When you read....

... No Trades on a craigslist ad, do you automatically send a trade offer?

I've had the vette up for sale on CL for a little while, but with spring coming and tax checks arriving I've been getting more and more interest. I made it plain and simple in my original ad that I was selling and not trading.

Yet, this weekend alone, I got offered a camper, a convertible Fox Body, a camaro, PA equipment and a lifted 4x4 truck. SEriously? Which part of "NO TRADES" in the title is hard to understand? Jeebus....

so here's the new ad: http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/3655716154.html

I hope it's simple enough to these friggin mouth breathers.

In reply to Bobzilla:

Want a Ranger?

and I just got a text asking to trade for a blazer.....

Man I had to resist the urge SO MUCH to text you a trade offer. Lawl, great ad.

I flagged it for "best of" just for this:

"Apparently, "No Trades" on craigslist means "send me ridiculous trade offers". So let me try this in a different way:

I don't want your E36 M3, I don't want another car, I don't want a camper, I don't want $30k of audio PA equipment, I don't want a lifted 4x4. I want to SELL this car. No Trades means just that... No. Trades. PLEASE, for the love of god, stop sending me trade offers. "

Good stuff.

LMAO. Get used to it. America is illiterate.

You should write that you want rediculous things for trade only. Such as: "Will only trade for World War 1 tank, a date with Christy Turlington, 6 tons of soda can tabs, or 4000 acres of moon land rights." But also add what you don't want, and list everything people have offered so far.

Yes! Will only trade for Deuce ½. Perfect. But I'd actually take the Deuce ½.

Sell the Camper, call me back.

Sell the Foxbody, call me back.

Sell the camaro, call me back.

I just emailed him. LOL Sorry Bobzilla. I just had to.

Trade for 55 $100 dollar bills?

Man if you were selling this in the summer, I would be pretty interested. But of course, I can't exactly buy cars when I am in a different country.

Unfortunately, the engine build exceeds what's legal for BSP... so unfortunately, (or, really, fortunately) I'm not interested.

I hate you guys so much right now.

Wanna trade for the Berzerkeley?

LMMFAO!!! SOrrY bRO.

I knew I would open myself up to stupidity and fun from y'all... it's the serious ones that annoy the E36 M3 out of me.

I'm about to just toss this bitch on eBay and let it go.

already ? you just got it ...

Firewood. I can't tell you how many times I've been offered firewood for trade. For guitars, for motorcycles...always firewood.

You forgot to include that I offered you a 351W in trade..

The serious ones are probably trolling you too. When you post an ad like that you were begging to be trolled, the question is if you'll get less trolls than doofuses.
