It seems that there has been a recent recent rash of brand new users trying to dump their leases on this forum. Multiple people have signed up over the last 1-2 days and posted their mediocre lease deals they are trying to get out of.
Is there some sort of advertisement out there to jump on leasehackr and rid yourself of your lease? I just can’t understand the recent spike other than coincidence.
Or is it because there’s no charge on LH, therefore free advertisement like Craigslist, only with a larger audience?
Perhaps, since the major lease swapping sites require a fee to post, LH should require a donation to post deals. It may help keep down on the clutter of mediocre/bad deals people are trying to rid themselves of, while also helping keep the lights on for those looking to get rid of legit decent deals.
The whole point of this site is to get a good deal. I’m not sure why lease transfers should get a pass. Sure, they’re most likely not going to get any takers, but it clutters the forum, and just causes 800 people to pile on how bad the deal is.
It just doesn’t seem very productive to me, and counter to what the main intent of the site is.
I cant understand the recent spike either. Some of these posters don’t even know if they are allowed to do a lease transfer. Also, I think its because the majority of these posters seem this to be as a way to skip the $200-$300 charge that they would have to pay at swapalease or leasetrader.com.
