[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 1640483, member: 5110"] I'm okay with someone mentioning no tire-kickers, cash only, no trades, no scams, etc. But when the rant about their preferred selling process is longer and more detailed than the item they're selling, I just figure this is some ******* I don't care to deal with. I've never went to look at something off craigslist without cash in hand and a plan to bring it home if I like it. I don't go to "shop" and see if it's something I want [I]when[/I] I can afford it. But I've walked away from a few deals. Usually it's because the condition is not close to how it was described, sometime during my drive over the title was lost and they promise to mail it, the serial numbers have been removed and it's an obvious color change repaint (trailers), etc. I've also sold plenty of stuff on craigslist. And all I can tell you is you're just going to run into "those" people. I'll be totally honest with you Joe... the biggest problem I can see with you selling an item for maybe a couple of thousand dollars is if you're meeting them at your house. I'd be pretty aggressive with a buying offer in a neighborhood like yours too especially if your garage doors are open and I see Corvettes and Harleys lined up everywhere. The more money someone has, the more likely they'll let that last few hundred go just so they don't have to deal with a series of poor bums like myself showing up to their estate. [/QUOTE]
