    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just like Snowbank's article. Want a $20k ferrari (or something of the sort)? Build a business that makes $20k/month...(you get the idea). Nice work in building just one part of your business to cover the payments...car looks awesome!

    I am opposite. Had price at 235 OBO and got a lot of offers for 200 with one pending at 220 after negotiating. Since he is locked in for 48 hours, I just raised price to 250 OBO to encourage higher offers than 220. Yay or nay thinking/mentality? Don't want my watchers to disappear, but hopefully...

    Do you ever raise prices if you are doing a fixed price and see a bunch of watchers? Granted, I only have 8 watchers and ran a 5 or 7 day fixed price ad on ebay for an ipod touch...already got offered $27 lower than my fixed price, so I was thinking I should have made it higher. Seems like...

    Agree...this is also why I go back to ads a couple weeks older or more and inquire again or remind them of my offer if I recognize the ad. I try to tell people upfront that the market around here sucks for selling and they won't get a ton more offers, but they want to find out for themselves :D...

    So annoying getting flagged on CL...some little twerp with nothing better to do flags all 4 of my ads for one product that I have over 4 markets. I usually only waste time flagging when I know it isn't a real person; i.e. 2k for a 2009 car worth 20k saying to email them at [email protected]...

    Haha I have a spreadsheet that tracks everything. That $700 was actually only from 5 products lol Just keep on reinvesting. I must suck with CL advertising, or don't give it enough time. How long do you post on CL/FB before posting on Amazon/Ebay? I get too antsy after 1-2 days on CL and...

    First month flipping for me...see my posts above. Yesterday i picked up a ps4 plus game, 20 xbox360 games, and a textbook. Other day i picked up an ultimate booms speaker, 64gb ipod touch, and a brand new ipad4. Have about 700ish in inventory. I agree with you on air. I did one flio but seems...

    Haha I think everyone is as cautious about CL as the person on the other end is. Most of time they've brought another person, especially since I'm usually dealing with women somehow. I usually use the gas trick, although this one gal said I am the one buying from her and already getting a good...

    More RBefort hustling stories. Drove 50 miles (was picking up a couple other products along the way) to pick up 5th gen ipod touch that I might have paid too much for. Met at Walmart entrance, and it is like a 16 yr old chick and her bf. Oh lordy...she told me in the CL emails that she rest...

    INVESTING 
    I have 2.99% interest rate on mine. I pay $20-40 mo/interest. If you can find a way to put the money you're burning on interest into an income-generating asset at a better ROR, then sure. Just depends on the situation.

    Oil Hits A Low Of 81.32!

    INVESTING 
    Same here...finally reached $2.99 in KS. What a welcomed site...even though I now drive 35+ mpg car and don't drive anywhere really. But saves on roadtrips! How long until they are predicting it goes up? Thanksgiving?

    Meh, 30-50 miles away and going that direction on the weekend for a wedding. Would be a waste of $10-15 in gas. Trying to save on my profits lol. Wish there was a way to have Craigslist included on paypal terms of service in regards to paying and then if seller sells an item before you can...

    HOT! 
    I find it easier to buy on CL and then relist on CL in a different market or amazon/ebay. I have much smaller CL market, however. Ebay/Amazon you are exposed to the world, various income levels, different expectations of pricepoints, etc. Exposure is just so different. 2nd part is basically...

    Yeah, that's bullshit. I stress the importance of this to them in the email. I say I buy products all the time, and when I say I will buy, I will buy; so I expect them to not sell it from underneath me. If they want to wait for another offer, then they should just tell me so.

    I find it mildly amusing how cash offers and quick payments work on CL. I'll throw out a lowball offer that I can profit off of sometimes within hours of a post, saying "I know it's early in the ad, and you can wait for more offers, but I can have this gone today for yada yada price." Then...

    Nice work! Usually when people ask to trade, it is complete shit (guess I've only had a couple of instances with a car and a surround sound). The surround sound a guy wanted to trade mechanic or skilled labor. Zzzzz.

    Good god there are a ton of losers and wankers on CL. Not flipping this car, but didn't get any bites for forever posting my price and even showing the NADA/KBB values. Not to mention, I said I was honest and let people know anything and everything about the car beforehand. You mention one...
