Idiots on Craigslist

Okay this isn't a Thrifty Pick at all. But I am so tired of the people on Craigslist saying the stupidest shit.

Here we go:

http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcy/2601508815.html

I have a pair of STOCK Harley mufflers for sale. Picture, part number, and description in the ad. You'll notice I've modified the ad because I keep getting stupid emails/texts asking questions that are obviously answered in the ad.

One person asked if they were aftermarket. Google what "Stock" means buddy.
One person asked me what bike they were for. Dude the part numbers are in the ad.
One person was so bold as to ask why I had them. Noneofurfuckinbusiness.
I got tons of these with no offers to buy. Well, one guy offered but never showed up.

Today however, was a doozy of an interaction. This guy just didn't friggin' get it. For some reason he couldn't get it through his damned head that the "dents" in the mufflers are supposed to be there. They're manufactured into the muffler so when you mount them to the bike these go on, they clear the frame and don't rub. He kept saying he'd offer me $20 because they were damaged, or dented. I'm like dude, you can't offer less based on a feature. I explained it to him no less than four times that the dents are how they came. He might as well have been a brick wall. What's even stupider is his offers went up and down. Seriously. I'm just going to paste the conversation because it tells the story by itself:

+14057590502: How much for your mufflers since they are dented 9:47 AM
Me: They are not dented... 10:29 AM
Me: Those are shaped that way so it fits the bike curves 10:29 AM
+14057590502: Oh so how much do you want for them 10:45 AM
Me: Make an offer.... 10:45 AM
+14057590502: well since they have a small dents ill give you 20? 10:46 AM
Me: They don't have ANY dents.....why don't you get that? 10:47 AM
Me: And no. I can send them off for more than that 10:47 AM
+14057590502: Well give me a base price so i know where to start 10:52 AM
Me: Retail on them is 288 per side. That's 576 total. Ill sell them for 200 total. 10:55 AM
+14057590502: would you take 125 for the small dent in the side i see in the picture 10:57 AM
Me: (1/2) Dude you aren't getting it. Those dents are normal.....they are manufactured that way so it clears the under side of the bike. Its not damage, its built t 11:01 AM
Me: (2/2) hat way 11:01 AM
Me: That's why the recess is in the same place on both mufflers... 11:05 AM
+14057590502: AHH i see how do you think it would cost to take the recess's out 11:06 AM
Me: I don't know, they are manufactured that way. They face the inside of the bike so u won't see them anyways 11:08 AM
+14057590502: So since they have a manufacture defect of a dent would you do 100 11:09 AM
+14057590502: sorry i meant 175 11:13 AM
Me: Its not a defect 11:18 AM
Me: They are made that way. Its curved to fit the harley. please stop acting like they're messed up. They are stock. Google the, its NORMAL 11:19 AM
+14057590502: So will they fit my suzuki intruder with those dents on there 11:20 AM
Me: You tell me, I don't own a suzuki or any bikes 11:21 AM
+14057590502: Why do you have an exhaust? 11:21 AM
Me: Because my friend told me to sell it 11:22 AM
+14057590502: Did you ask him if he laid the bike over twice and dented the exhaust? 11:27 AM
Me: Dude forget it, you are gettng the message 11:28 AM
Me: I'm tired of telling you they are not damaged. Google the model numbers and you will see they are designed that way 11:29 AM
+14057590502: what is the lowest you will take 11:31 AM
Me: Already told you. You aren't listening 11:31 AM
+14057590502: will you take 150 11:31 AM
Me: I'm going to block your number because you are not listening to me at all. I said 200. Not 20, not 100, or 150. 11:33 AM

What's even funnier is he said he understood halfway through, then went back to not getting it at all.

Please, go crawl back under that rock you came out, I'm done dealing with retards.
