I have found and sold some great deals on Craigslist. I have dealt with friendly Craigslist users and ‘users that can only be described as “assbags”…

I saw a washing machine on craigslist the other day. It was a pretty good deal, and I needed a washing machine, so I called the lady to get more details. She was on the road, but said she’d gladly call me back in 20 minutes, when she got home.

Nearly 6 hours later, she still hadn’t returned my call, so I called her back, “Hi, I called earlier about the..” (she cuts me off) “I SAID I’D CALL YOU BACK WHEN I GOT HOME! I AM STILL AT WORK AND I WON’T BE HOME UNTIL LATER TONIGHT!!!” (hangs up phone). Apparently, she didn’t remember telling me that she’d call me back in 20 minutes. Furthermore, apparently she didn’t really want to sell her washing machine. (she never did call me back)

My point is this: if you’re too busy to reply to buyers about the ad that YOU POSTED, maybe you shouldn’t have posted it in the first place. I couldn’t care less if you sell your washing machine or not, and it’s certainly not my fault that you can’t tell time. If you post an ad, it is your responsibility to follow up on it.
