Should not have any issue finding a Harley with less than 20K miles.

No compensation. It's a risk you take when you cram houses inches from one another and pay huge dollars for your mosquito-bogg view.

I swear - I don't know if I'm just the nicest guy on CL or what, but it sure seems like most people are freakin' stupid. I've text'd 2 people (per instructions in their ads) to setup a time to check out their bikes, no response. Today (just now) , I call a guy about his 750 Katana - great price, ad says to call and doesn't mention any hours so I call the guy (11:10am). Guy answers the phone and I say Me: "Hi I'm Dave, I saw your CL ad and I'm calling about your Katana. How you doing?" Sellter (sounding annoyed): "well I just got woke up", Me: "Oh, sorry is there a better time I can call you back?" seller(sounding annoyed): "Not really I'm about to go to work" me: "Ok, well I just have a couple of questions about the bike." seller: "I just started it yesterday and rode it around the block a couple of times" me: "How are the tires? Any dry rot on the sides?" seller (sounding annoyed): "if you read the ad you know that it comes with new tires" me (I have the ad open right in front of me): "I see it says that it comes with new tires, are the tires installed on the bike?" seller (sounding like i"m asking the dumbest questions in the world): "NO, it means that tires come with the bike" me: "You know what, thanks anyway. Have a good day" It's like I can't find someone cool to give my money to. When I have an ad up, if someone messages me I respond very quickly and tell them what's going on. If someone takes the time to call me I take the call, am polite, answer their questions and try to get them to come look at whatever I'm selling. Hard to believe but that's the way its gone. If you're selling something on CL and someone takes the time to check into what you're selling, don't be a dick - treat people the way you'd want to be treated. /end rant.

I finally saw him and talked to him, I politely said that I don't car if you or your guest park in front of my house but please don't park over the curb in my yard, he grumbled and then apologized, since then they no longer park up over the curb.

Agreed with all this. Anyone who has used CL more than a few times knows what to expect. The ever popular question "what's the lowest you'll take?" and "is it still for sale?" (Then no reply) is probably never going to stop as long at teenagers are sitting in the library at school hopelessly dreaming about all the things they want to buy on there. I will say, it's pretty annoying getting that first question multiple times for the same item, I always tell them "make me an offer" to which they usually don't respond. But personally, other than dealing with that stuff that that any free listing, no account needed website will provoke, I've had many great experiences with CL. I've bought and traded and have dealt with 90% good people. Granted some of them ignorant, you just need to manage your expectations with CL. Best way to do that is to research whatever it is you're interested in, chances are 15 minutes of research will make you an expert compared to the person selling what you want. If you know exactly what it's worth, what condition it's in, ect. The person will likely see that you know your shit and pretty much let's you negotiate in your favor. If you "hate" CL then you probably are just fine with paying the premium on the things you buy from dealers or shops (because you have the money). I on the other hand, am a lower income college student who loves finding killer deals on anything I buy, I've saved so much money on some things it's ridiculous. Without CL I definitely wouldn't have afforded my bike, and I certainly wouldn't have been able to trade up to better cars like I have, I loved my last car that I traded for plus cash, and I really love my jeep that I straight up traded for. I am an advocate, but I'm not against an entertaining rant resulting from its use. [emoji4]

I've bought and sold tons of stuff on craigslist. Always be armed and have a buddy present when making a deal. Never had an issue. There are definitely flakes aplenty on both sides of the game.

I think I figured out why I love to hate this thing so much. If this makes it to market when the Aptera didn't, I will have lost all faith in humanity.

Or carve out a new deeper lake that's worthy, and dump the soil into nice new home lots on water-front canals. Waiting for conservationists to scream about the cranberry bog....

O was almost certain this was going to be about a vfr800

What are ferings? Somehow spelling seems to relate to the price.

CL people are the worst. I've sold several bikes on there and people always ask the same question: 'what's the least you'll take for it?' To which I reply 'what's the most you'll give me?' Then there's the guys that wanna trade you some car audio and a lifted ford ranger with no title and a broken axle...

Hopefully they fill it with bleach, drain, rinse, repeat before refilling it with water. Would be nice to be able to eat one of those crappie.

Is the church aware of our intentions? They seem to have a fair number of Saturday events though nothing that far out right now. http://www.newconcordchurch.org/events/index.html
