Craigslist posters are lame

[Parasitic]

Ever see something like 2 lines of actual text and 3 whole pages of keywords?

I see something like this all the time, and every time I see a post like that it really gets on my nerves. At least be a little more discrete about it. Exposure and coverage are good for classified ads, but that is just way too overkill...

Example:

blah blah blah text

spam spam spam.

Edit: fixed for retardedness.

How's that now? He posted an example of something he hates, not an ad of his own.

I'm guessing that he was trying to reinforce his point.

So far I am having no luck trying to give someone $100 for a Dell P1130 or P992 in excellent working condition. Would buy one on eBay but too worried about the monitor arriving either broken or significantly not as described.

Good luck to you. I have a Dell P1130 that I paid $160 for a couple years ago. Great monitor for the price. Sitting on my desk now as a secondary monitor, as I got a 2209WA to be primary.

hi is item you have still for sale?

 

[imported_six]

Yep. I also hate those who list stuff at $1 and you find out it's not. I usually put my minimun at $2. And then there are those who list their junk as a whole lot better than what it really is. ie. fair condition = brand new or beat up trashy = good with minor scratches that won't affect performance.

That's why you search by title only.
