Craigslist Gripe
Here’s another winner:
GIANT BOULDER MOUTAIN BIKE PERFECT CONDITION
HARDLY RODE! Steel Grey with black gel seat upgrade, bottle holder, giant black seat bag, upgraded pedals, added scott handle bars, mud guards, and kick stand. Newer tires and handle bar grips. Must sell moving out of state! Make me an offer!
If you’re going to advertise something on Craigslist.org and you want ME to part with my hard earned money, then PLEASE include some frigging pictures! If you don’t know how - asked the pimply-faced kid who mows your grass or just about anybody else who lives in your neighborhood.
Let’s take a look at my offer: I’m not buying your bike.
Secondly, learn how to conjugate the verb ‘ride’.
Thirdly, you’re under suspicion because a bike "Hardly Rode Ridden" and in "PERFECT CONDITION" would not need pedal upgrades. A person could potentially own a brand new bike, shred it to hell and it would still be considered hardly ridden.
Lastly, did anyone tell you that MICHIGAN’s economy sucks a left nut? So don’t go jackin’ the CraigsList readers around with all this ‘my bike is perfect’ and ‘I’m moving out of state’ (evidently somewhere people don’t ride bikes) ballyhoo. We all know gas prices blow and people are switching to alternative modes of transportation - i.e., BICYCLES - so don’t go taking advantage of the situation.
I don’t even know what color or what year it is. Oh, I get it! I’m suppose to CALL the person and then have them tell me all this on the phone and then get directions and then waste gas driving 30 miles one way to find out that the bike doesn’t fit me because it was built for Mini-Me.
This is advertising 101 people. Stop wasting our time.
[And if you want to see how it should be done, here is an example.]
