Craigslist funny stuff
I haven't figured out the crowd on the FB selling site.

I had something on Craigslist for 2 weeks... not a single inquiry. I put it on the FB Marketplace and had over 20 inquiries in 2 hours and sold/gone in 3 hours.

Hmm. Well It might have a lot to do with what kind of item you are selling. Actually now that I think about it I know it does. Plus the price, amount of money and how good of a bargain it is would make a huge difference.

I also had lots of inquires but most were simply.. "I am interested in your item" to which I responded with my tel number. And never even got a reply.
My item was an auto part. IMO the people who use CL and look for this are more knowledgeable than the FB people who responded.

 This may have something to do with why you were successful and I was not... based on the type of item.

facebook, which is used by 71% of the online population, is dominated by women (76 percent) as opposed to men (66 percent)

From what I can tell there sure are a lot of flakes.

My item was 4 wheels that came off a Tahoe. I purchased the wheels with tires... pulled the tires off and put them on my Tahoe. Sold the wheels.

A pickup for sale from a guy in Ashland Blink

Selling this baby...we've been together for several years when I started school back in 2012. I drove him all the way from the Virginia beach, back to nashville and then made the adventure to the west coast with zero issues!
I've kept up with the maintenance since I've purchased it and the previous owner did the same! I believe I purchased it with 117,000 miles and now it's sitting at 172,222. These frontiers will last as long as you need them to as long as you give them some TLC..
it's extremely reliable! I was planning on getting a camper top for it but I decided that being exposed in the bed would be good for me.
74 in bed so perfect for yoga and ZzzzZzzz under the stars. I hate to let it go but unfortunately it's too small for me. I'm 6'3 so that's the only concern..weird but I have grown taller it appears and now spirit wants me to get something larger for my spine.
I have a friend selling me her Honda in a few days...I will use this money to purchase it. Reach out quickly if you have the money & serious!
This truck is truly blessed...hate to see it go but I know it's for the best and a young family or person would really appreciate. Shoot me a text and I'll send you more pictures.


Much love & light CL! Bless

So, I wonder how that's working out for him?  I don't blame people for wanting a pic.  Recently though, I sold something on CL and the buyer was lost and texted me to do something on the phone to show where I am so she could see it. Thing is, I don't do much online anything from my phone. Most people have all the buttons and bells of technology figured out and use them.

No of course not. Most of the people I deal with can text me a pic when asked. But this guy seems vet annoyed that people are asking when he should expect people to ask.

I'm not sure what exactly he or she wanted. If you don't mind people coming to your house just put the address in the map section on Craigslist.
If someone can't find me I just tell them to call when they get close. Even using a GPS people get about 200 yards from my house and then I guess the GPD says they have arrived LOL.
I guess I could have that updated or something.

Other than the "It will need a fuel pump" part it could be a good deal for someone. I wonder how he knows that? Plus a fuel pump is no easy task because it's in the gas tank.

I saw a car for sale for 400 bucks. It had 118,000 miles and had a 5.0 or a 302 ford engine. That would have been with an electronic ignition and it was fuel injected.
So anyway I noticed it because of the engine.

A couple days later I saw an add for the same care for the same price. This guy bought the car. It was delivered to his apt complex. I guess he never gave the guy a test drive because he says the only gear that works is reverse.
Poor guy I felt sorry for him. He and his wife are disabled. I called him and gave him the best advice I could on how to trouble shoot the problem etc.

It sounds like he was ripped off to me but I have no idea how anyone could make a bad automatic tranny run temporally.

Free FIREWOOD??! I think free BRUSH PILE is a tad more accurate.

Yeah some people think the free section is the alternative to the dump.
