KURT COBAINS GUITAR PICK - $50 (midland park)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

this is a guitar pick that kurt cobain gave to my sister at one of his last concerts. its in great condition and is completely 110 percent legit. im asking for 50 dollars because its just a guitarpick and i need to buy a ps3.thanks

Thanks for reassuring me that it is real. I was skeptical until you confirmed it is 110% real.
 
For some reason people keep emailing me about stuff I put up for sale saying they want it and when can they pick it up but when I reply back (less then 5 minutes after) providing details to make the sale I never hear from them ever again (unless I spam their inbox or start cussing them out).

Then people are promising me they are going to show up and saying they are going to call and never do. If you changed your mind at least let me know so I'm not waiting around all day for nothing, you ignorant pile of shit.

What's funny is, some of these people are clearly either business owners, entrepeneurs, or lawyers and at the bottom of their emails it says their home/business address, name and phone number.

I'd imagine if you were flaking out on craigslist people you wouldn't want that info in there, you might flake out on the wrong person someday, and wake up with your tires slashed or your windows broken

Or you could go to their place of business like you're a customer and ask them about how accountable and reliable they are, and then pull the Craigslist card on them. ;)
 
I just generally accept that unless they're in front of me with money and buying it, it's not a deal.

My big peeve is the chronic negotiators. It's almost like an addiction for them. I had a guy who was an hour away try and get me to go down from $10 to $7 for a Wii Motion Plus. I told him to get lost because that's just pathetic overall.

I also love the latino hustlers around here who for some reason think they can absolutely pull the wool over my eyes. Unless that money is the difference between me dying/going to jail, there's no way I'm caving in to someone's ridiculous demands. Some guy asked me how low I'd go on price, made an offer, and then asked if I could bring it to him. I'm sorry but what? You want me to take less for my item AND bring it to you? I didn't bother to even cuss him out. I just hung up on him mid-sentence.
 
I get alot of those responders as well. It's always a hispanic or mexican person with broken english who does it. "will u tak 50 i come now to get it"

after you learn to spell and write complete sentences I might
 
To me, money is money and I know how things go but it just comes together in a hugely ignorant mess. You can barely communicate with me AND you're trying to screw me? The ball isn't exactly in your court so I suggest you stop trying to make power plays.

But it includes paddles! Maybe it's a unique NES Pong prototype. Or maybe the "paddles" are probably for California Games, I think it had a kayaking game in it.

Plus, it comes with Zelda 11:roll: (or is that Wheel of Fortune starring Zelda) and an X-Men stealth fighter flight sim:roll:. I don't ever remember there being an X-Jet training simulator on the NES. This dude's failure to properly use commas and spaces are hilarious.

Nah, he's talking about the fucking Nigerian scam where those moronin Nigerians use the TTD system to call people here to try to scam since their English is so horrible. What they do is, they use the phone type pad for deaf people, connect to the service which has a live operator/translator, and have them call a place of business or classified ad and "translate" what they are typing, i.e. have the operator read to the person on the other end what the scammer is typing.

It's really an awful awful scam and use of a resource that deaf people rely on. Here, check it:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ID/4781806/

Hey YeOldMario, in regards to that post from the dipshit selling his collection since last summer...the best part is, his ad says "moving sale". Guess he's stuck until he can "move" his overpriced collection.

"Seasons 1-7 of THE SIMPSONS in near mint condition paid 30 each would like 10-15 each, watched once, perfect condition. If any disk freezes once I will give you double your money back.
Click to expand...

Someone should buy all 7 seasons, play them and press pause. THE DISK FROZE! NOW GIMME DOUBLE MY MONEY!!!:D:lol:

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

And in terms of the Rochester moron asking for the rarest/most valuable NES games, this topic might help in determining where to send him.

Also, Rochester's close enough to Niagara Falls and Buffalo (or Syracuse in the opposite direction) that you could probably get him to drive out there for the games. Hell, for that set of games for literally pennies on the dollar I'd fly across the country. Or even better, send the fucker to Toronto Canada. Tell him you're across the lake...HAHAHAHA!!!

Yes, but at The Exchange stores around here it can be easily found for $2.50 - $5.
 
I love this ad. Though I think the poster was specifically commenting on someone's ad selling a car, you can apply it to just about anything for sale on craigslist:

If you know what the you have, then provide the potential buyers with a price!

Otherwise, you dumb son-of-a-bitch, you will get more than your damn share of people who will - unknowingly - respond with that "low-ball" figure you don't want.

Seriously, this shit ain't rocket science - and your ride ain't the bomb!

If CL could only monitor this site for tools...

LIST YOUR DAMN ASKING PRICE!!!

By the way, assholes, if you post the price as $1 then you shouldn't get pissed when you get calls asking if you only want a fucking buck!

DO NOT SELL THIS GUY YOUR PS3

There is nothing wrong with it. The error is a serverside error with the PSN network and your ps3 is NOT broken. He is straight trying to rip you off. Sony knows about the issue and is taking steps to fix THEIR server to resolve this

Again DO NOT SELL THIS GUY YOUR PERFECTLY WORKING PS3

and if this gets flagged it will be reposted. I have all night.

BTW, looks like some meth head tweaker was really jonesing for a fix last week. I was searching for "Gameboy" and "game boy" in the title only, and some dude posted about a dozen ads within the span of a day last week (wonder if he still has it?), check it:

Starts at $40 but quickly drops to $20 then $15 as the desperation/cravings set in...then back to $20 the next morning...

EDIT: the dude is in the ghetto, so probably not a meth head, more than likely a crackhead crack addict instead. LOL.

I must say that the thing I hate most is "Will Go Fast".

A.) It NEVER does. That shit sits there forever or they pawn it and make peanuts.
B.) You have no idea how fast you're gonna move it because all you have is crap like a Sega Genesis with no controllers. It's not like selling a brand new Wii for MSRP in 2006.

so i have this copy of afro samuri for xbox 360 and i bought from the maker himself. i checked online and it is worth more but i need to get it moving. only serious buyers please. also it would be preferable if i could mail it to you, but if that doesnt work then i can meet you somewhere. email me at [email protected]. remember serious buyers only.



WTF!!!! I have no idea how he valued this at 100 and where on the internet he checked that said told him he could get more for it. "Bought from the maker himself" does that mean he bought it from the 5 year old Chinese kid who physically made and packaged the game???

As of today all ps3's will not be able to play games or get on PSN. I can fix that for you. If you have a slim no need to worry.

I know how to reset your PS3 so it will play games and get on PSN again. This fix takes about 20 min. I can do it any time today yet, tomorrow morning and after 7pm the rest of the week

call me @ 262-515-9269 or (262) 573-9249

What the fuck????????

Yeah I love those people who say it will go fast. That's definetly not true otherwise you wouldn't keep reposting the damn thing 10 times per day. When you repost every day and there's proof because you don't delete your ads, you either

1. are a crackhead looking for drug money
2. are trying to rip a random person off by purposely overpricing your goods
3. you have stolen shit that you wanna get rid of before the cops find you
4. you are one of those nutjobs who doesn't respond to peoples emails when they say they can drive over to your house to buy it.

#4 is really common over here.
