Rant: Retards from Craigslist
 
So I've decided several things. Not only does Craigslist attract some of the ------- lowest levels of retarded scum life, people in this country have no concept of what it is to barter or negotiate a ------- deal. It goes like this: I post my item for a price somewhat higher than I expect to get. The Buyer then inquires further about the item, and if still interested, determines a time in which to see this item in person. Ok. The item we are discussing is my ------- car. Now, when you get to this point, as the buyer, perhaps you discussed on the phone or via email or whatever, whether or not the price is obo or negotiable. It is. Good. Now you go to the arranged meeting spot to check the item, and you bring with you cash equivalent to or slightly lower than that of the asking price. Upon surveying the car, you then proceed to nickle and dime the Seller (me) in order to lower the cost of the car as far as you possibly can. I, as the seller, am prepared for this, and already have in mind a minimum price that I will accept.

NO, I will not tell you "the lowest I could possibly go" in the first ------- email you send me (you know, the one with no name or other questions in it, just "how low can you go"). If I told you this, you would show up with less than what I tell you and waste my ------- time. Hell, I'd probably kick your ass and take your money and keep the car
NO, I will not accept $500 less than half of my ------- asking price
NO, I will not take your ------- pos chevy aveo as a down payment and then allow you to make monthly payments on my car ------WTF???????????
NO, little asian man, the car is not perfect, and when you come to look at the car, have some ------- social interaction skills (and yes, your girlfriend did indeed call your car slow in front of me)

ok.

And to top it off, driving the del sol I'm trying to sell tonight, I hit a ------- deer. 4 of the fuckers made a roadblock across the road on a dark, rainy night. I locked up the brakes and made a valiant effort to dodge them, but caught the ass end of one in my driver side headlight. Not too bad, need new headlight, corner light, bumper lens, maybe foglight, and to realign a bunch of ----, but ----, could the timing be worse? I don't have the time to ---- with this ----.

anyone want to buy a del sol?

ha.


ok.

Emails are easy to read if someone is serious. I ignore about 60 percent of emails has they are typical bull ---- waste your time. It takes time to understand the way it works but if you sell enough stuff look back at the ones that you actually sold too. They are simple,up front and get business done. If its 96 questions you will respond to them and not hear anything back.

yes, yes it is that car. Thanks for the sweet deal btw, I'm pretty happy with the tires. I actually had them mounted like 3 days ago.

Chris, have you ever thought about writing a book? It could be all about NA b16's making 3000 hp, oc recipes, and your experiences with selling honda parts to tards. Seriously. Let me know man, I'll be the editor.

I posted a PS3 with some games on CL last week for like $450. A guy got in contact with me and talked me down to $375 which I wasnt thrilled wit but I need $ for an ATV trailer, so I agreed. He asked me if I had the original boxes for the console and Guitar Hero, which I did - so I boxed everything up and brought it to work the next day. The next day the dude calls and said he'd be there in 20 minutes. NEVER SHOWED UP.

Fast forward to last night, I re-list it for $375. He emails me offering $295. I decline and he offers $300. 5 more bucks....WTF?

Next time somebody pulls that "whats the lowest you'll go", come back with "whats the most you're willing to pay?"

Whats the lowest you will go emails=waste of time.



Notice these people dont have money. If they have money they will discuss price with you in person.

I've given up on negotiations and have started the $xxx.xx FIRM technique. That way they know that is my price and there is no reason to try to make a ridiculous offer and if they do, you know they're not going to buy it anyways. The majority of the population is complete ----. You have to adjust for that.
