I purchased some tractor tires off of Craiglist. The Ole lady went to get them with her girlfriend and came home telling me the guy was a jerk. I shrugged it off. Today I get an email from the SOB that is far from normal. I reported the issue to Craigslist...Then I replied....What I think about spending 372$ to clean up America ain't S%^t. I'll be seeing you soon. There are some some truly messed up people out there, glad she is home safe and she won't be picking up anymore deals!
I have found many a good deal on CL. Just always gotta remember, it's buyer beware out there. It is even scarier if you go to someones property. I always meet up with people in a neutral public place that has ample of people around.
Sorry you had a bad go.
I agree, and will still be searching out deals. It might be this guy that wishes he never heard of craigslist, not me.
I NEVER complete a Craigslist transaction unarmed, no matter if it's at my house or theirs. I haven't had any issues at all though. Better to be prepared though.
No disrespect intended CS, bu I would not have sent my wife (fiancee in your case) to a Craig's List pick-up with a total stranger. Not a good plan IMO.
RockRiver: I do the same thing. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
Crash: I was kinda thinking along similar lines. I didn't want to say anything, but since you brought it up I do agree.
CS - If the guy made threats of any kind report it to the police and hang on to the email. They will need a copy that contains the headers. Emailing threats is a felony.
Don't respond to his emails. Ignore him and he might go away.
You might also want to obtain an Order of Protection. Don't just shrug it off. Some guys really are a threat.
Never use craigslist oh i'm sorry crimelist where I live way too many loons.Never use ever again to many problems with it.
Ok two stupid mistakes on my part agreed. The meeting was a place of business, she was bringing her friend along seemed fine to me. The email he sent wasn't threatening more taunting or trying to get me angry. It worked, would my reply be considered a threat?
What I think about spending 372$ to clean up America ain't S%^t. I'll be seeing you soon.
If you follow up you email with some sort of retaliation, it most certainly could be considered a premeditated act. Best to let it go.
His words have no power unless you give them power. Consider him just one more a$$ that we have do deal with in this world and follow Crash's advice. Let it go.
What am I missing? ....372$ to clean up America ain't S%^t....?Quote:

I don't even use freecycle any more....had too many people want free stuff delivered...and when you said no, they went off on what an a$$ whole I was....
Or all the 'wanted. Corvette....free.....
$372 is what it costs to get out of jail for simple assault.......don't ask me how I know...Yeah, I still got some growing up to do, when I get mad. Guess I'll go back to my projects now since I don't play well with others. The projects don't talk back.
no craigslist used here
CS, Just let it go. It sucks, I know. Some turd isn't worth all the issues that follow. Sometimes we all need to swallow our pride, make a few mental notes, and move onto something that is actually worth our energy and efforts. This thread is a good reminder to us all to keep our heads on a swivel in life.
Thanks for clearing that up.....Wise consul.......Quote:

So, no I don't use it, and don't really trust too many newspaper adds either.
The AG tires were as advertised cut tractor pulling tires with rims liquid filled for lawn tractor pullers. I got tired of getting stuck trying to tame the backwoods around here they are 1" taller and wider than the turf tires on my husky garden tactor. It is easy to set me off when a women or child is treated inappropriately and then to taunt me by email. Down in the swamp it is common to settle differences with your fists, now you know where the term redneck comes from. I've let it go though, he did not respond, I think he understood the second part I didn't post here. "See you soon!"
Be very careful with Craigslist... Never have someone come to YOUR home!! This site is a haven for scumbags! It is often used for "casing"... They end up not interested in whatever you had for sale... But you get robbed a few days later...
Where I'm from they also use it to kill vulnerable hookers... But that's a different story!
Not everyone on the site is scum, and there are some great deals... Just be sure to use your head, and be prepared for ANY eventuality.
This a familiar topic to me, not from Craig's list but from life in general. If you will allow me, I would like to broaden the subject a little, as there is a huge issue underlying this situation. Much of my life has been around justice and accountability and my role in it. It is impossible to ignore or condone threats and actions that are just plain wrong. We often use standards of ethics and moral issues to defend/justify taking action as we see fit.
Luckily I learned some valuable lessons before it got too far out of hand, and didn't risk my future, only by the grace of God. (no this is not a sermon)
It is wise to lower risk whenever possible. It is wise to pay attention to all that is around you. It is wise to forgive, when that is possible. It is wise to practice restraint, and let your words and presence lead your path, with a quiet vengeance that can be left unspoken. It is wise to seek respect out of others, instead of fear, although they will often exist together. You will never change a person's mind or actions with force, you will only raise the stakes, until one is more willing to risk freedom and independence for revenge, than to be the bigger person and let their hell be all their own and not yours.
One of my favorite movies of time that relates the impact of this issue is Alpha Dog, watch it, it is a true story.
Sorry for my wordiness and thanks to all who took the time to read.
Respectfully,

I gave this some thought a few years ago. The idea of someone coming to my home a few days later occured to me, and I started doing all my deals at a nearby gas station. However, if someone was able to get past my three dogs before they got a faceful of lead I would be outright shocked!Quote:

Dealing with you may be a different story.
You deal with dogs like you do Rick. You just toss them a few pieces of meat instead of a box of twinkies!Quote:

My dogs are black labs, so as to trip the bad guys, in the dark, then pick their pockets for treats......
Not guard dogs.
