There are a lot of bottom dwellers on there for sure.

I was selling a gutted Mad Planets cabinet on there for $20.  A guy was interested but then backed out at the last minute.  He said it was "too expensive".  I jokingly said that I would slash the price to $10.  He said he would be right over.

Upon seeing him I told him to keep the $10.

Some people should get their priorities straight and shouldn't be buying arcade games.

You're nicer than I am. I'd probably invite him over and then send him home empty-handed.

Odds are he wanted to live in it anyway.

I just don't have patience for people like that.

A dude came over 2 nights ago. On every single item, he would ask "Are you going to give me a break since i drove sooooo far?" Yeah, whatever...

I finally got tired of hearing it, reminded him to pay me what we'd previously agreed on, and sent him on his way.

He took away 3 empty cabinets and a busted 25" monitor. We didn't cut him any slack, either. We would have been more inclined to if he hadn't said that stuff. It just ticked me off.

Instead of offering him fair prices on the other items I had for sale, I stopped the entire transaction short of what we'd previously discussed on the phone. I didn't even let him try to buy anything else.

It's in our nature to bargain...we are humans. I sell quite a bit of stuff on craigslist since Ebay turned out to be such a fraud and I'm pretty happy with it. If they don't like the price just don't sell it to them. As far as the incomplete sentences you just have to watch out for the ones that want you to ship it to them I only deal locally from the pure fact of all the international and shipping scams. And if they drive far just say "hey you drove either you want it or you can get back in your car and drive far again"
