Craigslist has a ton of morons buying and selling. I've always just figured that's what you have to deal with when you deal with the public.
But just try and sell something on Facebook. On any one of several sites. There is a site called Marketplace. And I'm not sure but I think that is a compilation of several sites.
I had an item on Craigslist for a week or two. I got like one response. I put the same item on FB and withing a couple of days there was about a dozen responses.
I though wow this is awesome. This must be the way to go.
But then when I started responding to the people. It turns out that almost every one of them was a F**KING IDIOT!!
Most had replied with the supplied phrase... "I am interested in this item" So I give them my tel number and NEVER hear from them again.
Two are three of them sent me a picture of some other sellers item asking me questions about it?? One of them who I told I don't have that item for sale said oops duh sorry, Only to do the exact same thing the next day
One lady called me at 7 AM to tell me she was getting a draw or a money order and that she needed to pay something else but bla bla bla...And then finally said she would call back in a while... never to be heard from again.
I can't explain this but I think it has something to do with people instantly responding who didn't really think through what they wanted.
Kind of like a lot people just spout off on Facebook without giving what they say much REAL thought.
