Bizarre Craigslist interaction

[FloorCandy]

I thought you guys might get a laugh from this. Yesterday I received an email reply thru craigslist about some hens I’m selling, it said only, “distance to dingmans in pa” that’s it. I googled dingmans pa and it seems to be dingmans ferry probably so I replied it seems to be several hours away, and got a reply that simply said “2”.

No further emails. No idea if they’re expecting a reply or what that reply would even be haha. I just said thank you.

Haha! I had a craigslist experience funny too! I asked if they had any more of the chicks they had shown available, and then they said what? So I answered that I saw an ad online for chicks this number was selling, and they asked me if I wanted chicks (women) or chicks (chickens) !!

So you wear a big trench coat with 2 hens tucked inside and hang out at Dingmans ferry waiting for a random person to show up?

Great idea! If I leave now I can probably get there in time to find a nice dangerous corner to stand on in the dark hahaha!

There are some weird people out there. I had some guy call me in the middle of the night and wouldn't believe that he had the wrong number. I stopped answering after the 2nd call, and this is what followed:

I was selling a bunch of roosters on Craigslist for "free". NO ONE wanted them. So I charged $5 for them all and had several calls.

Once they got here I told them they could keep their 5 bucks.

I had a lady once pick up some chicks that I was selling straight run, all 7 for $10. They were mixed breed, off heat. Just needed to move them out. When she got home she texted me that I charged too much and how difficult things were for her financially.
I sent her a text asking for her address so I could mail her back the $10.
She then accused me of trying to stalk her!
I did not respond to this and thankfully never heard from her again.
People are crazy, that is for sure.
Always use exteme caution when dealing with anyone on Craigslist!

Not on CL but FB marketplace. Had somebody ask me if the price was firm on an item I was giving away for free. Then wanted me to deliver it in the next state over 6 hours away.

I had a woman contact me once about some pigeons I had. She was over 4+ hours away and wanted me to drive them to her. I was asking $20. Lady I'm not driving halfway across the state for $20!

Craigslist is wild.

 

[FloorCandy]

Don't do it.

Haha, I would never drive 2+ hours to make $30.
