Craigslist

>Post car for sale 20% off book value
>Few idiots call
>Arrive
>Oh no I didn't read it was a manual
Title/Description/Photo shows manual
>Finally, someone who wants it comes by
>Tell me they will pickup tomorrow (today)
>I already call bluff
>The mad man actually calls
>"On my way"
>an hour later
>"Sorry had to pickup groceries"
>Three hours later
>"Had to get gas"
>Hour later
>Not picking up

Doesn't even have the balls to tell me he doesn't want it anymore. What the fuck is with people on Craigslist being literal retards?

>inb4 you should have used AutoTrader
site is a scam, haven't received a single message/call from anyone.

Maybe nobody wants your car.

take that back

Craigslist can be a hit or miss.

I have 2 nice stories to share.

Driving back home with dad

>goy who bought the car calls me
>user where did you leave the keys?
>Fuck I have them
>Laughs and says he will wait for them
>Spaghettis falling out of pocket uncontrollably


I was able to get my Jetta sold and got the Celica... But the time came to sell the Celica a year later because I bought a 3000gt.

That's another cl story...

Continue??

Pic related, the Celica I bought on the right.

>post a part on CL for computers
>for $10 which is 15 lower than anywhere you can buy it online
>get a reply hey man will you take $5

I'm honestly tempted to tell him yes then have him come to meet me somewhere where I'll have a sign set up saying 'go fuck yourself'

unreleated
>post hd598s to craigslist for $75
>nobody responds for like a month
>first person responds, "ill give you a bulletproof vest for it"

Sorry user, but it might be the case. What car is it?

Jeep :(

it's probably true

I posted a couch I thought no one would want for free on CL. it was in ok condition and I got 100 replies in an hour. took some ladies offer to buy it and profited

post the ad and I'll critique it. maybe just a screen cap of text idk

Craigslist is becoming almost unusable in my area because of the number of fucktards on it now. I gave up trying to buy anything off of it years ago, and my experiences trying to sell flip cars on it have led me to pretty much give up on using it to sell anything either.

last 2 flip cars I moved, I got sold by literally parking them in the back of a walmart parking lot with a for sale sign in the window

Ah, Well good luck trying to sell it. I mean that in a good way, not a dick way.

Holy fuck boys

proceed?

thanks

Hue.
I lived in a small college town and there were these two guys that had ural bikes completely dressed up as Afrika Korps and a more generic Olive Wehrmacht R75, complete with nazi regalia. They used to put around town in uniform.

Pic related, but it's the smaller r12.

I'm about to buy my first car off of Craigslist, anyone have any tips besides safety stuff?

Bring a jet ski for trade

. There's a reason sellers on CL are dicks, it's because the buyers have an average iq of 60.

Same story for everything I sell on craigslist these days. Was not like this at all 10 years ago, it was amazing, people would show 100% of the time, on time, and rarely haggle.

Holy fuck I know right?

People think Craigslist is fucking eBay where they can bid on all the shit they want then pay for what they want even though they won the FUCKING auction.

Use this shit or i'll spam your digits on every gay pHub comment section

Ironically I had a way easier time selling a car on eBay than I did on Craigslist. Took me a week or two compared to the month or two I spent on Craigslist.

I had a guy come get my vr4 and drive it back to his state. he literally flew 700 miles for it. it was in decent shape and the price was ok, but not worth flying out to buy. anyway, I guess he's happy. not a single craigslister came out. a week on autotrader and it was gone.

you want to sell a beater? craigslist
you want to sell a decent car? autotrader

dude that's awesome. i would have taken him up on that

Fuck ebay. I sold a motorbike on there and had the guy turn up and bitch about how the damage wasnt shown in the pictures so he didnt want it. People are too stupid to read descriptions carefully, zoom in on pictures and ask fucking questions over the phone.

>go to cl looking for couches
>more I KNOWS WHATS I'S GOTS than cl autos because people think the $4000 they paid at some chain furniture store is really what that shit is worth
>go to goodwill
>$70 for the biggest fucking sectional I've ever seen
>even has a pullout bed
>don't even care if someone died on it because ayy I have a steam cleaner

And now something about cars
>looking for a clean meme-ata that isn't at a retarded markup in California
>F5 for months
>countless false starts with dipshit sellers "oh btw str8 piped and salvage title yea I listed it as clean cause it's fresh as fukkkk tho"
>at the brink of madness when something clean, maintained and barely overpriced is posted
>jump on that shit and text at lightspeed
>lady selling her ex-husband's weekend car without telling him lmao
>several people have already written her before me
>tells me I'm next if they flake
>lose hope again
>get the text a few days later asking if I wanna come see the car
>hot damn it's a miracle
>car is mechanically sound and the paint is good
>all dudes who texted first were mexicans
>some flaked on coming to see it
>one was trying to close a deal but was sketchy about money and wanted to do partial payments
>lady was considering it but said fuck him because "I looked like I'd take care of it instead of taking it across the border to scrap it"
>even got the price dropped by $400 because I had a wad of cash and she was already sick of craigslist "people"
Thank you based cl retards

I was selling my PC recently for $500 and I got a message from some spic saying "$380 pick up tonight"

I know im not the only one that gets "$300 CASH"

>CASH
>CA$H
>KASH

Like you were going to pay me in Hungarian Goulash in the first place
gawd

Would you consider a straight across trade for [insert useless garbage]?

I'M TRYING TO OFFLOAD CRAP NOT REPLACE IT WITH MORE CRAP

Are niggers the anti-spics on CL?
>Be me a few months ago
>see CL ad for a PC
>newer i7, 16 GB DDR3, newer Radeon GPU, 27" 1080p monitor
>meet the guy
>fuck, he's black
>computer is mint though
>was asking $800 on CL
>would cost about $1000 on pcpartpicker
>get him to sell it for $400
It was probably stolen, but whatever. It works great.

Also, he had an Accord he said he was going to stance with the PC money.

Fuck I was planning on selling my car on craigslist but this thread is making me second guess that. It's a 2 year old vehicle worth about 18k. I'm worried about mexicans showing up, taking it for a test drive then offering 5k. I'd rather let a dealer fuck me in the ass than deal with that.

>taking it for a test drive then offering 5k
you're lucky if they don't shoot you and take it to the chop shop

Do you have gumtree in the us? Maybe try that? Its like a better craigslist.
