlooked what we are defining as a scam. SMTN can be considered a scam because the sales pitch is full of deception. But the site works. Is it worth the money? I think so. Are the lies justified because the site works? Definitely not.

Hi Peter,

I'm curious why you recently purchased another rental posting on RedWeek.com under a new account if you didn't have success with the previous ones. BTW, I've edited out your website address out of the new posting as well. You know from past experience that including your personal website is not allowed.

Looking forward to your reply.

Marty
