There's something about CraigList that brings out the biggest idiots and losers. Here's the most recent correspondence in my quest to sell my Explorer. We'll call the guy "Mr. Smith".
Smith: i will by now cash r money order
[yes, he really uses a 24-point font]
Me: Sounds good, but don't you want to test-drive it first?
[2 days later]
Smith: what car did u have i looked at a bunch
Me: '98 Explorer
Smith: i cant find it where is it at on there
Me: [sent him the link]
Smith: im about to call u
[My phone never rang]
Smith: well we need to talk about the price its 98 limited 3500 but i got one more car 2002 xlt suv for 5600urs is nice but 10 years old we can talk about that price go on craigslist
[At this point, I'm starting to realize that I may be dealing with someone of less than average intelligence]
Me: Feel free to make an offer, but I don't have a whole lot of room to move. I've already got it listed $1500 less than book value.
Smith: let me think real quick that is a sexy name
[OMFG. What the hell?]
Me: What are you talking about? I'm a dude, and I highly doubt you'd find me sexy.
Smith: i got to find a bank of america do u know where 1 is
[OK, so he just totally blew off the fact that he thinks I have a sexy name. Anyway...]
Me: No.
Smith: well i can tell u what i can pay but i can write a check show u my balance in my checking and hold title until it clears but i need a recipt to show how much i wrote r i got to find a bank of america
[Yeah, because I REALLY want to take a check from you]
Me: Sorry, but I can only accept cash or a money order. What is your offer?
Smith: 2500
Me: No
Ugh. Clearly, you are an illiterate moron, and should head over to one of those "no credit, no problem" dealerships.
