I did this yesterday, but not with a car. Someone was selling a bigger brake kit and a new gear set for $1000 on craigslist for about 6 months now, ad never changes. Yesterday I saw he set the price to $1250.



And that was it. Sorry it wasnt more interesting.

https://buffalo.craigslist.org/pts/6019599606.html

I'm super tempted to email him from my burner gmail (Dirk Ickles @ gmail) to ask if he'll take $1300. I also have a feeling Fred Uckphase would like to get in on this bidding war. :haw:

Not car related but I saw a similar thing happen when I was looking for a rotisserie for my old weber grill. The guy was selling one minus the bracket for 45, I countered with 40 because the bracket would cost $15 shipped and I didn't want to spend more than $55ish. The ad stayed up for a year.

Unfortunately, it's the default sig on iPhones. If you don't know to change it, you look like a pretentious rear end.

Not to further drag out this derail but it's a quite useful means of letting the recipient know why your email might be short / have typos, especially in a business context

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

You can get 312 feet above sea level in Florida and still be on the ground. The road is perfectly straight. Walmart parking lot is your best choice of venue.

gently caress having something $45 listed for sale for over a year. I'd either have taken anything for it well by then or just thrown/given it away to get rid of it. Sometimes hit "see other items from this seller" on kijiji and it's crazy the amount of junk some people are looking for <$5 on.
