It would be slightly less rediculous if you were selling a $200 beater... but that is just retarded...
Why are you coming down so hard on her? I'm mean, she just had a baby! Seriously, though, Craigslist makes me lose faith in the overall intelligence of mankind. (Not that I had much beforehand.) Your case kind of reminds me of when I was selling a 1998 C43 AMG for my brother a few years ago. I probably had over a dozen people asking if I would personally provide a "payment plan" for them on a 17,000 dollar car. When I told one woman that it wasn't possible, she yelled, "BUT I GO TO CHURCH DOWN THE STREET FROM YOU!" Idiots.
yea i dont know how i'd feel about having her on the boards, she'd probably beg for parts "hi my name is latrice, and i was wondering if you would give me your cat back exhaust, i really need it. I HAVE A BABY!"
Yeah I posted up some wheels yesterday and got 12 responses just like that with in 30 min... Common sence is not so common and yes nice touch with the address :rofl:
fixd for joo and yeah lol at craigslist its amzing the people that try to sell things and have no mileage, condition, pictures, or information. like "2003 cbr runs good" no phone number, whether its a 600 or 1000, miles, location, price, anything...
You guys get crap like that because you live in the middle of drug/loser/prosecute/get a life ville USA. When I was last down I took a wrong turn after we left the Taco Mac meeting and MAN was I in the dumps. Had crack heads yelling for me to pull over and I was honestly very nervous that I was gonna get jacked by some loser needing their next fix. Had the gun sitting in my lap until I got out of that place!
I don't even know where I was. All I know was I wanted to get the heck out of there. Found I-285 and got out.
Based on my experience, downtown Atlanta can be okay... it's actually the area on the fringes of Atlanta proper that can be really seedy. Come hang out with me in East Point. There is a square area of about two blocks in each direction of my house that is okay. Drive very far off the main drag, though, and it's probably about as close to Hell as you'll want to get. We get some majorly seedy foot traffic by my house... just last May I had to come out and almost kill a guy because he was trying to kick through my fence. Last Saturday I had to draw a gun and tell a crack addict to step back off of my front porch. Granted, he just "Wanted to know if there was any work I needed done," but the crackheads should know better than to just march up on my porch when I'm trying to relax. Regardless, I only mention the above because I do think that the Craigslist experience has a lot to do with where you live. I grew up in the sticks of Northeast Tennessee, and while there were crazy rednecks up there, I never had to put up with the insanity I see at my current address. It's partly my fault- I took a gamble and bought in an area that was "up and coming," but the economy tanked and everything went downhill. My wife grew up here... I'm glad I'm with her, and I'm glad that I'm really close to where I work. It's hard not to get painfully homesick, though.
K. Marx I was just up in your old stomping grounds or nearby this past weekend. Rode the Harley all around Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sieverville, Deal's Gap, and all the surrounding places. Beautiful up there right now and so peaceful. Okay back on topic.....Craigslist here in SC isn't bad at all. I'm on it constantly looking for deals. My parents just bought a Pathfinder off CL for dang cheap.
