You told the guy where you lived? Brave man.I tried to sell something on Craigs List once, agreed to a price with a guy and when he showed up he still tried to talk me down. I said he agreed to a price pay up. He still tried to renegotiate. I was so pissed I told him to f*ck off and refused to sell to him. Then when I said the deal was off it was , "ok ok here's the money" and I still said no get the f*ck out of here. I go inside and he's knocking on the door now offering to pay me MORE money than what we agreed to and apologizing profusely. I told him to leave or I was calling the police. That was the last time I did anything on Craigs List.

Yes, this happens almost every time. But, there aren't a ton of avenues to sell shit that reaches a mass amount of consumers, unfortunately.
People on craig'slist are looking for a deal.Omg, all these assholes on Craigslist...
"So, will you take $200?"
"Ummm, this is at Costco fo $300 + warranty" (NOT even the same one, dumbfucks)"
"I have $175, cash, pick up today" (Fk you)
MAN
People on craig'slist are looking for a deal.
You mark everything up, then when they try to bid you down you just give in a little and still end up ahead.
Or if you have a firm price be like $XXX DELIVERED and people will think they are getting a deal because you will drop it off at their house.
I'm not delivering shit. I always list high, then gradually go down in time.
These are people flat out offering over $100-$200 less than what it's listed for. Totally rude.
I feel like you dont understand craigslist. Thats just how it is.
Its like an online flea market listing, negotiation is part of the deal.
She understand exactly that. She's not letting people rip her off.
Buying and selling anything to people you don't know is a rip off. There is no way I would buy something like that remotely close to what the seller perceives as the "real value".
If that's the way you see it, fine.
something small that has less potential to be broke I have zero issues with. An appliance or something electronic no way. You have zero way of knowing the real condition of the product and it's actual use. I would rather buy retail and get the warranty.

Along the lines of buying and selling shit online convo....I am reminded again today why I HATE dealing with the US Postal Service. We have customers that insist on using them because they can be cheaper and a lot of times when I buy something on Ebay the people selling want to use USPS to save a buck as well. But along with the cheapness comes shitty delivery service, shitty customer service, and inaccurate tracking of packages. Once again spending my Monday morning trying to track down something that was suppose to already be delivered and these jackasses don't have a clue. Frustrating...

It's only accurate with priority shopping within the US, I've found.
Standard is bullshit for tracking & reliability.

Priority flat rate is the best thing ever. I don't know why you'd use first class if you wanted to track something. It's literally 5-14 days.Along the lines of buying and selling shit online convo....I am reminded again today why I HATE dealing with the US Postal Service.
