Uhhhhh . . . dealing with craigslist idiots!!!!? -

I m a jewelry dealer and I posted one of my ruby rings with a full appraisal of $10,000 and added that I am open to any reasonable offer. Well, I ve been getting offers for $250 ect. I even had someone write to offer a single dollar. Are these people serious? I even had a lady offer me a couple hundred because it s all she can afford since she is poor and supporting her grandchild with very little income. OMG, I could see if I was selling some type of necessity and she gave me the sob story, but using her pitty trip as an excuse to con me into selling her a $10k ring for $200. Uhhhh . . . the worse part about dealing with CL over Ebay is that it seems like some of the most ignorant people are on there. Has anyone else had similar problems with ppl offering flat-out rude offers on cl for items you are selling???

Oh hell yeah! All the time. I only post sale items on there if its the last resort. Depending on if what I m selling is worth the headache ill get from the responses. Its way to frustrating most of the time a big waist of time. Once in a blue moon you might get a decent person responding to you. But don t ever hold your breath. Id say stick to just Ebay or post an ad in your local news paper. Unless you can stand the headaches. Most people responding from CL are either extremely rude, really mean or just flat out retarded as hell. I don t know what the world is coming to.

Hate to break it to you but no one s gonna pay anything remotely close to $10k for your earrings. The economy is pretty bad as it is...do you honestly think people are gonna have this kinda money to spend??You should also take into consideration that CL is primarily used by lower class cause they can t afford ebay, amazon, auction.com, etc.I tried to recently sell a very clean and excellent 2002 Nissan Sentra. Normally this should sell for $5000 but I was only asking for $3600...and it did not sell. I then lowered price to $2900 and it still did not sell. Face it the economy sucks as it is and doesn t look like its gonna get better...at least not any time soon. Just save your self the time and convenience and dont bother.
