    Craigslist fun

    I thought you guys would like this.

    So I have this add on craigslist -

    I am selling a set of 4 GMC Wheels. I took them off our 2011 Yukon XL Denali. These wheels only have ~25,000 miles on them and were only used in the summer. Never hit a curb with them. They have no scratches to polished or painted part.

    The tread on the tires still has thousands of miles left on them.
    The tires are Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza.
    P285/45R22 110H M+S

    All Sales Final. Cash or bank certified check only.


    I received this email inquiring about the wheels this morning.

    what day did you post this? do you stil have it? what cell # can i reach you? i will like to talk to you on phone for fast & better communication regarding this item, kindly drop ya cell contact to whatchamind@gmail.com, will call you today once i received your cell #, are you pretty firm with your price or you are willing to take off some $ please get back to me at my mail now.

    I replied to the email providing my cell phone number.
    This is the reply I got back after providing my cell phone number.

    My name is Lt Barry Joe . I am an OF-2 Naval officer, which makes it very hard for me to make phone calls. I will not be able to come your way to view it but I have a hauler who will come for the pickup after payment had been cleared so please get back to me with your home address, asking price, cell number and paypal email because i will be making the payment via PayPal as that is the only payment option I can access from here I hope you understand. if you don't have a PayPal account yet you can log on to www.paypal.com for simple sign up

    LOL can you say contradiction.
    So I replied with this -
    Sorry Lt. Barry Joe I only deal in cash or certified check. If you want to deal in cash or certified check I can meet your "hauler" at my bank and when the certified check clears the wheels are yours.


    For some reason I have not heard back from Lt. Barry Joe. The man with 2 first names.
    I love the BS that you find craigslist.

        That sums up the whole "Love / Hate" relationship I have with C/L.

        I've been putting the following paragraph at the bottom of my listings and it seems to keep the "Barry Joes" away.

        Please e-mail with inquiries only about the truck. I do not need your excess Nigerian funds for helping out with your family's secret financial transactions. I do not need a girlfriend, diet pills, or ED remedies. I do not need your old car in trade, or your motorcycle, or your home-built ultra-light airplane, (used once, minor damage). Yes, I am employed, so no, I do not need you envelop -stuffing scheme or any other work-at-home ideas or products designed for getting out of debt.... Even if it only is for getting YOU out of debt. I just want to sell this Jeep, if you want to buy it, e-mail. Otherwise, go harass someone in the personals section.....

        I actually copied this from another person on this site selling his boat a couple years ago.
        The luck is gone, the brain is shot, but the liquor we still got.
