For some reason his rant reminded me of Office Space...

"Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Perfectly captures the frustration of getting 10 billion emails asking retarded questions that were either covered in the CL post, very obviously knowable via the pictures, or are flat-out stupid.

People shop on Craigslist like it is a Thrifty-fucking-nickle.

Example: In a 27 email conversation, the guy finally decided to buy my wares. We 100% agreed upon a price. I met him in a local parking lot, and he started beating the bush. Hmm, these are nice, but ... Will you take 50% of what we originally agreed upon?

I gave him a firm, "Are you fucking kidding me?" and left.

When I sell stuff on craigslist.

I tell them "CASH ONLY and PICK UP AT MY LOCATION"
makes renegotiating on the price a bit more difficult on their end.

Yep, I've had the same experience. Except the item was too big to meet them somewhere, so this dude came to my house and was in the garage. We had agreed on price by email before he even showed, and then he wanted to haggle significantly once he was there. I told him to get out.

Great, now I have a good contact for when I need to solicit construction advice from. Think I'll email this guy for some help on this patio I'm planning to build...
