Kijiji,CL etc rant

I just have to rant don't take this thread as much but I just need to get this off my chest and this is no way reflective of MCB in any way.

Why is it that people on the internet especially on CL, kijiji etc feel that they have the right to make offers make someone a deal back out of said deal then go oops sorry after they've wasted your time after you've shot down other offers cause you thought it was gone. potentially wasted your gas driving to them or w/e. Just pisses me off some times. I swear I'm going to try and get places like CL and kijiji to make accounts mandatory and instate a feedback system that way at least if people backed out of deals a ton feedback would be horrible and they would be ruined like they should be. People in a place like kijiji or CL need to be real men do your deals and stick to them.

CL,Kijiji etc can rot in hell for all I care now

sorry I was rather peeved off when I typed that. kijiji is similar to craigslist but a little bit nicer interface same concept though. I guess I was just ranting at why people feel that over the internet they have the right to be idiots and jack you around make deals waste your time etc.

just pisses me off

Yep. I posted an N64 package up there over the weekend. I had plenty of "interest"... and since I didn't leave the house all weekend, I replied within 30 seconds to any inquiry... after their initial email, I got no replies (except for one guy who left his number) so I called him, and made it sound like there was a buzz over it, and that cash in hand rules... so he drove right over and picked it up... but the first dozen people never even replied after asking if it was available, and me replying "yes"

yea that was my experience too. I actually had a deal today for my modded PSP for a modded 360 with some burned games. guy turns around gets home from work after we had a deal and I turned down hitting the clubs with a friend cause I thought he was going to show up. he backs out and sells it on me

People are ***ed up

I never get too upset about these things....typically Karma tends to bite the people in the end eventually.

On a side note I had a nice young lad buy my PSP off of me today which was arranged over Kijiji.
