The only good experiences I have had are when I have listed things for free. Anytime I try to sell anything it is more of a pain than it is worth.

 

CL has been good to me and its about to be good to me again today..like what was said before.. you need to sift through the crap and if your buying.. you need to talk to seller via the phone, not just email. People usually put stuff on CL that they just want gone so deals can be had! I got my Dunlop Winter Sports last year with like no milage on them from an older fella' that had them on an Acura TSX or something.. 4 like new tires cost me 150 bucks!! Goin today to pickup a set of RPF's I found.

 

I;ve had better luck selling on forums I'm a community member of like here or my local Evo forum.

 

I've bought & sold a decent amount of stuff on craigslist...No way in hell will I post my phone # on there, if they want to get a hold of me they can shoot me an email....

 

i've had a kid lowball the crap outta me for a aem intake for a civic, its already a CHEAP asking price...so i said "whatever man, come pick it up" he came right away, and when he walked off with it, he asked me "why did you sell it for so cheap?"

WTF bro seriously?? you lowballed the fck outta me! must i explain?
i hate dealing with a certain crowd if you know what i mean.

 

I sold a trolley jack back when I had my Talon. After I lowered the car, the jack wouldn't fit and was useless to me. It was perfectly functional. I explained this in my ad. Listed the thing for $20 FIRM just to make it disappear.

Had people email me to ask why I was selling it. Default response was "Literacy is cool."

Got lowballed 6 ways from Sunday on it... $10, $15, got offered trades for random garbage.

One particularly bad day, I had a guy call and offer me $12. I asked him if he knew the definition of "firm", and he started "Yeah, but..." and I cut him off; "Yeah, but nothing. It says firm in the add, and $20 firm is what the price is, if you need help remembering what that means, you can bend over and I'll give you a firm reminder." Click.

I've got a set of tires I need to sell but have been holding off on CL just because I don't want to deal with this BS again.

 

Don't give people your phone number until they are ready and committed to buy.

 

yea i know the feeling as well. while the honda was on CL i said no trades, i had morons offering me ****box integras, civics etc... and i thought to myself didnt i say on the ad NO TRADES???? i guess people nowadays are just ****ing morons...

 

People are d-bags. My friend recently lost her dog and so she naturally posted Lost Dog signs on the street. She received dozens of fake calls and B.S. messages from people pretending to find her dog and then laughing about it.

Yea I hate Craigslist too. I have a complete 72gal bowfront aquarium for sale. Everything including two filters for 350. I got an offer for 150...people amaze me.
