[Jesus]

More specifically on Craigslist 

I can't for the life of me understand why people list shit online and then don't fucking respond to interested parties that email them.  This shit happens to me all the time.

To make matters worse I made arrangements to go buy something from somebody tomorrow and the stupid sun of a bitch sold it out from underneath me after I agreed to buy it.
To make matters even worse I was prepared to buy and pickup the item in question Wednesday night but the seller wanted to wait until tomorrow due to time constraints on his part.  Needless to say I am madder than a raging motherfucker right now.

Someone probably offered more money... Sucks man

[Jesus]

I wish that were the case.  Then I wouldn't be pissed off right now.

The idiot simply sold it to someone else....for the same price 

[punkrider99]

it's karma for never returning anybody's phone calls.

[Jesus]

There's plenty of ways to get in touch with me that don't involve talking on the phone.

No Karma here bitch

[Scott]

it's karma for never returning anybody's phone calls.

 no shit... and then he gets mad when he calls you back like 8 hours later and you might not be around...

[Jesus]

Again..there are plenty of ways to get in contact with me and this should be your order of precedence:

1. Text message
2. Email
3. PM on 719
4. PM on Vortex
5. Telephone

That is the order I'd assume if you had dial-up... and was ALWAYS online

 i feel ya man that shit happens to me all the fucking time too i just want to grab them throu the computer and smash there head against the wall

[Jesus]

I never finished telling the rest of my adventures from last weekend.

I made arrangements to go look at something that was 100 miles (one way from me) down south. I made sure ahead of time to get plenty of pictures and immediately gassed up and got on the road so I wouldn't miss out on the deal.

Much to my surprise when I arrive at the guy's house it becomes painfully obvious that the pictures he sent me were probably 3 years old and the item was actually in terrible fucking condition    Needless to say a 200 mile round trip worth of gas and an entire Sunday afternoon wasted for nothing.  I was not happy.  So yeah....last weekend sucked

[punkrider99]

so what was this piece of shit?  the first kia in the u.s.?

[Jesus]

A boat

[punkrider99]

good god are you donny baker now?

[Jesus]

Nope.
I just enjoy boating and I have a lot of water within minutes of my house.

[punkrider99]

ha well that's cool.  i really miss being out on a lake and doing some wake boarding.  ah the good ol days.

[101stvet]

why not buy donny bakers boat you might get a fat chick and some mountain dew with it

[Jesus]

Wow
I just drove a 100 mile round trip this morning to look at a boat I found advertised on craigslist.  I asked the seller several questions about the boat over the course of the last few days.  I was specifically told that the boat ran fine and there were no mechanical issues.
When I get there to look at it in person I start talking about starting it up... guy is like... oh yeah I forgot to tell you that that engine block is cracked and the crankcase is full of water... but it runs
I literally walked to my truck and just drove off

WTF?

wtf?!?!?! that a giant load of bull shit , that guys a dick.

[sad_rocc]

So far, every "deal" I've come across on CL has never turned out to be a deal at all. Been looking at cheap winter beaters and many sound pretty good in the ads. When I contact the person, then I find out about cracked windshields, missing windows, missing mirrors, electrical gremlins and so on.

"Yeah, runs great, I used to use it every day to commute 100mi to work each way and it never let me down. Oh yeah, it needs new tires and a new battery and I think there's a small short in one of the lines because when you use the turn signal the horn honks. Also, the tranny sometimes has trouble shifting into gear and the o2 sensor needs to be replaced. Oh, and sometimes it stalls out when it gets warm but it'll start right back up again when it cools down. What do you expect, it's a $900 car."

Thanks buddy, but I know where I can find lawn ornaments for a lot less than $900.

Unfortunately it wasn't nearly as dramatic.  I was frustrated but still maintained my cool    Plus I quit smoking back in February 08 

Unless I find an actual good deal real soon I'm probably gonna hold off on a boat and hopefully get a good deal on something this winter.

[LOS]

Yeah I read that you quit on that suicide drug, but its been how many years since I seen ya?  So anytime I picture you, its with a cigarette...
Glad you quit though.

This is still making me giggle.. wtf is wrong with me today..

your high, or you are about to come out of a very dark room wher coats usually hang out.... 

Pat on your note, I tried to be honest as possible, but I swear the morning I sold my truck I ran over a freakin nail going to fill her up with some good gas. BUT I gave away my old APC racing seats for free, I had three people call me before I could wash a caddy... and the guy was there to pick them up before I could dry it off. Some deals are legit.

[LOS]

Closet egh?  Whatever pirate... you about to walk the plank mate...
