I hate, HATE this crap. I do the exact same thing. I'd say one out of every 3 deals on CL I do this happens. The nerve of people to try that when you're in person, especially after agreeing to the price when they email you. Ugh, just gets my goat.

I've seen talk on CAG in one of the Craigslist threads about using that tactic.

"Today I have a 4GB Xbox 360 slim for sale. It's matte black comes with av cables, power brick and wired mad cats controller. This is or best offer so make an offer! The worst I can say is no! I will entertain trades but cash is king!"

He's asking $200 for it -______-

I had it occur before but never before showing them and I never haggle. That is why I never budge on the meet up place when I am selling something since it is only 2 miles away. A friend of mine is a bank manager and doesn't care if I do the occasional transaction in his parking lot.
If I knew that I could 100% get away with assaulting someone i'd probably beat the shit out of them before I left. Where I do my transaction is recorded though.
Oh and a hilarious one. I sold a 27 inch old fat screen TV to a guy on a Harley who some how strapped it to the back and rode off. Has nothing to do with anything else. I just like that story.

My disdain for craigslist is what brought me to CAG, actually. Before, I primarily bought and sold lot of my stuff on craigslist and to be fair, did get some great deals. But the haggling and shady people took its toll. LOL, people would guilt me with stories of dying grandparents and pets; lost jobs; even had a "youth pastor" ask me to sell some PS3 games for a ridiculously reduced price because he was working with "orphaned" youth. I'm not saying these people were lying, but how ing inappropriate is it to guilt people in negotiations? Word to the wise (sure most of you already know): Google Voice is your friend!

guy has 8 total listings each is a console lot, some are okay priced others are ridiculous.

I don't know about other people but I don't pay dealer price from some guy off the internet

2009 was before I knew about Google Voice and I constantly had people calling me after selling stuff. It was awful. "How do you do such and such?", etc.

It also helps to not give a shit. Sympathy is your enemy!

I always try to haggle people when I buy stuff. But at least I do it before we meet.

Anytime I get rid of my furniture or electronics on craigslist I always get people who claim to run foster homes or youth centers asking for cheaper rates. At least 1 a day before the post goes down. I usually respond with a one word no if they keep pestering me then depending how drunk I am then I might respond with my assholish banter.
I once put 8 things up in one day and got the same foster story thing on almost every one of my items. I responded no and they responded something about Jesus so I sent them to the mall to meet me and I never bothered showing up. I need to check my google voice because I think I still have the funny voicemails they left me from the mall because it was so funny how someone claiming to be christian was screaming dropping F bombs.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this site, but it's pretty good.

The shovel one isn't bad

disguised weapons is the best though guncup

Damn, that dontevenreply.com collection is fantastic.

There are some angry replies to ads in the "Items Wanted" sections of the OC and IE (scroll down to the "here are some matching ads from nearby areas" section).

Probably all from the same guy, but he's really on fire and raging at all the deadbeats/beggars.

Dont understand why people, not just on craigslist bundle random stuff together and force someone to buy it all together.
