Selling on Craigslist is like working with the mentally retarded. - GoFuckYourself.com

Babaganoosh · 11-18-2010, 12:47 PM

Seriously, I posted 4 ads to get rid of some used laptops I have collected. In each ad I stated at the top and bottom "PRICE IS FIRM. NO TRADES."

Each reply I have gotten has been someone trying to jew me down or trade me something. I used to think ebay was shit but I am starting to think that maybe their fees aren't so ridiculous.

So far I have had idiots contact me wanting to trade me: a sewing machine, two xbox 360s (one working, one not), an ipad, a non-running ATV and one guy who wanted to trade me a 1974 "Camero" with no motor or transmission.

Fuck Craigslist.

I just ignore those guys. Clicking delete is worth all of the benefits CL provides.

About a month ago I had a bidding war on CL, it was kind of funny. I made the guy pay me over asking price with PayPal to reserve it, it worked.

its annoying to deal with. I was trying to sell my macbook pro for $800 bucks and got all sorts of stupid responses... including someone looking to trade me neon lights and a head unit for a car.

likewise, I was recently selling a subwoofer, box and amp I had in my old car. Worth about $1200 or more, I figured $500 was a fair price. Considering the sub was hardly used and still goes for over $500 new figured i would get some people to bite.

I clearly stated I am selling it because I have no use. I had offers of people wanting to trade shitty car stereo equipment to mp3 players, etc... even tho I had CASH ONLY

Best is when they come to pick it up and try to jew you down then... ive had a few people come by when I was selling my iPhone who I just shut the door in their face

I had a guy drive one hour to buy a mini refrigerator from me that I listed for a really nice deal. "What's your bottom dollar?" "It's what I listed." "Come on man, this is for my daughter." "You didn't just drive one hour without expecting to pay full price, that's the price." "Fine."

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jew_down

* Jew down

[edit] Etymology

From the noun Jew, by a stereotype of Jews as stingy or miserly, and down.
[edit] Verb

to jew down (third-person singular simple present jews down, present participle jewing down, simple past and past participle jewed down)

1. (offensive) To bargain or haggle with a seller in order to obtain a lower price for a good or service. [quotations ▼]

* 1861, Henry, George W., Tell Tale Rag, and Popular Sins of the Day, self-published (1861), p. ix,

[?] the popular and fashionable lying, which is so prolific between merchant and customer, as the process of jewing down is going on among all traders of the day.

* 1906, unnamed university president, quoted in John Maxson Stillman's "Relations of Salary to Title in American Universities", in Journal of Proceedings and Addresses of the Eighth Annual Conference of the Association of American Universities, Association of American Universities (1907), p. 80,

Equality, too, removes the possibility of bargaining, of jewing up or jewing down a salary, according to the exigencies of the moment.

* 2005, Belfrage, Cedric, Away from It All: An Escapologist's Notebook, Kessinger Publishing (2005), ISBN 1417985194, p. 131,

Millan had already been repeating his loud opinion of all Hindus, before the tailor he had so efficiently jewed down was half out of the room.

Usage notes

* This term is considered offensive, as it is based on a stereotype considered offensive.

* This term is used both intransitively and transitively. In transitive uses, the direct object may refer either to the seller, or to the kind of price (cost, fee, rent, etc., or more generally price). In all cases, the original

Ok that is all great but it still isnt "racist" since its NOT A FUCKING RACE.

Judaism is not a race because Jews do not share one common ancestry. For instance, Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardic Jews are both "Jewish." However, whereas Ashkenazi Jews often hail from Europe, Sephardic Jews often hail from the Middle East. People of many different races have become Jewish over the centuries.

Not that I give a shit one way or the other, or that I want to agree with Sally at all (

Of course you are right. I know very well that the term "Jew" does not refer to a "race" but so many people do use it that way and in fact, antropologist have virtually done away with the term "race" as it is essenitally meaningless. The rule I quoted does seem to be the best fit though, I think.

bronco67 · 11-18-2010, 01:36 PM

I tried to sell a very fast computer for about half the used market value. I played email seesaw with some asshole for 5 days answering his questions and telling him my price was firm. I finally knocked 50 bucks off for him to be nice, then he came back the next day to ask for a free keyboard. I told him to fuck off and don't contact me anymore -- in those words.

