  • Prices Gone Crazy On Craigslist

    If you have any idea of what the market will bear as far as equipment goes,
    you will know that some people just don't have a clue .
    They post equipment with retail prices and sometimes even more as seen here:


    Is that just plain stupid or naive?

    Is that expensive?

    It sounds about right if the person paid retail for it.

      Price on box is $119, seller wants $125...

      Point being, if item is listed at retail price why not
      just buy it from the store brand spanking new.

        The rest could be sales tax?

          That's funny they didn't even remove the price tag. Tax on 120 would be $9.90

                Saw that one myself yesterday and was thinking the same thing. Seen alot of items on there lately you could go out and buy brand new for what the sellers are wanting.

                    Same thing as NEPCO charging a "gas surcharge" on all purchases. I went yesterday and my rock was about 30 pounds. It costs .59 a pound. After taxes and fees I paid about $27. Huh?

                      Is this surprising? Craigslist is where I post stuff I'm asking too much for because I would be too embarrassed to ask that much for it here on the fishbox. Fishbox always gets a cheaper price so if I need cash or I'm just testing the waters it goes on craigslist. Sometimes I post it just for fun. I did that with my hard-to-find S&W M&P Shield 9mm on Gunbroker just to see if I would get any bites. When it costs nothing to post something, you're gonna get people doing stupid things.

                          I emailed her and I told her she was retarded to point at the price and then price it higher. Needless to say I got a nasty reply back
