Craigslist Rant!

What is it with people on Craigslist? I've never had so many people waste my time. I've been trying to part out a car and sell off some good used tires to make room in the shop. I get emails everyday telling me how they really need a part and to call or email them ASAP, you get back with them and they either basically ask for it for nothing or they never needed it to begin with. I have a set of tires and rims that 4 people apparently desperately need but none of them can seem it get a ride over to get them. I spend at least 20 minutes a day dealing with jerk offs with very little to show for it. Last week, I took the time to pull the exterior door handle off the parts car because the doofus was on his way to get it.... Never showed. He must of called me 7 times beforehand telling me how needed that door handle and was on his way...

Then, last night I get this one.....
Sorry i haven't contact you until now Thanks for your reply concerning
my inquiry. I am quite comfortable with the price and condition, I
will also add $50 to your asking price that is for you to hold it for
me, Please provide your full name, Address and your Phone number so
that I can send your payment.

I will be paying you by certified check. The payment will be mail as
priority express mail which you will receive in 2 day,As for
delivery,I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have
received the payment. If this meets your approval, kindly get back to
me as soon as possible,with your name, phone # and mailing address
where payment will be sent to, so that I can have my assistant get the
certified check and mail it to you.

Note: As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the
picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off
Craigslist today.
Best Regards

Really, these idiots need to get a life! :rant
 
Ryan:

There is something about CL that does tend to bring the idiots out of the woodwork. It seems that reading comprehension is on the decline around here. In my experience, about 1/3 of the replies I get are from people with cognitive impairments.

For example, I was selling a used aftermarket universal Holley carb with the list number shown and the admonition: "Verify this fits your application before calling"

I get some guy texting me a series of questions about the condition of the carb, all of which i answer.

Then he comes back with " does it fit my Chevy 350?"

I reply, "if your intake manifold fits the standard Holley 600 cfm base and there is enough clearance between the intake and the underside of your hood, yes."

Never heard another peep.

Some might argue that the guy drives a Chevy, so what do you expect? I suspect that if this guy actually bought it, he would expect me to install it for him!!!!!!!
 
I sometimes think the only people worse than the Craigslist buyers are the sellers. I am amazed at the numbers who think they can get new, retail prices for older, used stuff. I've seen ads listed and re-listed again and again for stuff I made fair or even better offers on. I really like it when you find the exact same item listed just below an identical one for half the price. You would think that might get the guys attention to the fact he is way off on his price. Market value is a lost concept to some some.
 
One of the kids that was holding up the sale of the tires and rims I have actually asked if I would deliver them. Yeah, I'm gonna drive an hour one way to deliver.... He probably would've offer less money and say its all he had..

D/FW CL is like a swap meet, lots of overpriced junk that never sells or good stuff that sells fast. I find it amazing how many people out there can't spell and lack even 2nd grade grammar skills in their ads. The most common is posting something "for sell" or "need to sale".
