The reasons craigslist sucks

[sewlow]

Came across a cool BBQ on C/L made out if a beer keg. A nice portable size. Looked to be very well done.
Me. "Still available?"
"yup"
"Where ya located?"
"Downtown." (That tells me a lot. Yeesh!)
"What's a good time to meet & look?"
"Whenever."
"Tonight, 7-8 pm?"
"Nope."
"Tomorrow?"
"Nope."
"How about on the weekend?"
"Nope."
Pfffft! Later dude!
A month later, it's still being advertised!

Downtown

For most places that isn't a big deal, where you live, what in the hell does that mean?

Lol! No kidding! Downtown Vancouver = 1 freakin' million people!

Am I an ass hole for asking people selling stuff at ridiculous prices if they will take trade on chickens and chicken feed? (I dont really have chickens ) but when someone posts a 89 cavalier with 350k miles and asks $4000...

I am the ass hole that offers way under for cash in person. I have a backpack or plastic grocery sack full of cash that I stack in 20's, 10's, 5's and ones. I dump the backpack or grocery sack on the hood of the car and ask them if they will take that for it. Cash is king, the ones on the bottom make a big stack with $20 bills on top. I have about a 50 percent ratio of knocking big money off of deals by using this trick. This is how I put myself through college. 157 cars and trucks in a three year period (95-97 pre craigslist) and I averaged $487 profit per car. I lost money on a few but made money on most.
