Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

There something sketchy about this guy. First he posted an ad in the wanted section asking for a $100 train ticket, then he posted a wanted ad asking to buy a train conductor's uniform.......and NOW he posts and ad saying he has 10 brand new 120gb ipod classics selling them for $65 each. I bet anything they're stolen and he's trying to hide out and run away. LOL

-----------------

Also, someone posted an ad with a video of 2 guys stealing an ipod. Heres the ad and the video. It looks like some kind of flea market.

You can see where they steal the ipod in the middle of the video, he puts it in the bag when nobodys looking.
 
I don't see it as stupid, all it takes is 1 person to think its a deal. I sold my fat PS2 that had a DMS4 inside it for $585, and last month I sold a 60GB Ipod Video for $160. I also sold the first issue of EGM for $215

All it takes is 1 person :)

Wow... Thank God there is finally someone willing to pay us a personal visit and remove something of value from our homes.... For free in MOST cases... What a philanthropist (that word means nice and generous and caring for other people)!
This truly inspires me... I think I will start helping the world, too:

If anyone has any nuisance jewelry laying around, I will discreetly rid of it for you at no charge - Unless it is riddled with unsightly stones in it - Then I must charge you, um... $50.
I may also be willing to help you unload any newer electronics; stereos, new computers, televisions (flat screen only)...
Also, for Los Angeles County only- Will gladly follow you to your bank and help you tidy things up there, as well...

Please e-mail me any time.

Optimus Prime - $500 (Dayton)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]
Date: 2009-04-07, 2:31PM EDT


There are three Optimus primes here.The orginal g1 prime has everything to it.nothing is missing or broke.the stickers are still on it and is in excellent condition for its age.The other Optimus was a prize i won from pepsi and has been open once. and the last is from the new movie.Its seen some play time from my kids but is still in good shape.will not separate.This is a great collection for any transformers lover.If intersted contact me at 937510#%$& any time. 500.00 or best offer.

$500 for three transformers toys, two of them used!
 
Okay the original G1 Optimus Prime, complete in box, assuming that it's not a reissue and is in excellent shape, excellent sticker placement, etc., is worth a bit of cash. Certainly not anywhere near $500 unless it's been graded high and sealed, but still worth some good money.

The Pepsi Prime isn't really worth all that much, especially since it's been opened and played with. And the loose movie figure, looks like the Voyager Prime or maybe the Target exclusive Robovision Prime, not worth much at all.

I'd offer $100 for all three, more if I didn't have an original complete/boxed G1 Optimus Prime (among many other reissues) and a sealed Pepsi Prime. If you just want a nice Optimus Prime, the 25th anniversary one is a great bargain, especially if you can find a clearanced one at Target. Even the $60 that amazon is currently charging for it is not a bad deal, considering it's free shipping and no sales tax.
 
Not sure what's going on, guy asks $175 for a GBA SP and I offer $150 and I don't hear back. If I had someone who wanted to pay $150 for a GBA SP I would drop everything I was doing.
 
[quote name='Ye0ldmario']Some other CAG's mentioned seeing them at Goodwill stores, for $7.99

the anniversary one[/quote]

fuck me, I wish I could see that. Probably from the Target clearance, as they donate a lot of their clearanced items to Goodwill if they don't sell. I would buy them all. Hell, if any CAG has scored an extra one, I'll definitely make it worth their time to ship it to me...
 
[quote name='neiname']Not sure what's going on, guy asks $175 for a GBA SP and I offer $150 and I don't hear back. If I had someone who wanted to pay $150 for a GBA SP I would drop everything I was doing.[/quote]

LOL, no shit. But why are you offering $150 for a GBA SP? Just for shits n giggles i.e. to toy with the guy?
 
Yes I use that craigsflagger site ALOT lol and it does really work. You have to wait a while and let the proxies do the magic but it does work cause I've shot down ads with it before.

Whats the point in that, what do you get out of it?

I see people flag post's left and right and usually because your selling something cheaper then they are or you get the for example post of "PS2 for sale" then you get a follow up "RE:pS2 for sale" and its someone attacking the other seller for something stupid....

I say let them post the sometimes retarded ad's because if anything its going to sit forever and everyone has the right to post any price they want and if there is someone out there less informed and someone buys it for the super inflated price then so be it dont be mad because it wasnt you that cashed in on it... How do you think Ebay got so big haha its people buying something they think they are getting a deal on but 90% of the sellers are re-sellers who got the said item for dirt cheap...

Maybe that post only needed one flag or so to be fully flagged and removed. I'm trying it on one now that is linking his ad to his ebay auction for a yugioh card. After an hour of running this I got

Done! There were 473 Successful Flags Made and 528 Failed Flag Attempts!

DOH! The ad still exists - Try again!

LOL, that sucks. I think it is actually attempting to flag as described, however perhaps craigslist has implemented some sort of neutralizer directly in response to this site and other automated flaggers. Perhaps their system checks to see if a certain post is getting bombarded with flags, then it marks it as an automated attack and keeps the ad up.

I've noticed a LOT of ads that used to be flagged off very quickly, now will not disappear at all.

Its not fake at all. Some posts have a higher flag limit than others. Sometimes it requires more than one attempt. Don't expect it to be flagged in a minute. Normally it can take about 20 minutes, but still it works. It is a good tool to get rid of spam or people selling similar stuff as you.
Just turn it on and go do other stuff, come back to it later and see if it is removed or still there. Then restart if necessary. I've only once had to restart it more than once to get a post removed.

I have been running it for a few hours now changing the different options each time it has finished. Every cycle it gets between 400-430 successful attempts at flagging and about the same failures. So far the ad is still up.

LOL, I had it run through 4 full restarts, something like 2,000+ flags and it still didn't remove a notorious spam. What do you set the parameters to? I do random header, every 3 seconds, report after 5 attempts.

Wish that flagger worked in 30 secs like it says on the site. I haven't let it run more than a few minutes but if it takes a couple hours I'm not going to use it for every spam or ridiculous post I see. Is there a type of flag that would get the post taken down quicker?
 
No doubt they scale it based on the population size of the city/region.

I.e. some location with a small population is going to take much fewer flags to get it flagged off than say my location, Los Angeles.

And apparently it also takes into consideration the post creator's history, i.e. if they've had a lot of posts flagged, been identified previously as spammers, etc. then it will get knocked off quicker.

I'm working on a couple of posts now. Will let everyone know how they go...

Nah, man....people do not know the difference. I was selling mine around Christmas and i had like a hundred e-mails/calls within an hour after the 3rd one I realized what was going on. One idiot even came all the way to my house to test it out. I put in Halo and after about like 10 minute he states, "I really thought the quality would be bettter than this???". at first i was like WTF??? Is this guy talking $hit about my tv(3 year old 42" SOny WEGA) in the basement. So iI told him, "you know this game is like 8 years old right? And this is an XBox, you know that right?". "ooooh, this isn't the xbox 360 elite?". I could've murdered that Jackass right there.
