dude dont even get me started on craigslist, how come when you sell something for CHEAP, you still get these kids asking for a deal? what kind of cardboard box are they living in? i put up my 2 week old xbox 360 slim 4GB for $120, and i have a couple of kids asking to get it for $100. same with the other stuff i put up for sale.

and thats for just selling stuff, dont u get annoyed when youre looking for a job and you see job titles asking for females and dont say anything about males? that really pisses me off. then sometimes you get the occasional idiot who doesnt know how to give directions to meet up, who also doesnt have a cellphone, and you both waste eachothers time meeting up. dont u guys really hate the people on this website?

I wouldn't pay more than $100 for it either. It's used. Do I have any way of verifying that you, as the seller, are being truthful about the two-week old claim? Why would you be selling so soon after getting it? What's wrong with it?

Why don't you return it instead of selling it if it's only 2 weeks old...?

Then tell them the price is firm and be done. They can take it or leave it.

No fuss, no room to complain, and no wasted time.

It does have a bad reputation and for good reason much of the time. Lots of scammers and creeps. But they make it interesting. I read our local craigslist all the time to laugh at the gross and creepy personal ads. And I did find a legitimate job off craigslist once so it's not all bad.

Just ignore the people who lowball. I sold a 40" Sharp Aquos on there a few weeks ago and people were offering me $100 for it. They obviously were hitting the crack or something.

Think of Craigslist as a Flea Market, even if you have th lowest price in the state some yahoo is going to try and work you.

What!? Hell no! Two days ago I haggled a hybrid bike from $100 to $70. You need to say in your post the price is firm otherwise they'll think you're just trying to get rid of it. Oh, and the going price for Xbox 360's in my town is $120, but you usually see it bundled with a bunch of games, controllers, headsets, etc. Are you just selling the console? Don't ever blame Craig!

I didn't know what craigstlist was til I watched Bored To Death. So no I don't hate it because a) I don't use it, b) I wouldn't ever use it because it sounds like a load of crap to me.

I've had many laughs at some of the people trying to whore themselves out on that thing. The pictures are also great and filled with detail.

Never used it before, but I know that it provided an old friend of mine with some varied job opportunities, and even got one of my family members a steady line of work as well! I'm not saying the site itself is without its flaws, but then again, it seems more of the users doing than it is the actual site that's to blame.

The Job posting section is great. At least in my area. I've found some great jobs on there. I'm currently working for a company I found on Craigslist.

How can you know something is "a load of crap} if you never used it?

I've always been scared of Craigslist I don't want a total weirdo coming to my house and I sure as hell don't want going to their's, and if I buy something like an electronic/car I need to see it work or inspect it in person.
