Oh craigslist, you never cease to fail with the idiocy. The gall of some people though. *quick vent and story inside*

I sold some snow goggles on craigslist recently because i didn’t need them and they were just laying around.

Guy texts me asking about them, say they’re in good condition, obviously sold as used and all in all quite usable. Guy takes me at my word, send him a few pics of how nice and shiny they are (pretty shiny, microswirls from not being in the bag for a while) and how much elastic is left in the band (in short, alot).

Come to find out this guy lives like 2+ hours away. And wants them for “this weekend (now, last weekend). Requests shipping, and i don’t mind as it fits a medium flat rate. I guess the price wrong on flat rate and just charge him half (whatever, eat 5 bucks in shipping costs). Package arrives without issue, and i am done with transaction.

Dude texts me at like 11pm saying there’s a scratch and he would’ve never bought them at the price if he had seen that. My only offer is send them back for refund or don’t. He sends me pics. I can’t see a vision impending scratch. I ignore that shit, especially because already a few drinks in that evening. No further discussion all week.

Dude texts me again today asking if i got his pics. I ain’t responding this time either. Either the goggles return, or they don’t. Transaction needs zero further discussion. Especially now that he’s taken them out and spent the weekend riding with them.

What’s your silly craigslist story of the day?

“I have a fixed income”

“I’m divorced with two kids”

“Senior owned”

“I’ll be there at 3"

“I have cash” just not in hand though!

This is all just since last month.

I saw what I thought was a good rate on renting an apartment (back before I bought my own place). When I called they wanted my SSN for a back ground check, said they are too busy to show it to someone without a back ground check first. Yeah right, thanks but smells like an identity theft scam.

“Are you going to fix this leak? It leaks.” said the dude looking at pevious total loss plymouth voyager that was fifteen years old and rode hard.

“see on the back there? where it says Plymouth? that’s a french word for ‘it leaks a bit’ maybe this isn’t the car for you.”