I only use Craigslist if I have some something big to give away and I don't feel like hauling it to the dump. Even then, some asshole will start asking all kinds of fucking questions.

I understand this guy's pain...

It's "Red LYon". Thanks for the invite but I'm way to tied up with some biz right now to even think of the trek to Lawrence. Besides, I prefer the Yacht Club or The Harbour. Perhaps another time.

I used to go to the Taproom once in a while too(or 8th Street Taproom so "Sally" doesn't correct me). The Taproom is a shithole but the people are great. The one, shared, poorly lit red bathroom freaked me out though. It felt like pissing at a murder scene.

Yeah, you are right on that one! The Harbour Lights, I mean! Just having some fun with you. Wish I could make it sometime. A freind of my Dad's used to own a gay bar that was UNDER that place on the corner next to The Sandbar but that was years ago. Freestate isn't bad but a lot of their beers are far too grainy or sweet for me but the food is great.

I can't remember. It used to be a black bar back in the day. The only gay bar I remember in town was the Hideaway over across the street from the police station. It was around the corner from Brothers...or Jerseys I think it was back then.

SexSearchSuzanne · 11-18-2010, 02:04 PM

You really do meet some strange people sometimes on CL and Kijiji. I think half the people are lacking reading comprehension skills ... if you specify something in the ad (for example, no delivery) you will constantly get people asking you to deliver and whining about why can't you deliver, they have no car, it's too far for them to drive, etc. For $20 items.

Having said that it's still a great way to get rid of stuff if you're moving. Instead of paying the mattress store $10 to take the old one away I sold it for $30, not huge money but it saved paying someone to get rid of it.

Dad says this is around 30 years ago, which is before me. I'll ask the guy next time I talk to him but he Winters in Texas. Dad is old enough that he goes back to the original Gaslight on Oread and the Tee Pee when it was still a bar.

The original owner recently sold it to a group which guarranteed restoratio and continued use as a bar/party/catering biz. They have repainted the tee pee itself with both flood lines replaced. I drive by it going home on those rare occasions I get down to Lawrence.

Try stating that you don't deliver. See how many people ask you to meet them at a train station or a mall.

Rochard · 11-18-2010, 02:34 PM

A few years back I discovered I had a bunch of old and very large CRT monitors taking up space. I put them up on Craig's list for $100 for all of them. It was mostly just to get rid of them. This kid shows up and gives me $100 and carts them all away. He told me he had a huge computer network and need lots of monitors.

Basically, he paid me $100 to take away my trash.

Ive been selling a lot of stuff the past few weeks since i am moving out of the country.

I posted most of our furniture last night and have had about 50 responses and climbing. Craigslist can move shit fast!

I find it never hurts to ask how much on the phone. Often the seller will lower the price if you sound serious.

96ukssob · 11-18-2010, 03:32 PM

try listing something for $1, you will get 5 responses... then list it for free and you will have an inbox of people wanting it, no matter what it is.

True but then you get someone who says yes they want to pick up your free furniture or whatever it is, you go out of your way to meet them, and they look at it in person and say oh it's not exactly what I was looking for I don't want it anymore.

Original ad:
Broken Xbox 360? Red ring of death? Disc-read error? No problem! We repair broken Xbox 360s for $50 or less. Call or email ***-***-2811 or **********@comcast.net

From Me to **********@comcast.net:

Hello,

I sure hope you will be able to help me. I'm not sure what is wrong with my Xbox but it will not turn on. I've tried plugging it in to a bunch of different outlets, but none of them seem to work. Do you think you can help?

Thanks,

Mike

From Dean ****** to Me:

Hi Mike,

The outlet most likely has nothing to do with why your system won't turn on.

I certainly can help you though. I will rectify your xbox and can have it back to you in a week or so depending on the problem. Do you live in the area or would you like to ship the console?

Dean

From Me to Dean ******:

Oh my god, you are sick! I will not let you do that unspeakable act to my Xbox. I always knew that the internet is full of freaks and sexual deviants, but you have reached a new low. I thought your ad was for Xbox repairs, but I have been horribly mistaken.

