What has happened to Ebay and Craigslist? I have never made and

after coming to an agreement on email I have never tried to change
the price in person unless there was something extraordinarily
wrong - such as one man saying that there was a slight dent on the
right side of a car and then in person the entire right side was
pushed in.

I have had offers on Craig's list innumerable times in the last six
months and no one ever showed up to even look at it. I have had
stupid questions on Ebay like "is it really that color?" When all
of the pictures were plain as sunlight can make them.

These sites are rapidly becoming useless even if you want to give
something away. I had some shoes that were almost new and the wrong
size for me so I put them on Craig's list to give them to someone
that might not be able to afford good shoes. Not ONE single
response on a giveaway item of a $200 pair of shoes.

they are cesspools


EBay is where I got really good deals on bicycle tires, a new bottom
bracket, various electronics parts for the lighting bus, et cetera.
