Here is my Top 5 craigslist Pet Peeves:

5. When they say its "100% working" and when the machine won’t start up its obvious that it’s not.

4. When they say it’s in "Collector Quality Condition" and by the sheet rock screws and painted duct tape holding the cabinet together it’s obvious that it’s not.

3. When they try to convince you that they have 5 other "Very Interested “people willing to pay X amount of dollars more but are willing to sell it to me for X amount of dollars more than what its worth as long as I take it at that moment.

2. When you drive 250 miles to look at the machine that you called about and made an appointment to be there on the same day at 6:00 PM, you find out that they are at work until midnight.

1. After you wait for hours for the person to run home on their break they do the top 4 pet peeves on my list and threaten me and my GF when I politely pass on the so called 100% working, Collector Quality, overpriced box of mouse turds held together by Duct tape and Sheetrock screws.

OUCH!

I was going to use my Sioux Falls CL, BSD experience that I told you about. But the Gorgar story out in the middle of nowhere in "whereinthefucarewe" Nebraska took the prize.

don't get me wrong. I have had good luck with CL as well, like you said you have to get a feel for what your looking at and who your dealing with. but sometimes one sneaks under the radar.
