Craigslist sucks…for buyers

[Rick Modena]

i found this falcon on marketplace. all orig clean blue title and even got the keys with it for 1200 . i also found a rollback trailer for 2800. like anything else you have to pull the trigger right away . the lady selling the trailer had 10 people wanting to come see it. i was first in line and took it site unseen. great buy.

i dont fool with the other stuff. i end up in facebook jail every time.

Damn that is nice. Congrats!
I found a nice '72 Ford Ranchero in the Austin area in very good condition. It looks like it just needs paint, but I don't have the room or the ambition to fuck with it, so I passed on it.

I might have to temporarily get a fb account again even though I hate everything about it. Seems like CL was the best place to score deals because autotrader or ebay is like Barrett-Jackson. Ridiculous.

I use FB solely for Marketplace. It is so much better than CL.

CL sucks for sellers too. Lowballers galore.

What's really funny is the people who don't appear to want it. But want to comment on it.

Never understood the butthurt against lowballers. I just replay "Haha no way". Lets them know you already know it's worth way more. Well, it's not worth way more. But it will bring way more.

I just picked up an OBS stepside on CL, but it wasn’t easy. It also took forever to find a decent deal. Buying anything online is a long game and a crapshoot nowadays. There are too many scammers and idiots out there.

I also think there are a lot of “see it’s for sale” ads to appease wives and girlfriends.

How else do you buy it, except for online? The stealership is just looking to bend you over. I guess you could always just go door to door, asking when you see something you like. I've known people that would do it. "Hey you wanna sell your truck?"

hell ya got to negotiate . i went thru this on mp. some guy had an old 54 ford 350 setting on the frame . no axles just the cab/frame . all i wanted was the frame for the vin. asking 1500 . asked him what he could do on it no response. offered 500 and he got all butt hurt cussing me out and removed it. i might have gone 800 but a 1ton is pretty much useless unless wanting parts .

i stopped the door knocking about old cars last time i had a gun drawn on me. sob sent his dog after me too.

Craigslist sucks because you have to pay to post car ads

Double post.

Same here. Haven't used Book Face in 8 years until recently using Marketplace. I would prefer a different option.

I still use CL. It's a crapshoot either way.

It's five whole bucks on cars and MC's and it knocked the scammers in the dirt.

Not quite 100% effective but a lot better than it used to be.
