If you feel picked on and are taking it personally, my apologies. If you contacted me about my items on Craigslist and I blew you off - sorry, but most people do not ask me to hold the item, promise to pay me with a certified check when I have specified CASH ONLY and most will not offer me MORE then I'm asking by a third. And the fact that the language skills displayed by those individuals was stilted like a poorly learned second language and grammatically incorrect, I feel that that is enough of a reason to say what I said.

You are stating that you are the most honest people on earth - I believe you.

When you say that you are one of the most polite people - well, reread your negative and very personal comments to me.

well here we go, first off there were no very personal comments to you, and yes without rereading it, i did say i am one of the most honest and polite people on earth no matter how bad my puncuation is. but i will not be polite to anyone who bashes my pesonal character based on how good i am at navigating a stupid key board. you in short term said because someone cant type in good grammer with proper punctuation they are a thief, you are very shallow in stereotyping others based on thier computer skills and i am taking it very persoanl at this point. no one calls me a thief and gets off without hearing my comeback.

ive never looked but i can guess that 1/2 the posters on this board do not follow proper grammer skills. ive got 662 posts and never have i used proper typing skills, sorry if i have offended anyone by this post or any of the other 661, i guess its time for me to take a hyatis from the forum for a while and let this guy work out his deep ceeded phycological issues!!!!!!!!!! its been great with every one here, until later, cccccc-ya

Come on you guys cool down a bit . I really have had great luck with my local Craigs list . I think you guy also can find some real good local deals .

I have heard about Craigslist but never knew what it was until now. After reading this thread I Googled it for my city and found several interesting items already. If I spend as much time on it as I do on here I might never get any work done.

John,
It's a great (and free!!) way to sell your excess "treasures". You just have to be careful in both buying and selling with the "Nigerian" scams (as well as some devious locals as I've said). The nice thing is that IT IS local and you can see the item and dicker before you pay.

Dave,

I like the idea of it being local. I just bought a 400sbc from a guy in the paper and had to drive almost 90 miles to look at it. I see one on Craigslist in my town not 15 minutes away for half of what I paid for the other one. This looks to be much better than the local paper let alone EBay.

Oh - bye the way, before you leave I really think you should reread and understand what I said:
1. I stated that I believe you were honest, as you stated, because I don't know different.

2. I am taking offense at the fact that you you were saying to me that you are polite - and your first post really was totally the opposite to me and directed to me personally.

3. I have also not condemned your personal grammar, spelling or punctuation capabilities. I am well aware of the fact that many people do not have those skills. But I for sure know when I'm being scammed by their language usage

4. I don't believe that language skills make a thief as you so nicely put it - but as said above," I for sure know when I'm being scammed by their language usage" There are certain language signposts that tell me that by the context of the message and by many others similar that I've received on sale items.
So with that said.....sorry to see you go as you are a good contributor here
