Message:: [QUOTE="doug444, post: 1523335, member: 38849"]About 50% of the CraigsList responders are automatic deletes, after reporting them to CL.  Another 40% are stupid, crazy, or abusive.  That leaves 10% bona-fide customers, most of whom buy something on their first trip. Here's part of the 40%; today, some guy wants to trade me JUNK and plumbing fixtures for coins: "Sent from <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/id452257563?mt=8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/id452257563?mt=8" rel="nofollow">c•Mobile</a>  for iPad are you interested in a trade. I have 8 of the interior handles I have  two half motorcycle helmets only wore once. I have a new badger 5 disposal and  big box of plumbing supplies with two new faucets included. I would trade some  of theses things if interested..." <DELETE> Another:  "Will you do 25 for the two Franklins" <DELETE> More:  "I got $20.00" <DELETE> This is the price you pay for free advertising, and it's a minefield for amateurs.  My "Delete" key's about worn out... But I can deal with it, and all the sales are cash, face-to-face (no postage, no never received it), and many are likely to be future customers...[/QUOTE]
