How NOT to run a Craigslist ad

[MaxStout]

I spotted this item a few months ago when searching for brew gear on CL. This guy re-posts every month or so and you will see why once you check out the wall o' fine print at the bottom. A buck a mile, $50 minimum if you want him to meet you somewhere to sell you those three beer bottles.

Be still my beating heart.

Who'd pay $20 for three grolsch bottles anyway? Is there something special about them?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Um, I guess the brown bottles are harder to find, but one can buy the beer in green bottles pretty easily where I live.

But, but, but...they’re VINTAGE!

If the guy can sucker someone into paying $50, then I’m the idiot for laughing at him Until then, I laugh!

Yeah, the ad is a basket case, won't defend the author, but there are actually options for the buyer to go to the "PICK UP LOCATION" or have the item shipped ("Call for charges and options.")
The DELIVERY thing was likely more tongue in cheek than an actual expectation...

Cheers!

$20 for 3 bottles or $1.99 or goodwill I see them all the time. Last time I was there there was a case of them minus 1 . Ceramic tops and brown..... $22 plus tax.

Says he has other sales as well. Probably runs an antique/junk shop out of his garage and that's his standard delivery rate.

The guy is selling close to 1700 items. Looks like he goes to yard sales and buy stuff. I wonder how many buyers he gets to his terms below...
