Oh teh noes, the Craigslist poleese is after me
« on: June 03, 2018, 09:42:41 PM »
Listed some boxes full of random old tools this afternoon. Low I-want-it-gone price, essentially scrap value. Had a taker within an hour so I want back to the listing and marked it sold. No need for anyone to get their hopes up or waste their (or my) time. Did it this way because I had an a few years back with Craiglist being a little huffy about deleting a listing too soon after it went up. It may not be that way anymore but why take chances.

Anyway, some troll with nothing better to do is spamming me with email about how I'm an idiot.. they're gonna report me... blah blah blah. I've no desire to respond but think it flat out hilarious that someone is so worked up over a $20 post for junk tools. I wish I had that much free time.

What's he going to report you for, doing the right thing and saving other people the trouble of responding after the items have been sold?

Normally I dislike "drive by" you tube links out of thin air, but that was pretty funny.  Worth the whole 0:54.

What's he going to report you for, doing the right thing and saving other people the trouble of responding after the items have been sold?

I swear, this whole country has gone hair triggery and chip-on-the-shouldery.

I would take it seriously, if I were you. That's coming from the girl's father, who has contacted the cyber police, and the state police.

I don't take it seriously until they contact the time cops.