From Dean ****** to Me:

Mike,

I'm not sure what you think I was saying. To rectify is to repair or mend something that is broken. I was only trying to tell you that I would repair your Xbox. I am sorry for any misunderstanding.

Dean

From Me to Dean ******:

Dean,

Don't lie to me. I know what rectify means, and the fact that you want to do it with an Xbox is disgusting. I can't even imagine how it is possible to do it with something that big, or what kind of pleasure that could possibly bring to a pervert like you. Regardless, I want my Xbox to be fixed, not to be violated and returned to me covered in ass hairs and feces. I will just mail it back to where I bought it and hope that the warranty is not void.

Mike

From Dean ****** to Me:

You clearly don't know the definition of rectify. I assure you I only want to fix your system.

From Me to Dean ******:

Dean,

I don't even want to know what you mean by "fix my system." Leave me alone before I call the police, you pervert.

Mike

From Dean ****** to Me:

I mean I am going to solve the problem that is causing your Xbox 360 to not turn on. That is all.

From Me to Dean ******:

Dean,

Even if you did return it to me and it worked, I would never be able to look at my Xbox the same way. There will always be the thought in the back of my mind that you took it and violated it.

I am going to post an ad warning other unsuspecting victims about the true disgusting motive behind your ad. What you are doing is sick.

Mike

From Dean ****** to Me:

If you do that then I will post an ad explaining that you are a fucking idiot that doesn't know what "rectify" means. Go fuck yourself.

I was trying to sell my macbook pro for $800 bucks and got all sorts of stupid responses... including someone looking to trade me neon lights and a head unit for a car. likewise, I was recently selling a subwoofer, box and amp I had in my old car. Worth about $1200 or more, I figured $500 was a fair price. Considering the sub was hardly used and still goes for over $500 new figured i would get some people to bite. I clearly stated I am selling it because I have no use. I had offers of people wanting to trade shitty car stereo equipment to mp3 players, etc... even tho I had CASH ONLY Best is when they come to pick it up and try to jew you down then... ive had a few people come by when I was selling my iPhone who I just shut the door in their face __________________ Email: Clicky on Me

I'm going to have a few beers and eat some popcorn at the Red Lion tonight. You should come by and say hi. Maybe we could settle our differences over a friendly game of darts? __________________ I like pie.

bronco67 Too lazy to set a custom title Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 29,032	I tried to sell a very fast computer for about half the used market value. I played email seesaw with some asshole for 5 days answering his questions and telling him my price was firm. I finally knocked 50 bucks off for him to be nice, then he came back the next day to ask for a free keyboard. I told him to fuck off and don't contact me anymore -- in those words. I only use Craigslist if I have some something big to give away and I don't feel like hauling it to the dump. Even then, some asshole will start asking all kinds of fucking questions. I understand this guy's pain... __________________ Last edited by bronco67; 11-18-2010 at 01:40 PM..

I think half the people are lacking reading comprehension skills ... if you specify something in the ad (for example, no delivery) you will constantly get people asking you to deliver and whining about why can't you deliver, they have no car, it's too far for them to drive, etc. For $20 items. Having said that it's still a great way to get rid of stuff if you're moving. Instead of paying the mattress store $10 to take the old one away I sold it for $30, not huge money but it saved paying someone to get rid of it. __________________ Suzanne SexSearch.com XXXMatch.com Xpress.com PassionSearch.com ManPlay.com

I put them up on Craig's list for $100 for all of them. It was mostly just to get rid of them. This kid shows up and gives me $100 and carts them all away. He told me he had a huge computer network and need lots of monitors. Basically, he paid me $100 to take away my trash. __________________ “The choice is no longer between right or left.

UniqueD Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Barcelona Posts: 1,022	Ive been selling a lot of stuff the past few weeks since i am moving out of the country. Craigslist has been pretty good to me, except for the occasional idiot asking me "how much" when i clearly had the price posted. I posted most of our furniture last night and have had about 50 responses and climbing. Craigslist can move shit fast!
