Funny how adding an e to the end of cut makes a world of difference...

Sort of like adding an 'E' to the end of 'Big' makes a world of difference... right?

I guess it depends if it is a big E or little e.

Dying but still standing large elm tree can be yours to fell and cut/split up the way you like. No other trees, utility lines or buildings in the way.
Ground is froze and little snow helps protect damage to my large country front lawn. Easy access from road. No miss out, respond quickly.

seems like a 2 way win for both parties! ,he gets his dutch elm infested tree cut and removed off his front lawn instead of paying a professional tree service to remove his debris and in return you get 40-50 bucks worth of punky junk wood ,thats is after you pay him 250 bucks and sweat your arse off all day :monkey:

Another Real Bargain

(But only if you have insurance. This guy must expect a real Tree Service Co. to do this for free)

Another Craigslist idiot!

When I was just learning the ropes....I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for wholesale firewood, This man responds and stated he had about 10 cords of Eucalyptus and agreed to buck it into 16" rounds and I agreed to pay $60 a cord, This was about 100 miles away and when I got there with my big truck and trailer he showed me a pile of twigs! maybe enough to fill the trunk of a Chrysler! He really thought he was gonna get $600 BUCKS FOR THAT! I came back with nothing and spent over $100 for the trip.
Chock that up for a costly Craigslist learning experience

This dooshbag advertises "Oak Bundles $1"
Then you look at the ad and there is nothing for $1. Just "bundles" for about a dollar per piece of wood. Pics of a fractured oak tree and a fire he made the last time he camped...what a joke. To top it off he has a West LA phone number, I didnt know there were oak trees in Santa Monica along the beach!!
Ashwipe! Stoopid citidiots havent got a clue...bet he sells the crap outta of it too...suckers...$600 bucks for a cord?!!!!
SUCKERS!

Flag it.

You can flag CL postings that are deceptive/misleading, or 'too commercial'.

I try to flag those right away,even better usually after a couple beers,a email or phone call since they wasted my time already as well.:censored:

Yeah, I flag every one that I see that is $1. Sometimes I set my min price to $2 just so I don't see those, if I'm doing a search. The worst is when they say "best offer" and then later "don't low-ball me - I know what my saws are worth". LOL. Obviously if they knew what the saws were worth, they'd be posting a price.

Around here there is a car dealership that posts hundreds of cars online every day, no price anywhere. I was looking for a car, and had to filter out all of those postings. No way I'm going to talk to a salesman just to get a price. I don't play that game.

I also flag if people post multiple items in one listing, post all caps, don't post a location. Problem is that these people are generally too stupid to figure out why their posting got flagged. But hey, if they tricked me into opening it up, the least I can do is flag it.

 

[Philbert]

Problem is that these people are generally too stupid to figure out why their posting got flagged.

I don't know if it is stupid or don't care. If you consider the spam approach, only a tiny percent needs to get through to reach a target and be effective. So if you get tired of flagging, and the CL guy has more perseverance, he wins.

It's a low risk deal for the ethically challenged crowd. No listing fees. Repost at will. Get a new handle if banned. etc.

It's like picking up litter, shoveling snow, raking leaves, etc. Might not want to do it as a full time job, and you know that it will need to be done again soon. But if everybody does their little part it leads to a nicer neighborhood.

JMHO
