    First time I've advertised an item for sale on craigslist. Almost wish I hadn't. Pretty much every email query is a scammer. Sheesh! The best was a guy who offered me more than I asked for, if I could send the item to him and he'd send me a check. Sure thing. Big waste of time. :mad:

      Weird. I've used it many, many times and love it. The only thing I don't like to do is offer something for free. Lots of people respond but then never show up. Wackos. So, I'll list something for $5 and then give away free when they actually come. Must be California. :-D

      Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

          It's definitely gotten worse over the years. I have used them a lot but not recently!

            I posted a dev job on there one time. I made if very clear multiple times: "IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DO NOT BOTHER REPLYING". I got HUNDREDS of replies. Most from India. about 2 were from SoCal.

            If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

              As a Yank what spent many years in Engerlund, can you pronounce Craig correctly or like all Yanks some how get it to rhyme with Greg? Never been on Craigslist, nor have I met him so don't have anything I can say other than, I'll give you five Australian dollars for it.

                  I most certainly am...and how did you know my middle name was Shirley?

                      I have a British accent so, yes, I pronounce everything correctly. :)
