CRAIGSLIST: Dumb stuff callers say when answering your listing

[RattlesnakeRidgeWV]

I have two main issues with craigslist sales, half the people who call you never show up after you spend a half hour talking to them and giving them directions. Then they all want to play Monte Hall lets make a deal regardless of the price you have posted.

Also, Never list Black Australorp Chicks and SLW chicks on craigslist. The responses I got were unbelievable and almost frightening.
" I see you are into the same kind of girls as me" I received no less than 2 dozen porno emails and messages!!!

I've gotten the "oh you're selling chickens? I'll take all your roosters" hmmmm....wonder what your intentions are

maybe they want to eat them but cock fighting is WAY to common in my area to even take a chance.

Thats why i only sell game breeds at large shows or people i know personally.

Ya I try not to sell more than one rooster at a time unless they are buying a bunch of hens with them as well. Rarely do people with good intentions just want to buy a bunch of roosters, and if they want to eat them just tell me I have nothing against it lol it's better than fighting them thats for sure.

There already is a Craigslist thread, it's called "craigslist you amuse me so".

I advertise my rental properties on Craigslist. I get the run of the mill idiots who call and ask, "Uh, how many bedroom does it have?" despite the post headline clearly stating the bedroom count. My all time favorite though is, "Do you provide furniture?"

Does this look like the Mariott friends? Clearly you have found CL. They have a furniture section. "But I don't have a truck, how will I move it?"

Facepalm! "Come to think of it, the place is already rented. Best of luck finding a place."

You think asking about furniture is dumb? how long have you been in the rental gig? In my area there are many apartments and houses that come fully furnished and some partially furnished, but usually they are listed as such, so that is not a dumb question at all....

This is awesome - what a great ten minutes of solid laughter this morning! I totally despise CL.

I don't know Craigslist isn't always bad.
I got for free some old wooden windows i was going to make a green house out of which still hasn't happened. But i made a great craft for a friend with. of course the photo is upside down.......It says "when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. Then i had a brass plaque engraved.

But then again on Craig's list i had someone ask if i would take a check that wanted to buy eggs that i listed for $4.......... I've gotten much sillier then that, but that was this weeks sillies.

Here is a good one for this week.
I have cream legbars for sale:
Roo chicks $5,
hen chicks $35,
sexed pairs $35,

This is what I get:
"Interested in buying at least 4 pair of ur chicks lease call me xxxxxxxxxxxx and ther are $5 right?cuz my friend wants some too.thank you.I can't call you cuz I have just local calling and I'm not able to reach you.sorry for the incovenience "

Like an idiot I called. Yes she wanted pairs for $5. And we both knew she was playing dumb. Total waste of time.

I went to buy my boyfriend an iPhone for his birthday so I posted a wanted ad on Craigslist and one person texted me, and said they could sell me their iPhone 4S. When I asked how much they started saying they are able to get the iPhone 5 upgrade over and over. Eventually I have up.
