"croger" caps

Maybe he bought them at a grocery store (Kroger's)

For those not familiar, Kroger's is a grocery store

I do too, but sometimes, those are where the real deals are. Because the idiots can't write an ad, noone else inquires about it. That 85 K1500 I stole for $500, was on there for like a month. All it said was 85 GMC 4x4, need transmission. That's it. No pics, no details, nothing. I started asking questions, like do you have a couple pics? What motor in it? He sent 2 pics, and said 350. DUH, still didn't say much but the pics looked decent. Then I finally asked, what's the condition of the motor and rest of the drivetrain, the rust issues and interior. Then he told me the motor was very low mileage crate, little to no rust, just surface rust. I decided I better jump on it. Had that guy wrote the ad right, he had sold it long time ago, and got his $600 for it. I only asked if he'd take $500 since it sat on CL for a month and figured he thought it was never gonna sell since it sat on CL so long. He hurt hisself by not writing a good ad. So sometimes as much as I hate ads like that, I do like them too.

When I sell stuff on craigslist I try to give as much good info as possible and try to include words or phrases that will show up in people's searches and stuff. Probably why I've always has such good luck selling stuff on there.

yep, same here. And whats nice, you write your ad right, and you will get serveral buyers interested, and when the one shows up, will you take.....? Naww, sorry bud, I have 2 other guys waiting to find out if you bought it, and if you don't they'll be here, so I can't drop the price.

I don't even answer best offer emails on my ads, if it says FIRM. I got stuff sitting on there for 3 months. People hitting me right and left with lousy offers, f-off. I'll keep it sitting in the yard before I get suckered.

Setting the price right is the trick. If you want $200 out of something, list it for $300. Usually whatever you're asking, they will start at half. Then you can wheel em into the $200 easy as long as you sandbag it pretty bad like it's killing you to let it go for that. Then you get people who would say $100 or less. Those people, I like to say "If you want it, it will cost you $350, just for the insult!" They either walk off and you never hear from them again, which is a good thing, or they get their head out of their ass and start negotiating closer to your price you really want for it.

Another trick I learned, if you place a wanted ad, dont put out there what you're willing to pay! You could get it for alot less if you dont.

Alot of times if I want rid of something I price it fair to begin with, just to get it to move. If someone tries to say they'll give me less than what I think is fair I just wont do business with em. The right person will come along who will know a fair price when they see it. Of course me being highly antisocial doesnt help anything. I dont like wheeling and dealing with people at all.

This is exactly what happened just a couple years ago. I was selling a 95 ecsb silverado and it was ridiculously clean! Within 12 hours of the ad being posted that truck was sold and had probably 4 different people looking a it. With that level of action I could just tell the low ballers to take a hike cuz they were clogging up the 'line' behind them! It was pretty crazy

"American Pride" huh...

One, the cart was made in TAIWAN. And Stanley tools closed down the Sabina, Ohio Mac Tools plant, putting 1400 people out of work at a plant that had made Mac tools since the beginning.

Pisses me off.

Big business, f'n the world up.

Now that I am pissed off at the fatcats, might as well vent now. My boss says the insurance plan is going to change a tad, it will save him 5 bucks a person per week, but our deduction will be the same and less choice of referrals. F-U! F you and your ****** company Xmas party in your f'n mansion you bastard. Sorry.....

Yep. Mac tools used to be real big...Now Stanley ran it into the ground and is trying to either close them or sell out. Screwing over their distributors as well.

Snap On has opened 4 new factories in China. I used to buy off the truck every week. Now I refuse to buy anything off them. Only vintage stuff.

Wright and Cornwell are the only tools i will buy new anymore. They're still made in the U.S.A.

I just buy vintage tools though. Made back when quality meant something. Many of my tools are older than I am. The worst part is that if i break one (super rare) it's hard to warranty them because the manufacturer has been out of business for years.
