Craigslist annoyance?

Question

Is anyone else really annoyed by people who post things in the wanted section that want good things for free? There is someone asking for a working big screen TV...for free, no offer of money whatsoever.

I'm trying to sell my nice, well taken care of furniture and am responding to people's wanted ads...they email me back and they say "is it for free?"

I think I'd rather burn my possessions than give them to someone who somehow can afford internet and is also complaining about how poor they are and how they need that big screen TV.

Answer 1

yeah that is what goes with listing stuff for free on cl but just put your price in your ad and say this is cash only nad the price is firm, it cost me money to buy this stuff. and that stops it. there is alot of scam and thats why  ialso put local buyers will not ship.

Answer 2

yeah, that is pretty annoying. I'm sure you have a price listed in the ad. so i have no advice for this.

Answer 3

omg!

i hate that!

what also annoys me is how people post buy adds and give oyu their phone number and tell you to ask for "peeyubes" or "Va Ginah"
