Exactly, and if anything help the guy out if you want him to quit posting it. It woudln't have bothered me so I probably wouldnt have posted anything, unless it was rant in response to that guys rant, or I'd email the guy and tell him try eBay to get more of a nationwide market. List a few parts and pay the fees, but in those eBay listings I'd be telling everyone I have other parts too, just ask. I have sold many items on eBAy when I take the pic of the item for sale, other items are in the background, and sure enough, someone will usually ask in direct email and it ends up sold.
Craiglist Lesson : So this guy lists a Tow DOLLY for $125 and some other things. I emailed about the Tow DOLLY, asking if its a homemade jerry rigged unit, or is it manufacactured. The guy didn't put a locaction, DUH, had to ask 3 times before I finally got that, although I knew it was a distance cuz of the area code. So its about 70 miles from me. Being its 70 miles, and its manufactured, for $125, I'll still go get it. Used around here they go for about $500 for a decent one, so this is a steal. So I tell him, I am coming from OKC and would like a pic and if its what I think it is, I'll run to the bank, be on my way and there in an hour and a half. He calls me back and asked if I got the pic yet. I said NO, then said, well tell me about it and if it sounds like what I want then I'll just come get it. He says all this crap, then I ask about fenders. He says no, it don't need no fenders, it ain't got no wheels. LMAO, I said, Ohhhhhhhhhhh so this is a tow BAR, not a tow DOLLY. He says, NO MAN, this is a damn TOW DOLLY with chains and everything you need to hook up and tow a car. I had to laugh, and while laughing, I said, sir, I already have a TOW BAR, but I want a TOW DOLLY now, and TOW DOLLY has wheels and ramps with tire straps. He said **** YOU and hung up on me. Probably cuz he was pissed cuz I was laughing my ass off. Needless to say, I saved myself about 3 hours time and $45 in gas and being pissed off for a few days. Instead of being pissed off, I think I about laughed til I pissed my pants, and I laughed even harder when the guys said F you and hung up on me. LMAO Dumb redneck idiot !!!
People like that are some of the ones that make CL a bad choice to do biz.
A good tow dolly around here goes for around $1,000. Something that can haul a truck anyway. The smaller car dollys are alot less, in the $500 range. But the tires on a stock K10 wont fit between the fenders on those.Craiglist Lesson : So this guy lists a Tow DOLLY for $125 and some other things.

Not according to this seller. This Tow DOLLY could haul ANYTHING you hooked it up to, its a stout buger, I'm tellin ya. LMAO But it don't need fenders, cuz it aint got wheels.
You right on the prices C4, I think I'll just stick to my trailer. I was just hoping to get away from towing 1100lb trailer empty one way, because that alone even empty hurts the fuel mileage. Its an 18 ft Tandem axle. And sometimes I do use my universal tow bar, if what I am towing has decent tires and most of its lugnuts. But then whatever you are towing needs the front bumper too and sometimes I buy stuff to keep it out of the junkard and part it out, but someone has already taken the bumper, so then its trailer time regardless. I am sure I can do without a tow DOLLY, but if I find a steal on one, I'd sure get it. I shoulda known for $125 something was up on this one.
Awww Man, and it wasn't me you gave it too. I'd like to have at least seen it and see if how hard it would be to make one.
