On this day ten years ago, Radioman CJ Morgan created the first of two commercials that helped him sell both of his junk cars. The vehicles had been in a state of disrepair for some time and had been sitting in the radio station’s parking lot. Eventually, he was forced to move them and came up with an idea on how to sell them. Within 30 minutes he had written, shot and uploaded the first video.
It wasn’t the video’s success on Facebook or YouTube but Craigslist that got the phone ringing. By September of 2014, both cars were sold on The Captain was a few hundred dollars richer.
