Apparently some guy with a higher priced laptop is flaming my ad saying false things.

My feedback would never hold up to this, please atoters mark him as spam.

My main question is how could I mark him as spam to get him off the site?

Incredible ...

Marked. Maybe edit your ad and give your story, show that your pics are real.

Thank you all for the fast help!

I guess there are greedy resellers in craigslist that hate to see others sell for a cheaper price!

Be careful. That guy might pose as an interested buyer, get your info, and create some mischief.

Thanks again and yes I will only meet up with a buyer in a public place to help avoid an incident with crazy people in craigslist!

CL can be a real crapshoot. Most seem to be lost to reality in terms of real value for their goods.

I used to have a lot of success with finding buyers on CL, but not lately
I've been trying to sell my PS2 with some 20 games and goodies for almost 2 years now. Still can't get a non-Nigerian to respond :(

I assume he edited it out in that edit 2 minutes after he thanked people for help?

He obviously edited his post

but when I first clicked on this thread, the OP's edit was timed so soon after the thread posted and others responded that it didn't make much sense to me...

Yes I erased the link as there is no further purpose of leaving it, but this does show how competitive things are getting, I can guess the economy is hurting the spammer and that he wont want me to sell what he's selling at a cheaper price.

This is why I never help people vote on this forum, or any forum. How do I know the OP's telling the truth? Heat... gimme a break. People with many times more heat than the OP can turn into scammers.

In all fairness, I feel that I'm far more likely to come across an honest trader in a long-time member of AT than I am with strangers A through K on CL.

Last Christmas, I tried to sell an extra Wii for $25 over retail, while others were selling it for $100+ over. Every single time I posted my ad, it was flagged with some BS reason. If I was quick, I saw other ads with reaasonable prices, only to see them disappear as fast as they showed up.
