Default Is Wings And Wheels 'contact the seller' form actually working?

I want to inquire the owner of a 201 Standard Libelle (first page, red nose, red winglets) and sent a message via the W&W surface - no response.
Similar thing happened approximately a year ago while inquiring another owner - I found him via different channels and he said he hasn't gotten any message.

You could always call the number listed? I'm assuming there is a number listed.
You can also search on SSA website.
I've had great response from the few people I've contacted.
I wish there were gliders wanted ads on WnW though.
Good luck!

As I've looked at the advertisement, just realized that the owner's name and phone number was there, which I've apparently totally missed. That's my bad. Also got the owner's email address, thanks a lot!

I recently sold a glider via Wings & Wheels and the seller contact form seemed to work fine. It was listed for a long while and it worked over the entire listing period and renewal periods.

Happy to help. Good luck on the purchase. Looks like a nice plane.

W&W seller notification continues to work as designed. Sellers decide how they respond to each message.

I have sporadically had trouble with the contact form over the last few years, can't recall specifics now. I just contact the seller directly when it (or I?) spaz out. Maybe skinware for all I know.

I recently used the contact seller without any reply, guessing it did not work.

After selling a glider, I made five contact seller form inputs and received a reply to each request. Actually one seller reached out to me twice to tell me the glider was sold. I suggested he mark it sold, but it's still out there. I suspect he (sounded rather elderly on the phone) had help posting the original ad and is clueless about marking it sold.
