some people....

I agree with everyone above. The world is full of assholes and a Craigslist ad just gives them an opportunity to interact with you. I sell pretty regularly on CL and sometimes use texts to communicate. If someone starts off on the wrong foot, I blow them off with a snarky reply and move on. People (myself included) will say things to each other over texts that they wouldn't have the nerve to say to someone's face. It's a cat and mouse game that people use to get good deals on CL. Unfortunately, some people feel the need to degrade what you're selling. I take good pictures and give a good description. Usually, the serious buyers will call and talk about what you're selling.
