sure it’s not cars (today) but it’s all the same BS

worst part is, I cant just call this guy a dummy (yet) because I want that cheap light!

please discuss below how CL is stupid and you hate people

[UPDATE]

just called again and spoke to the most delightful lady named Joan (despite the ad saying to contact Ted...) who agreed to meet on my side of town because she didn’t want to inconvenience me, and is meeting me literally a block from my house... so...

BUT CRAIGSLIST STILL SUCKS!!!

It doesn’t say *not* to text though

well, he did say “Please call”

But if you’re going to request calls, I’d hope you at least answer the phone.

or call back in the 2 hours since I left a voicemail?

especially since the text got immediate reply

It’s craigslist. Don’t expect too much.

You called AFTER you texted. He probably saw your number and was like “Fuck this illiterate bastid!”

It was implied?

Or to snaptchat, or to instagram, or to contact on facebook, or to sext, or to mail a letter, or to send a pigeon, or to etc etc etc. If you have to create a list of “Do Not’s” every time, stuff gets really lengthy as opposed to just suggesting the one method that actually works well.

his text ASKED me to call.

but well, I mean, I have him saved in my phone as “DO NOT EMAIL” CL GUY

This is how dude guy filters out the scammers. You didn’t call first so you’re not serious.

Call him from another number.

I did. have since called him from my office and left a voicemail from there too.

You messed up the order of things. You’re supposed to call and leave a very detailed voicemail that they delete/ignore and text you asking why you called. Now that you’ve texted them first, all they have left to annoy you with is never returning your call.

Sorry Bro he sold it already.

sold it to the other me who called from my office phone!

probably.

or at the very least “I’ve had a LOT of interest on this, so I wont negotiate”

Too bad I just threw a 3-light bathroom fixture out, or you could’ve had it for free

Sorry M8

BAITED.

I have a ton of contacts I keep forgetting to delete in my phone with names like “Jon dashboard” or more recently “Rich hood IL”

This is why I need a burner phone.

Text 1: How much will you take?

Text 2: What is the metal?

Text 3: Are the shades frosted?

Text 4: How many lights are there? Do you have extra?

Text 5: How long is the fixture?

Text 6: How tall is it?

Text 7: Are the shades crooked?

Text 8: Do you have an email address?

Text 9: I tried calling but you didn’t answer.

I use the “burner” app for all craigslist communication. It’s great as there are a lot of psychos out there.

I cant stop wondering, what makes you look at bathroom lights on CL? What makes you actually contact the guy about those lights? Are they not for sale at Bad, Bath and Beyond or something? Is the price difference so enormous that you’d rather deal with CL bs for a bunch of bathroom lights?

I need answers!!

MonkeePuzzle > DutchieDC2R 09/28/2017 at 15:47

sure, price.

such an arrangement new from the bad bath would be in the $70 range.

less money spent on bathroom lights is more money spent on my car! (ok, lets be honest, it’s more money spent on some other component of my basement renovation)

please tell me this is car related :)

You gonna put those lights on your Subaru

I sold about 200 glass blocks at $1 each. Not all same people, but that was 10-50 at a time.
