what kinda vehicles ya have up???? i tried selling my monte carlo on there and some guy asked me if i would take 600 for it.... its a 1980 in damn good shape with the 231 turbo and a "primo" continental kit...only 500 in existance... bastard... however i sold a kawasaki vulcan 750 and got what i asked for it.... so its mixed reviews here..

Do you mind me asking what you got for the bike? I have an 03 Vulcan 750 that I'm going to be selling.

I used to do a lot of detailing through craigslist, but you would be surprised how little people wish to pay for 8-10 hours of work that is obvious.

Generally speaking, I would do an exterior only detail for $150-$200, which is less than 3 other "professional" detailers, and they dont even fix the issues, they sell you cherry scented wax. My work is actual correction and they think that I will accept $45... Needless to say, I have given up on it because of the influx of idiots that found CL.

Can we stop the off topic CL stories? The topic was the reaction to OCing by potential internet buyers. If you guys want to talk CL and Ebay, go to the lounge.

Craigslist buyers are the biggest cheapf*cks on the planet.

Virtual garage sale vultures.

Central PA hick versions are even worse.

I resemble that remark..

Hahaha, oh the joys of Craigslist... There's an old trick I learned. If you wanna mess with one of your buddies you post an ad for a free lawnmower, used but runs great. Then put your buddies phone number in the ad. He'll be answring calls for days.

This is a cruel trick and I'd never reccomend doing it...

On that note, I played a joke on a fraternity brother a few years back where I posted up on craigslist a VERY convincing, sad story, about why a person had to adopt-out all of his exotic animals including, an alligator, one or two penguins, a few parrots (macaws) and I think I included a peacock or two. The story went on to describe how he was moving out and his new landlord (I said he was in a house with property) wouldn't allow the animals without a tremendous deposit. I posted the listing in about 15 different cities and he got phone calls for over a month (I think CL delets posts after 30 or 45 days in the community section). It got to a point where he wasn't even mad though, he would answer calls and put them on speakerphone at work. Thankfully he had a good sense of humor.

"...one or two penguins..."


Now that's funny right there....
