Well said Ferm. I never want to insult anyone or embarass myself with an offer. A lot of people don't have a clue much less any money but like to waste other peoples time it seems. I love it when they call and havent even seen the item and ask your lowest price over the phone. I usually add 20 percent to my asking price in the ad. After a few seconds of crickets chirping they act all confused when I tell them I'll take $120 for something listed at $100. Y'all should try it, makes it worth dealing with the morons. About 80 percent are low ballers/dreamers/idiots, but the other 20 percent are actually pretty cool people I've found. I've actually put together a few multiple item deals with people I've met after I know what their in the market for. I'll run craigslist hard for a month or so selling stuff then I have to take a break for a while. Answering the phone and explaining to almost every caller every detail of the item for sale gets old especially when I list the details in the ad. Not to mention the texts you get when your ad clearly states NO TEXTS!!!
