Craigslist noob, looking for help.

Good thread for me since I'm about to attempt to sell my motorcycle on craigslist and have never used it either.

What's the proper term for resurrecting your own dead thread? Autonecromancy postification?

That sounds about right. Heck, I'm all about self-necrofication. I mean if I were dead, I'd be all over my own corpse like a zombie on brains.

Holy crap, brutal! A typo like that for 2 whole years. Time to go home and self-flagellate as repentance.

When I bought a car at CL, the seller requires bank check, and on the date of the sales, he made sure I went with him to the bank and the check is deposited before giving me the key.

That sounds reasonable. There is a bulletin board at my condo, so I will probably post it there first (just thought of it this morning on the way out) but if that does not work out, I will post it on CL with those reequirements. Thanks.

I prefer to sell stuff to people who I don't know (and don't live next door to me) because I don't want them coming back to me if/when it breaks... not that you're selling something that would break, but with electronics you can never tell when it might die.

...and going back to the motorcycle thing. Someone at work mentioned that someone else was looking for a bike. I told him I didn't want to be the one to sell the noob a bike and then he crashes it into a wall or something.

Know what I mean?

Well when I sell the TV it will still have a 2 year warranty on it, so I'm not really worried about that. Good point though.

Agreed with Scarpozzi. Besides, about the only people you can trust when going through Craigslist are the one-liner, plain-talking emails. The ones you get that sound all proper with multiple sentences and use the word advert are typically the ones that you avoid.

I was selling something by being descriptive and honest about its history... it came out to 3 paragraphs (2 short) and it was flagged for removal. I think that was why. So stupid.

Cash in any amount is okay. You just need to 1) check that the bills are legit and 2) count the money

I'm surprised more muggings don't occur because the seller knows the buyer will be carrying a wad of cash on them.
