LOL. Also, pretty good deal on the bike. Good thing I didn't buy that jacket earlier, or I would have both them both!

Replied to an ad 4 days ago, for some old school Tonka trucks for my daughter. I want her to have quality **** like I had, not this plastic garbage of today. Still no reply. Getting ready to bulldoze every house with seller's postal code.
Posted some hard saddlebags on Kijiji a few days ago. Get a reply an hour later. A couple exchanges and says he's a couple hours away etc. Said we'd see if we could meet up as I was planning on going that way next week.
Yesterday get a text that he's in town picking up a bike, can he come by. 2 hours later comes in garage, looks at bags, hands me asking price (what I paid for them used, I never used them), says thanks and goes on his merry way.
Why can't everything be so pleasant?
He also promised to send a pic when they were installed

Yup... peeps on Kijiji can be annoying...
They'll ask if item is still available. I reply... Yes. Never hear back from them again. At one point I added a statement saying if ad is still up, item is still available.
Also, most want the item delivered... 'You' want it, 'you' pick it up. The gall of some people!

Just FYI, if filling out an ad and you just put the city like "toronto" it fills in the postal code automatically (I guess the center of toronto). Use caution with the bulldozer
When I was the seller, the buyers wanted me to deliver... When I was buyer, the seller wanted me to go to them... Both ways, I put out the time, effort, and fuel? Something wrong with that picture...

I'm curious to know as well, if priced right its crazy how quick they sell. I sold a 2000 V6 Accord that also had just over 250K, the transmission was starting to go again, the CV axle was making noises, there was a stone chip in the windshield and some dumbass landscapers backed into the corner of my rear bumper with a bobcat (They paid me for it but I left it as is). I advertised it with safety for $1500, first guy started calling in a couple hours and came the next day. Told me he'd buy it, I went to get the saftety and emissions done and mechanic said for the cost to make it pass just take a couple hundred bucks off and sell it as is. The guy was still happy to buy it for $1250.00
lol, I know exactly how you feel. I was over at my cousins and his 3 year old son was playing with this old school all metal Campbells truck. It caught my eye because it looked old as hell but still in great condition and wasn't that plasticky Fisher Price crap. I looked it over and saw it had a 1982 date stamp. I asked my aunt about it and she's just like "Oh yea, that's your cousin's from when he was kid, years back he told me not to throw it out and that some day his kids would play with it I never thought it would actually happen..." With the stuff we have nowadays I couldn't expect anything lasting that long.
Even the consoles of old were bulletproof. My buddy has a Nintendo, Super Nintendo and N64 and they all still work no problem, at most you have to blow in the games. If you look at the failure rate of today's systems you're lucky to get 5 years problem free.

Do all of you guys still do deals at your house if selling?
A few years back when I started buying/selling guns and ammo (legally of course, I have a PAL), I always met the buyer/seller at a public place that also sells guns and ammo... like Lebaron or Sail.
Since I got in that habit, I started doing that for everything I sell. If the buyer is coming to me, I meet near a bank. Banks have lots of security cameras if things go bad, and the buyer has a harder time claiming to not have the cash if there is a bank right there.
I think next time I sell a bike, I will just trailer it to a local plaza and meet potential buyers there... that way they don't know where the bike is parked at night so the risk is minimized.
Police stations in the US have started allowing people to do Craigslist sales in their parking lots... I like that idea: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/27/39558...open-up-safe-lots-for-craigslist-transactions

Portable things, I'd meet somewhere. Big or things that need to be powered, I'm ok at home.
Hmmmm...that sounds remarkably similar to what you said your marriage was like!
