Craigslist rant..
 

K so i'm selling a dirtbike on CL, i've posted it up a few different times

WTF is up with people leaving their number saying "call me i want to talk to you about it" then when you call, they either A) Never pick up, or B) Are no longer interested

and then when i tell people i dont do phone calls, any questions or close up pictures u want i can take and send via email, NO ONE RESPONDS!

wtf.. and even when i say, if u are truely interested say so and i'll give u my number so we can set up a viewing, no response either..

Price it low, first come first serve won't hold for anyone. That's how I sell everything, seriously even cars have never taken me longer then a few days to sell most selling first day. You lose a little because you under price it a bit but the saved aggravation is totally worth it. People love a deal and will make an effort to come get it if it's good enough.

^Thats bang on, people want a deal they just simply cant pass up, even if its a total loss for you. Sadly that seems to happen even here on RS sometimes

ya a lot of it is like tat



they ask if u if u still have it, asking numerous questions

u tell them yes u still have it, leave phone number and will get back

NEVER hear again


wat the fuck


seriously, if u aint intersted, or doesnt have the cash. why bother even asking? why u cant afford the shit


fucking ppl i tell u

my price is very fair for the bike imo, i really cant go lower thats the thing

that's what i've noticed too. i price it fair or pretty good, i get interest but nothing happens. price it low so it's a darn good deal, then things happen.

it's worth it to get it gone, but still sucks when you price it really great and ppl still throw you a lower offer, but hey, that's craigslist.

that's what happens when you try to sell stuff when the economy is the way it is right now

$5 means A LOT for the buyers on craigslist, so if you are selling something common, look at what everyone else are selling the same thing for and price it $5-$10 less...
usually that will get your stuffs sold within a day...

and if you are serious, put firm on price..
nothing more annoying than getting 30 emails offering 50% of what you are listing the item for

its all about deals, but yeah I do hate when you sell something then respond with your phone # and never heard back from the people
