I would have stopped right there. Two things I make very clear on CL; I don't hold and I don't deliver. If you cannot afford to come and get the item you want to buy then you cannot afford to buy it. if she has makeup and some old clothes she can make a costume. I have learned that folks who want deliveries are either lazy or want to get you out and lowball you thinking that you will take it since you already came all the way out.

Add states condition and "I really don't know much about the durability of the machine. I didn't use it. I did plug it in and it does turn on and make noise. However it doesn't have string or thread and I do not know how to work it." It is used and not knowing much about it I have it for $10

Them" Hello,

Can you please advise if you still have this available? Does it work? I am looking for a cheap alternative to buying Halloween costumes but need a sewing machine, Will this get the job done?

Me: I really don't know much about the durability of the machine. I didn't use it. I did plug it in and it does turn on and make noise. However it doesn't have string or thread and I do not know how to work it. notice I just copied what was in the add.

Them: OK when can you bring to it me?

Me: Unless you are in (my town) i can not deliver it as it would cost me more in gas than it is worth.

Them: Well if you can't bring it to me my kids will go without costumes this year.


WTF!!! My friends. WTF!!!!

Me being the young cocky kid that I am, I would of been like that sucks. I'm sorry I'm still not bringing it to you.

I *Facepalmed* as soon as i read this.... im part of this group on FB Called Autojiji. Same as Kijiji but a FB group. Anyways people always list cars and say NO TRADES or Trades ONLY for _______!

Always always ALWAYS get guys. Trade for my truck/car? Trade for my sled/dirtbike? I startes commenting " #peoplewhodontread " they just reply "huh?" Usually i post back "Yup! Just what i thought!"

Always get 10+ likes so obviously others think the same way. I love calling out people who are too **** lazy to read the friggin ad. Tell me im wrong in doing that but i cant resist it lol

This week Craigslist ad says buying insulated wire 2.00 a pound. Same day service. I replied. So couple of days go by get no reply.

DS- You hadn't posted for while. Thought you might be cooling your heels in the pokey over the weekend because of your various dumpster diving exploits. Nice to hear from you again!

Your lady wanting to pay you more than what you were asking and get into your apt. sort of reminds me of when I was selling a rifle back during the Clinton years. They had tried to pass the anti- "assault weapons" ban and AR-15s were a hot item (as they've been in the recent past again). Anyway, the bro was down in AZ and while talking one day he mentioned how high priced AR-15s were there, about $300 or more than what they were going for here. Against my better judgement, I bought one here but before I could get down to AZ with it, the Repubs with their "contract with America" won that Nov. (1994) and the gun hysteria sort of tappered down again. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with this AR (I already had a Ruger Mini-14 which basically has the same capability but doesn't look as mean or is as well known).

So, I advertised the AR in the paper for what I paid for it. Only had 1 guy ever call on it and he stopped over after we arranged a time. He was looking over the rifle and we were talking and he asked me why I wanted to sell it. I said because I have a Mini-14 and really didn't need 2 rifles that were basically the same.

"How much ammo do you have for these rifles?", he asks me.

Instant red flags went off in my head. Why would a guy who was interested in buying my rifle care how much ammo I had in the house? I didn't bite and said that the .223 round was a common cartridge and he could buy what he wanted at any gun store. That sort of shifted the conversation. I certainly didn't tell him how many 30-round mags I had for the Mini. He left and I never heard from him again. I may be a bit paranoid but I would have bet anyone that day a $20 steak that this guy was BATF checking me out. Pretty spooky...

Yes it is funny but the truth is that law enforcement uses CL all the time. There is no doubt in my mind that the lady wanted to get into Mr. Scrapple's apartment to have a look around hoping for evidence or some sort of lead/probable cause for a warrant.
