So, I've a couple bikes that need to go. Jury's out on whether or not I'm a total fucking retard, but I can probably put together a decent ad, will you buy my bikes?
I tried to sell my r6,and eventually took it down and fixed it.Assholes could not!! Read an add if their life depended on it. I also have a pretty much brand new mountain bike that was my x Wifes. Been trying to sell for $100.One asshole has been on his way to get it two times now,and I tried at Christmas to give the fucking thing away to a local,who's kids bike was stolen. It's still sitting in my sunroom.FB Pricks!! And the Mercedes was the worse! Everything from I will take it, to physical threats of violence because i wouldn't hold it.
I used to sell a bunch of stuff on Craigslist and Facebook. Between the scammers and morons, it's no longer worth it and I'd rather bury the stuff in the woods than deal with the stupidity. Some future old man with a metal detector is going to be very happy. "I unearthed a shift lever from a 1989 FZR 400!"
Sold 2 bikes in the last month on Marketplace. Got the usual morons, but as usual- once the first real person actually shows up to see my (not) junk it sells for asking price The key is to not NEED to buy or sell with any urgency
Put up some free fishing poles 2 days ago. A lady who wants them for her kids spoke up first, seconds after I posted them. After 5-6 God Bless You Thank You messages, she's so far failed to show up and pick them up, and meanwhile, I'm dealing with 5 other people who want them. They're on my driveway, and I have to look at them 10X a day. Why do I do this? I should have just busted them up and threw them in the garbage.
If it want them gone, leave them out by the curb with a sign saying "$10, text me". If you just say they're free, nobody cares. Put a price on them and someone will "steal" them.
