My wife and I have been using craigslist.com for a while now. With our move to Phoenix looming, I thought it would be fun to create a "tips and tricks" list for navigating craigslist. At first, I wanted to create a serious list that people would find on Google and praise me for.. But then I thought that it would be even better to create a satirical view of this topic in the form of a top ten list. You need to have a sense of humor when using this site. If you do not have a sense of humor, stay away...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I now present the top ten tips to buying and selling craigslist.com:
10) Always post your items for sale and then leave on vacation for a week...
9) Delete your item every morning and repost it to stay at the top of the list...
8) Line up 3 appointments for the same item... Somebody is bound to buy it!
7) Do not notify the other 2 people that the item sold...
6) Pay for your item on PayPal and then never show up to pick it up...
5) Post your email, phone number, address and social security number on the ad...
4) Never delete your ads, even after an item has sold...
3) Send an email to every poster asking "Has this item sold?" Then, when they reply saying, "No, are you interested," do not ever reply...
2) Always assume that people are honest, nice and helpful...
Drum Roll...
1) Send 48 emails telling how interested you are in an item and then never show up for your appointment(s)!
