That's weird. You would think people that make a living selling garbage online are socially adept.

Go sell it in those pawn shops that have their shows on History Channel like the one in Louisiana and get 3 times its worth.

Someone offloading something at a quarter of the original price, won't drive over to you house for free? The nerve!

Read between the lines. This post is actually talking about discreet M4M craigslist hookups.

ENTITLED BITCH the world does not revolve around you.

Every Craigslist deal I've ever been involved in took place in a very public place for safety reasons, that's pretty much the standard. NO ONE is going to risk going to someone's private residence to unload or buy some iPhones that may or may not be totally stolen.

If you want what they are selling bad enough you will get off your lazy ass and meet the person someplace, just like everyone else does.

The flake quotient is so unbelievably high on CL that you have to be very direct with communication. Even when trying to give away stuff for free, I've had people say they're all interested, save it for them, and then they go radio silent.

Funny, the folks selling back-alley hand-jobs have always been pretty darn nice to me.

"craigslist dicks"? Quit reading my web history!

Not wanting to jump right on the "Well yeah it's CRAIGSLIST" bandwagon, I actually read your complaints.

Guy #1 - did you try having any part of your conversation with him aloud? It might help if you don't make him read your mind. But yeah, don't expect delivery. Usually the deal with Craigslist is the first person to get to the item gets to buy the item and take it away. If you have no means of transportation, you should be shopping on Amazon where they will ship things to you.

Guy #2 - The discount was the here-and-now discount, so don't be surprised when the discount goes away after you fail to buy here-and-now. Do you want $20, or do you want time to think? You only get one. He TOLD you that. Fucking duh.

Guy #3 - He's probably used to people flaking out, since this is craigslist. He also has other shit to do in his day, probably because he's not a full-time craigslist retailer - again, this is craigslist. Set up an appointment and stick to it, or else boycott his attitude, but don't come around here complaining and expecting anybody to give a fuck.


I've had GREAT luck on craigslist (I post ads for what I'm looking for and name a price range - it actually works really well and I've gotten some great shit for really cheap, no shitty attitudes involved) so I have to think that the problem is with your expectations. Or you might just be more abrasive/hippyish (which reads as flakey to the general population) than you realize.

Fucking classic.

The free section is a complete shit show. I've never fucksed with it, but I had a friend who was really into the competition of it. It got to the point where he was claiming all sorts of shit that he didn't need because it happened to be near him and he felt compelled to get there first.

It's not them, it's you.
