Craigslist scammers

I've had my DVD disc changer on Craigslist for a couple of weeks now and the only response I've had is some sicko spammer that stated that if I was in need of rent money or needing to put food on the table that there are other ways to do it. He gave me some link for whatever. WTF! I just want to upgrade my system so I bought a new receiver and blu ray player and am selling the old stuff. What's wrong with these people? Trying to con the poor and downtrodden. Just a rant I guess :confused:

    Lowballers are the ones that annoy me. I put my Eosone rsf600's on there for $200 and I got a handfull of $100 pick up today offers.... They think everyone selling on there NEEDS money. When all I need is floorspace. Just an fyi, never email someone that has an Ipod touch on there for $75 or anything of value for almost nothing, they just want your email to send you crap.

    Yeah, it seems to be a bunch of losers on there, sure is a lot of junk for sale too. Only reason I used Craigslist is I don't have the original box. I didn't want to bother with shipping. Sure isn't working out very well. One guy couple of weeks ago had some old 8 track for $80, yeah, I'll jump right on that! Maybe I should try it on here in the FS. Trouble is I have no seller rating. Never sold anything on CP.

    Now that's really lame. But maybe the item was sold and the seller is just too lazy to delete the ad, who knows.
