PSA: Craigslist low balling

You know its one thing to low ball me through an email, but when you say your going to pay a certain price then bait and switch when we meet you can go die in a fire.

This guy was such an idiot he offered me some bullshit price but I didn't understand him because of his thick FOB accent so I thought he was just repeating the price I listed. Then when he thought I accepted the offer he acted surprised. Holy shit why would you offer me a price that you know no one in hell would accept. Do I look like the GM dealer across the street? You already pissed me off by lying so why the hell would I be in the mood to negotiate.

Then he proceeded to make up some bullshit about other deals he got on craigslist for the same item. Dumbass, why would I believe that you are here standing in front of me trying to buy the item you supposedly already bought for less!

I don't even want to sell this thing to you, you obviously need the money to rice out your stolen 94 Acura sedan and to pay for some podunk trade school fees.

On top of that I get the Asian hierarchy prod: "So wat you ChinEse?" No idiot just because I can speak english doesn't mean I'm some 4th generation ABC.

Guess what he caved after he incrementally increased his offer by $5 about 8 times before I just started walking away.

Gotta love the Asian perspective. Start a story in the middle, develop the characters and, never cross the finish line.

I sold this guy a car CD player i wasn't using anymore, just to clean out the garage. We agreed 10 bucks, he came in with 7.50 and I just gave it to him because I wanted to get rid of it.

Jackass.
