why is it that whenever i try to sell something on craigslist, all these jews contact me and get me on the phone and then try to offer me less money than we talked about online for "cash in hand right now"

i've already had to tell 2 people on this item that i am working and do not have a crack addiction and to shove their cash up their heeb ass

it's just haggling. you should expect it. just tell them "no" and if they persist filter out their emails.

What, were they going to pay you with a credit card or something. Did you explain to them that a payment plan was not an option so "cash in hand" isn't really a bargaining chip?

then they show up with a cashier's check

yeah thats what i dont get, they stress the cash like its gonna save me from the mafia or something

I know what you mean. I always just tell them 'cash is the only method of payment I accept so being that its in your hand right now makes it no more special then the next buyers cash'

I FREAKING HATE DEALING WITH CRAIGSLIST AND I REFUSE TO DO IT.

Tww classifieds are 1000x more reliable, safer, cheaper, better.

I guess it's a big deal if you are in some kind of rush to sell a high price item and you don't want to wait on some other prospective customer to get a loan, but for a $200 love seat it's just not that big a deal.

^^with a lot of stuff i pay a guy at work 25% to do it all for me on ebay. he knows all the ins and outs of selling crap there and how to describe it and photograph it etc. pretty neat.

some high demand stuff i just do myself locally

^i really think its cause the other people think youre a crackhead. shit offends me

If that were the case maybe they should be offering you crack in hand.
