They really need to make it mandatory there to post a phone number. I've been trying to contact several people with Sprees and parts all weekend and I never get answers on anything to my e-mails. Yet, if someone e-mails me, I respond right away since my e-mail goes right to my phone.
Kinda stupid, eh?

Craigslist Kvetches
Greetings:
I guess most CL users don't spend every moment of every day thinking eating dreaming and breathing scooters.
How can people live that way?!

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Re: Starting to dislike Craigslist
Yeah. I like Craigslist cause I've made lots of money, but the headache makes me break even.
I have an iPod Nano 5th gen on there right now and some idiot called and offered me a junk cell phone and a bag of weed, I told him to get lost.
Half the people that show interest in my stuff back out right before the deal is closed anyways.

Indeed, but I don't take anything along those means from people I don't know.
sure I realize I'm admitting a bad habit alot of people would frown upon, but hey it gets me away from everything.
In fact, someone offered my friend a half pound for his car trailer, and he don't even as little as smoke cigarettes. He really got annoyed for that one.
Anyways...

I would have bought the trailer from my friend then called the dude w/ the half and made the deal 
But lets get back on track: I personally like calling people about things on CL better because it is way easier to arrange meeting times and chat about prices, etc. However I understand those that do not put in numbers because they don't want to deal with the occasional annoying/creepy calls.
Personally I try to never give out address and other info over email so if some one emails me about an item I have up for sale I tell them to then call me or give me their number to call. In the end it just depends on preference and experiences i guess.
