craigslist rant

Craigslist are bottom feeders.


I had a car listed. One day, I get three offers in my email all way below my asking and minimum price. the highest bidder asked me what my bottom line was, and I told him. Same with the other two. The lowest bidder comes back and states, "what's your bottom line, I'm going to look at a bunch of these this weekend." I didn't even dignify that with a response.

These guys are trying to talk me down to a price and haven't even seen the car yet. WTF?

So, the "top bidder" gives me his number and we talk. He tries to get me to lower my price. I told him to come look at the car, it's nice, then we'll talk. As soon as he came to look at it, he said, "I want it. I"ll give you your minimum price. I've been looking at these for a year now, and this is the cleanest/nicest one that I've seen." - this was for a 2004 GTO with 36,000 original miles and many performance upgrades.

He then gave me a $1000 deposit to hold it until he came back three days later with the rest of the cash.
