I put a bunch of stereo items up for sale, first on Craig's List and then on Ebay.

Here are some of the responses I got:

* I'm in San Bernardino and will drive to you right now if you will take $600 cash (for amps I posted a price of $825). Response to him asked him to bring a check for the other $225.
* Will you trade your amps for a mini-computer? A: Not unless it transforms into a semi named Optimus.
* Do they work? (with the fact of positive testing at a stereo shop stated in the ad)
* The obligatory "Is your "item" still for sale?" spam from yahoo and gmail addresses designed to gather email addresses from any response.
* A couple of Ebay questions from a single member on two separate auctions asking me to look at a "compressed picture" to see if the picture is the same thing he wants to get his wife.....with the file being an .exe file.
* The Ebay member who asked if the stereo worked, despite the first two words in the auction description being "Works great".
* The Ebay member who was willing to drive from LA and pick them up to save shipping and buy outside the auction but then did buy it now and cost me commissions and paypal fees.


And people wonder why I have little patience.

 

hahaha

 

Maybe you should pay $25+/week to put your add in the paper.

Or maybe you can just open your windows and yell really loud :P

 

Walk around the city with two boards roped together around your shoulders reading "STEREO FOR SALE $825"..

On second thought, you'd probably get the same responses...

 

Maybe I should put a link to an online IQ test in with the ads? Pass the test or don't respond?

 

Sadly, IQ tests are insanely simple these days...

"What color is blue?"
A.) Red
B.) Green
C.) Blue
D.) None of the above

 

The answer is yes.
