How fast Columbia ads come down
Of 10 Columbia ads we watched end, 20% came down within 14 days of posting.
Craigslist removes a post after 30 to 45 days, so a long listing time often means the seller re-posted. See how fast used boat ads come down for the method.

The 20 most recently seen of 40 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
