Why do people insist on mispelling every other word in an ad. Not use any punctuation, poor grammar and try to pass it off as if their sh1t is worth something?


Is it just me, or does that piss other people off too?

I'm not going to buy your stinking heap of sh1t car, if you can't even spell.

/rant off

[leocdmg]

Sir you spelled shit wrong

Sorry had to do it I agree. I would even buy from those people.

[Comet]

do people actually buy stuff off of craigslist?
I thought it was just one big joke for people to put up funny classifieds ads and look for sex

[leocdmg]

Its a pretty decent website to find stuff you really dont want to spend alot on.
I needed a desk for a little bit instead of spending over $100 at Ikea I bought the same one for $30.

[DBFIU]

I sometimes don't get craigslist. It is not organized, everything is randomly placed on the website. It looks like a high school kid in computer class designed it using HTML.

I understand it's free, so is wikipedia and they do a pretty good job of keeping things logical.

Holy sh1t, and the people that show up on craigslit. Come on people.

The best is when you search for stuff in south florida, especially the miami area. Escobar will know what I'm talking about.

Hahahaha...

[Buegie]

Trying to sell a really cheap car on craigslist is one of the funniest things you can do, almost all of the responses are completely ridiculous.

They'll ask you the stupidest stuff, "I need to be in Tampa by tomorrow night, do you think the car can make it there??" Dude, how should I know, this is a $500 car...

I've actually bought and sold on craigslist quite a bit.

You have to deal locally and in cash, there are tons of scams. I have bought and sold concert/sports tickets and I sold my Xbox 360 + games as well. It helps you get around the high fees charged by places like Stubhub.

A great way to mess with someone on craigslist is to post up a very believable add for an older honda civic with decent mileage and good condition. Id say the money spot for the asking price is $1500-2000. Grab a picture off google and add the person's number. Make sure you post it in a highly populated area though.

Their phone will literally not stop ringing until you take the add down. They will easily get 200+ calls in the first couple days and have no idea what the hell is going on. Its a lot funnier if you dont tell them what you did lol

But on topic, I have bought tons of stuff on craigslist. But cash and in person is a must. Its a great way to get tons of stuff very cheap

heck yah...all my living room furniture are from craiglist..they're cheap, reasonable quality, and i dont plan to keep them after i move again..

bought a brand new (unopened box) iPod, 3rd generation 3 yrs ago, for $130, from there...

[solefald]

lol. speaking of retards, craigslist and pranks.

my gf's ex is a total retard. he was stalking her for a long-ass time, texted me threatening messages, her naked pictures, spent 2 hours walking around my old apartment complex trying to find me and kick my ass. He just banged on random doors and asked people is they knew me. The complex was 1257 apartments in 8 different buildings. haha

so anyway, his last straw was to post my phone number on craigslist m2m section.
man, did i get some calls. haha. all these dudes trying to sound all sexy and shit. it was the most hilarious thing ever.

[SteveMD]

I use Craigslist a lot, mostly for NFL tickets, concert tickets and old furniture.

I have sold a car on there.

[JayKay335i]

I sold a bunch of guitars, amps, coffee equipment, and furniture on craigs list. It got the job done. I just met people at the local mall in the parking lot and only dealt in cash and crap I could fit in my car. Carried a big knife. Only dealt shit in areas where there were tons of people around.

Bah, amateur shit.

Since Craigslist requires you to activate the ad I created a fake e-mail account using the name of a friend. I then created an ad in the M4M Casual Encounter section. In order to increase the number of replies the ad said "looking to give oral and bottom." I also made sure that I said to include penis pictures if they reply.

Next I set up the fake e-mail account to forward all the e-mail it got to his real e-mail. He got 20 e-mails within an hour from dudes talking about wanting to rail him the butt and sending them pictures of their dicks.

THAT is the best Craigslist prank.

Yeah we did something similar to the same kid that we did the car ad too. We got some gay guy from the personals section to call him about setting up a date lol

But nothing pisses people off like the car thing. I had to take the add down after two days because of the amount of people calling him. At one point he turned his phone off for 2 hours and when he turned it on, he had 78 voicemails lol

Everyone wants a cheap civic

[Kroy]

I would hate to get pranked like that. I've had good experiences buying/selling on CL so far.

[c0nstant]

you spelled misspelling wrong

[El Cheapo Loco]

I once paid $30 on CL for some bike part and sold it on ebay for $200.

Craigslist is also great for flipping cars/lawnmowers/rec. vehicles for some extra cash.

The same item will always sell for less on Clist than on Ebay
