Share: Hilarious Craigslist Replies

@mydaisy, sadly, I have to agree that reading seems to be a dead art.

I have also had many interactions related to Craiglist where it's clear that either reading comprehension is lacking or something else (complete lack of retention, just looking at photos, etc.) is going on. I suspect laziness may also be a factor: instead of going back and looking at the listing, more than a few people seem to think it's acceptable to ask questions that are answered by the listing info. I just point them back to the listing, but I've also found that these are typically people who don't follow through, either.

So true! I believe a lot of it IS laziness!

I listed 10, 2 week old Double Silver Laced Barnevelder chicks for sale.

Today potential buyer emailed me: Are they laying eggs yet?

Well, are they?

Perhaps, but I posted a price on CL and they can make an offer if they don't like it. But when they say "what's your lowest price" it's like, "duh! I posted the price I want to sell for and if you don't like it you can make me an offer." (Not that I've ever told them that. I try not to yell at them lol.)

My parents will buy stuff off FB marketplace, and ask if the seller will sell for say 100 bucks less then the asking price. Sometimes they get desperate, and agree to a lower price.

I started getting fiesty with someone I thought for sure was a scammer, but it wasn't.

Uh oh.
