I think I am going to go crazy

maybe it is just me (getting old) but dang.
I am looking for another truck for the ranch, $1500 range, 4WD, prefer standard trans. so I hit craigslist and find 3 posibilitys, e mail them as most don't have a phone number and I can track the deal with e mail. only one e mails me back with no info that I asked about and said if I wanted pics he could text them to my phone?????? do you think I am going to buy a truck from some fuzzy pic on a 2 inch screen?
I reply to him to text them to my e mail (I know this does work because I have done it) never heard back from him.

I have posted several collector cars on craigslist for my close friend in Hawthorne, NV. You can't believe some of the calls he gets. A person could write the stupid people awards from these calls. So nothing surprises me about craigslist. Bart your a normal person in an unreal world.

Thanks Craig, I have finnaly started to learn some thing about craigs list like when using the search function most people can't spell and don't use any spell check! most havent figured out for instance that John Deere has an E at the end of DEERE
so knowing this the search is limited.

here is a good example 16 words to sell a truck? this isn't print, you don't pay per word to advertise! why not give some info?

looks like it might be a good deal if it has a standard trans. I might have to e mail them.
Thanks Bill

that is a good looking truck, I can't geet them to spend that much for a feed truck though, whatever they get it will be mangled in about 2 years.

yeah, no crap!! you spend all that time taking the picture, powering up your computer, downloading the picture, navigating the website and with several clicks, creating an ad. then you have encription and logging in to an email and confirming, and after several steps, finally have your ad up on the internet but you only spend about 30 seconds in the detail of the truck? wtf?

My two biggest pet peeves about Craigslist:

1) People who sell the thing they're advertising but forget to remove the ad.

2) People who offer something for $1.00 because it needs some work, then wait until the 4th email to let you know that they really want $100, and that the $1.00 is just to get you to ask about it. Jackarse!

2.5) I second the spelling mistakes! If you're selling a John Deere tractor, and you have owned that John Deere tractor, and used that John Deere tractor, shouldn't you then know that the damn thing says D E E R E on it and be able to type that?! People are idiots.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath. Let it out. Still not ok, but ... I'll live.
