These are the types of adds I won't waste my time looking at. They're just plain STUPID

_____ (insert professional field)
adds on CL that have $1.00 in the title
And usually won't look at ones with no pictures

Learn to advertise and quit wasting good bandwidth
Be descriptive, give as many details as possible, be honest, give contact info, location, pictures, and did I mention "be honest"?

I hate it when they say "Up for sale". Like the whole world is hanging on the edge of its seat waiting for this opportunity.

"My loss is your gain". Doesn't that make us both losers?

"Taking offers". Hmmm...You're probably not gonna like mine.

"Scary fast". Uncontrollable past 60 MPH.

"Sacrifice". I paid too much, will you?

And possibly my favorite, "Ground up restoration". Yeah, right. Among other responses, I resist the temptation to call and say, "Why would you grind up a restoration?"

I like the one that says "Evidently when she says DO WHATEVER THE F*** YOU WANT doesnt mean buy a Harley". [cl

How about the ones that drive up the price because they are:

Antique (Bring a trash bag and a broom will need to sweep 1/2 of it off the floor.)

Classic (82 Honda civic or Pacer)

American Muscle Car (82 Honda with a v8)

Combind the above for an extra $1,000,000.00 to the price tag: Classic Antique American Muscle Car

Hard to find (Will have to dig it out from under all the boxes that are piled on top of it) No Snake I'm not taking a shot at you

I have no idea what it is worth(That one needs no explaining it is the truth)

And for the $1,000,000,000 car: I have no idea what it is worth but i have a hard to find Classic Antique American Muscle Car.

This is a little off the subject but still related to buying. I hate it when people have something for sale and won't put a price on it. "What will you give?" Well, if I have to put the price on it for you it's going to be a really low one.
Recently I was at a yard sale trying to buy something and she refused to put a price on it. I said "you must have some idea what you need for it" and still, it was "just make an offer". So I lowballed at $100 and she fired back, "we wouldn't take less than $600!!". So I said "you really do know what you want then, why are you making me play games" and I walked away.
WTH do people think, some idiot is going to come along and offer them ten times what it's worth?

 

[Torch]

If you have to tell me what it is, I shouldn't be buying it
If you need to convince me how much I should want or need it then it's probably something I don't need or would want.
If I want or need something I go and find it. I have enough trouble going and finding what I don't need already, I don't need help

They aint fooling no-one...
I grew up in the 80's...
I know who this guy is

 

[Torch]

My answer to "what's it worth" or "do you know what it's worth"

... All depends... on if you want it more than I do

 

[Crossfire]

Ad descriptions.

RAN GOOD WHEN PARKED. ONE OF A KIND. ALL" ORIGINAL' BUT DRIVETRAIN . RUNS PERFECT BUT COULD USE TUNEUP. AND THE BEST ONE HURRY BEFORE IT GOES ON E-BAY!

 

[billy]

HURRY!
BEFORE IT GOES TO THE CRUSHER!!!!!!!!


my feeling is
so crush it already

 

[BigIrish]

I've seen similar to this several times: "If I don't sell it this week, I'm putting it back in storage!"

Take that, potential buyers! If I don't get my way, I'm taking my toys and going home! Excellent strategy. [S

"Hard to find/rare" = No one bought these cars when they were new b/c they are ugly. As a bonus, you will not be able to find a replacement for that mangled fender.

I still would love to have an AMC Pacer

Or a Gremlin

I have no idea what it is worth but I have a hard to find Classic Antique American Muscle Car. Mint condition low miles. Always in covered storage. Looks like it did when it roller of the line. 100% original. three to chose from. It's the deal of a life time. Don't miss this one!!!!!! Must sell this week end, Wife wantes it gone.

"I don't need to sell this so no low ball offers and if you think I'm gonna give this away don't even bother calling and wasting my time because I won't put up with it."

OK, I'm mad just reading their ad
