Trying to a buy a truck box on CL, the listing says the town. I confirm price and ask when and where I can buy it. I get a time and then just the town name. Am I supposed to park in the middle and just holler out?
You dont need to give me an address, that can be weird, I get it but maybe say Mcdonalds off the interstate or something...

I got dozens of emails, every one a sob story about how I needed to give them the car for free. So I cleaned it up and fixed it up more and listed it for $1000. Now I have people emailing in lowball offers without even looking at the car, or the stupidest questions (like how's the backseat, it's a berking FIERO!!!). The biggest head-scratchers are the people who write in wanting the car and after a ton of back-and-forth it comes out they can't afford it until the end of the month.Seriously?!?1000ish bucks is what I have to work with while I'm looking. Here's what you get: 1) Stuff that isn't selling for 1000, but has no price so that it shows up no matter what you look for. 2) Junk 3) Stuff that's priced so low you don't even have to bother clicking the link to know that something big is broken. 4)Crap 5)Overpriced crap 6) Something that might actually be worth buying, so when you message them they never respond back, and of course they didn't list any other way to contact them. 7) Something being sold by an shiny happy person who doesn't understand the first thing about what he's selling.
Up the price to $1200 or $1500 and maybe that will ditch the slackers?
Dear sleep: Why must you be such a fickle bitch?
In reply to turboswede:
Tried it, it do not.
In reply to Strizzo:
My ads got 8 pics and every detail about the car. 
I'd consider buying it, but how's the backseat? 
In reply to Grizz:
Berkeley you! 
.... Why do you have a Fiero?
I'd consider just being stuck with one worthy of a minor rant.

Seriously at least its a V6, but an Auto? Really?
My minor rant involving a Fiero would be something like:
Me said: Oh god, someone stuck me with this free Fiero. Yuck.

Not mine, it's my elderly neigbor's third car (the one's with the new Jag XF). SWMBO's tired of staring at it leaking in their driveway, so they're having me sell it. I drove it once, it was awful.

So this is the car that you're ranting about trying to sell on Craigslist?
Sounds like your rant may be misplaced.
I'd sell that pile of berkeley to the junkyard, give the neighbor the $300, and tell them "You're welcome."
In reply to Swank Force One:
I get a cut of the sale, it's in my financial interests to try and make a nickel on the POS.
(Also, the junkyard offered $100 
)

Not as much metal in those....
$100?!?!?!?!
Holy E36 M3!
My yard gave me $180 for my last parts car MX6 after i took all the lights, motor, trans, axles, and entire interior out of it.

The junk man offered $200 for the spare Yugo I have.
In reply to Swank Force One:
Plastic body, no metal in the cats, steel wheels, iron motor, no wiring, weighs nothing. It's basically a money sink for a junkyard.
That bitch weighs 2800lbs.
That'd get you $308 at my local yard. Tow it out here!
storm took out my cable modem -and- router while at work. Got a new modem, but still need a new router. Having trouble getting to most sites now
When giving a blood sample, politely decline the offer to allow the new girl to train and request someone with experience.
Ah well, they have to learn somehow. She claimed that the vein rolled on her, and now the bruising makes it look as if I took a pretty good hit on the arm.
I was told today I'm too old to be getting into bar fights.
I have a E36 M3ty friend.
I hate it when people owe me money, when I'm also dead berkeleying broke.
COMCAST! Storm came through when I was at work and wiped out my Surfboard modem and linksys router. Got a new modem from Comcast, a Ubee D3.0. Took me -hours- to get the stupid thing to work properly.
It finally kicked in when I went to twitter and it suddenly dropped me into Comcast's closed garden and wanted to unlock the modem.
Other computer lost it's ethernet card too.. gotta replace that tomorrow
I sold a truck a couple months ago. I just saw it on craigslist with a crappy set of 20's for 1k more than I sold it for.
It talked about all the sweet work done to the motor... and it kind of sounded like they just couldn't live with the quadrajet I had spent a week getting dialed in.
To my soon to be ex-employer. You people are just berkleying dumb. You hand me a pile of unknown parts and a drawing with no useable dimensions and expect me to be able to build anything? Seriously, how friggin' hard is it to put an actual dimension on a picture, so it might at least resemble what the real world knows as a blueprint? Spend much of the day chasing down parts I should already have but noone knows where they are. Idiots. Also maybe, just maybe, teach your other moronic employees to clean up after themselves. Garbage and crap all over the floor, piles of scrap steel laying around on benches, etc. I've seriously never worked in a place this crappy, ever. But they still pay me, and the paycheck is O.K., at least for now.

I used to be the "designated" stickie for phlebotomist trainees when I was donating (selling) plasma ... the supervisor claimed that my left arm ... even Stevie Wonder could hit ... though there were the occasional "oops" moment when the trainee would screw things up ... and yeah the bruise looks terrible
