Just thought I'd start the day out with a rant...
I'm sick an tired of people on Craigslist (and other marketplaces) putting $1 for the price on expensive items just so it shows up in everyone's search even when you're trying to exclude expensive items. Some recent examples:
Drill Press - $1: Like new, used maybe 2 times. Powermatic drill press. Model PM2800B. Make me an offer. Brand new if you check that model number they go for $1500. I know mine is "used" so make me a decent offer and we have business.
2016 Cannondale Road bike (56cm), Ultegra Group-set - $1: Caad12 frame, Maveric Ksyrium Pro weels, rides like a dream, never in an accident, ridden less than 500 km. Comes with Garmin GPS Cyclometer. Paid $2300 a few years ago, asking $1400 firm. Do not waste my time with lowball offers, this is a sweet ride and it's worth the price.
... and so on. There's never a category where someone (usually multiple someones) are trying to sell things for a lot of money, but they still put "$1" in the damn list price. It just makes me want to call them up, ask to meet, and then offer then $1. When they get mad I'll be like "oh, but title of the ad said $1! I didn't bother reading the description".
I wonder if I could win this in small-claims court. Brick and mortar stores can't get away with advertising something as "$1" - only to put "actually it's $1500" in the fine print. Maybe I could get a sweet racing bike and a drill press 12x more powerful than what I need for eight quarters and an afternoon or two at the district court. Nah, that would be a shitty thing to do. Kind of like generating web traffic by advertising something as "$1".
ETA: I thought I'd outsmarted all those jerks by simply setting my minimum price at $2. Nope. I found a Ford Mustang GT for $2 (except price was "$18500 FIRM"
)
