Yep. Have a gmail account just for that. Most common email sent says "you have an extra zero in your price"

Seriously, though, when I see someone say that something "needs replaced" or "needs restored" as in this ad http://nashville.craigslist.org/boa/2760584152.html (and LOTS of posts here) it kinda makes my skin crawl! :D
IT NEEDS RESTORING!!! IT DOESN'T NEED SOMETHING FROM THE PAST!!!
:p
Sorry, my GF has her degree in English...

Glad he mentioned the trailor. I thought it was floating in mid air. :p
When the exhaust system is the biggest selling point, you know you have a problem!

Or when the seller assures you that it's not stolen! No title, but it's on the internet, so it must be true!

This is an 18 or 20 footer that needs some work. It does have the engine and the hull has no damage, but the interior needs some work. I do not have a trailer for it. $200 OBO.


?Location: Union

I GOT A BOAT SITTING AT A FRIENDS HOUSE JUS WAISTING NEEDS WORK BUT WILL BE GREAT ON WATER MY BOAT DOES RUN BUT DOES NOT HAVE TITTLE I DO HAVE THE BILL OF SALE I HAVE NO TIME AND HATE TO SEE IT GO TO WAIST WANNA TRADE FOR A COUPLE OF DECENT ATVS OR ONE BIG ATV N ONE SMALLER ATV OR JUST ONE AWSOME ATV CALL DAVE AT 505-XXX-XXXX

I'm not sure whether the lack of "tittle" on a boat (especially one that is "waisting") is a plus or a minus.

I wonder if this guy will take 3 half decent tiny ATVs and an awsome ATV gas tank? If not, I may have to throw in an awsome miniture ATV.

Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

Maybe the forum needs a section modeled after the auto parts store TV commercials of "Don't be THAT guy!" when forum members list their boat on Craigslist, Ebay, etc.?
