Third post down from this one I mentioned one of my pet peeves is when I ask a question and/or questions and don't receive an answer. One of the things I mentioned was that I had replied to three different ads on craigslist for outboard motors in the past year and hadn't received a response from any of them. I looked into doing feedback on craigslist, but discovered that in order to do so I needed a craigslist account. Now, I don't need a craigslist account to post an ad, but if I want to ask them if there's a problem I would need an account with them. WTF!! So I decided to run an ad on craigslist and see what happens:
Is There A Problem With craigslist (UP)
or the people posting on craigslist. I've replied through craigslist to three different ads for outboard motors in the past year and haven't gotten a response from any of them.
In less than 3 days I had 5 different people reply to my ad. Several of them asking what kind of motor was I looking for. I answered the ones asking what kind of motor, but so far haven't come up with what I am looking for. One was from the Downer Peninsula and another from Illinois.
That pretty much answered my question. It's the idiots posting ads that don't know how the system works.
