+1 iv heard of tons of people being robbed when going to meet up with the buyer here in so cal, and have heard even worse stories of people having the buyer pick things up from their house.. I wonder if you can find customer short tails on craigslist though.. :stirthepot:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

:tup: im pretty sure illinois is the you can't do anything state.

Ebay is shot now too, too much spam and not enough buyers. Also cl is great for big items that u cant ship. I am not sure if area matters when u are buying used items.

here is another example. I listed a generator labeled 1400 Watts. Two different guys asked me for pics and told me they need a bigger one or they want to use it to power a restaurant

eBay is almost the same crap, then you have to deal with Paypal. :shakes head:

i tried to get rid of a 32" TV on Craigslist. I wanted a case of beer in exchange for a 32" TV with remote AND I would also throw in a free DVD player w/ remote. For a case of beer!!!! I got so many questions about the DVD player -

Does it work?
Do you have the owners manual?
What brand?

I ended up giving the TV and DVD player to a guy that bought my refrigerator, i just wanted the thing out of my garage.

I did sell a Jeep on Craigslist and that was a pleasant experience. Except for all the trade offers for motorcycles.

One thing I have noticed is that I am better off asking for $5 or $10 instead of just free, it's like people cant believe it

When I sold my bike, I had a guy offer me a pickup truck and a shotgun for it. It was like a redneck starter kit lol

Something I posted in a previous thread:

I put a bunch of stuff on Craig's list that I don't necessarily want to move with, ladders, jack, jack-stands, gym equipment, tools, etc. All of it was barely used (which is why I was selling obviously). What's important here is that all of my ads have a disclaimer like this:


Despite this, EIGHT FUCKIN PEOPLE CONTACT ME TODAY TRYING TO TALK ME INTO SELLING FOR LESS. I have like, a $300 mower, only used it a few months for a small patch of Phoenix grass in the front yard, letting it go for $100, and yet, someone still wants to try talking me down to $50.

Super fuckin irritating.

come to kenosha, wisconsin. you know you want to. its like the rest of chicago, but with lower taxes and guns!
