Starting to hate CL...

Post by wikked_spree57 »

I'm trying to get this Elite 50 on craigslist, it's making me mad cause people never post phone numbers.

And half the time if I email those people, just like this one, I get no reply.

I seriously just want to smash something right now. I really want to get an elite, but one of two things happen, when theres no number you get no answer, if there's a number the price is twice that of what it was new.

So at this point in time Craigslist can kiss my white *.


Hope you guys got a laugh, I needed to vent. :2thumbs: :thumbwink:

well craigs can be a headache but there are MAJOR bargains to be had on there. I got my spree for a smokin price off of craigs list. You just have to be willing to be patient and put up with some wasted time to get the deals. One thing I have learned though is when a good deal comes up you have to be ready to go with cash in hand. The good deals usually sell first day and sometimes first hour or two.

LOL... IDK Sometimes I get super annoyed for reasons like that. Turns out the dude I messaged called ten minutes after I posted this, so I kindly take it all back.


I bought a 1997 Elite 50, but for some reason, they blew the AF16, and planted an AF05 on it, that was rebuilt by the dealership who knows nothing about anything. I cleaned the carb and fired it up, it runs very very rough and has this horrible rattle in the top end.

So I got the base of it, motors come around.

I'm just ashamed I traded the Passport for it, but * I wanted a freakin' Elite. and now I got one.

Maybe if you had some way to constructively use your time (ie: a job) you wouldn't spend all day on Craigslist trying to trade your worthless crap for other peoples worthless crap.
