I had to delete my post there.  I posted in for sale section and i got few people interested asking if i still have it. I replied yes i do then one try scam me saying will sent certified check blah blah i didnt bother to reply and one said her boyfriend.cheated on him and she want to get back at him by meeting up some where so i delete that. One want to talk to me over the phone i explained that i m deaf and dont talk on phone but gave my wife phone nbr  and the person never.called so thats the.foul ball.... Last one was strike 3 the person wanted to meet me up for a cup of coffee... i deleted my post guess i cant.sell my without getting harassed

Welcome to wide wide world of goofy interweb browser's , or I like to call em.....LOOKIE LOU's

Thats why I Buy parts &  sell my extra stuff on forums where I know people ...or the people I know ...know the people

[ProGrade]

I ran into the same thing, I think Craigslist is doing a crappy job of filtering it's responses to adds

[Crazymays77]

Heck ur lucky if ur post stays on there so many people flag stuff for no reason. That or they post a reply on there bitching about ur post.

dont leave number or personal email on cl    i use mine that i rarely use  and yes i get scams too but i just delete them

[old school truck dude]

Ive sold a ton of stuff on there and it usually goes pretty quick. Yup, buncha bs emails, just gotta take the good with the bad.. As for the flagging, when your post gets flagged its because HUNDREDS of people have flagged it, NOT JUST ONE GUY. Go to the forums and post to find out why it got flagged, you might be surprised at what MANY people dont like about your post.

Should I be the one to say it?


Its free! Use it or don't. Just like facebook

I know whatcha mean tho its annoying. Kinda like they won't split up the area north of the bay city.

I get the same on there but I've learned to just answer them and when I do I tell them to give me a phone number for me to call and if I get the stupid replys I just delete them.its all part of the cl experience. LOL

I just love how people want to talking u down on price before they even see the item in person. Or how no one ever shows up when they say they will

[CBakes]

I've recently gotten replies to adds asking if I still have the item, and I try to send a reply and the email addy is bogus. There are some real idiots out there wasting some real time.

He really is deaf man, he wasn't making a joke. There are a few good people on here that are also deaf.

As for CL, it reaches out to many people, some of which u wish it hadn't. But, what can ya do?

They aint wastin time, theyre phishing for valid email addresses! Thats part of the scam, they see how much info they can collect. Every time they email ya they have a different return address and ask a different question!
