I posted some saltwater fish for sale on Kijiji. Based on the replies I got so far, it scares me to think what garbage I'll have to wade through when I list the targa.

I think I can expect the following:

From: joe@joe.com
Hi, is your house included?

From jack@jack.com
It's Sally from Cars! Can you drive it to my house so you can drive me in it? My kids want me to get my license someday. Maybe we could get some groceries on the way. Pls reply asap. Tx

From jacques@jacques.com
Are you ever come at France, Belgium or Luxembourg??? If so, I'll take your black sport car...

From adam@adam
Are you selling any engines?

From porschedude@porsche.du

Kijiji makes me concerned for humanity. It indicates just how many fully grown "adults" are dumb as a post and borderline illiterate. I post free stuff on there occasionally. The first line always reads "if you're reading this, it's still available, please do not email. (I NEVER list a phone # for free stufff) I'll remove the ad as soon the item is gone". Inevitably, I still receive at least one or two emails asking if it's still available. Or if I'll deliver it.

However, with cars, I've had better luck, especially when I sold the 86 911. I had few, if any, flakes, dreamers and tire kickers. The only time I've dealt with losers when selling cars is when we get rid of repos.

Christien im confused .. if your giving away free stuff, telling people not to email you and not giving your phone number .. i gotta think you still have your free stuff

No, I post the address and leave it on the front lawn. Recently got rid of an old baby gate and dead amp that way. Better than sending it landfill.

I would post my neighbors address and leave it on their lawn

but I do have a spare Gmail account for this kind of nonsense

I just did this recently, I've dealt with way too many idiots on Kijiji... There are some good folks out there too but at least 50% of them waste my time. My wife also read some news about some Kijiji deal that went bad not too far from here, and that's enough to make her paranoid.. So now I stick to a fake name, email communication only and try to meet somewhere convenient rather than give out my address. Too many weirdos out there.

Well, I just posted it on Kijiji. Bring on the crazies!

I'll keep you updated with only the best stories.

Post the add so I can send you a really good one.

I trolled BioBanker on Kijiji a few weeks ago....I wonder what he'll pay me for NOT posting the exchange...

I was just thinking of this thread while browsing the kijiji ads.

This one is a classic:

No pics, AWD (um, what?), spelling in description (not to mention lack of detail...)

Red!

Wheels - Turbo twists, black, with a little rash but true.

"Of course anyone who could afford a Porsche would be telling the truth about their wheels....what did you do to treat rash?"

Red!

I'm sure he'll take a cash deposit to "hold" it so you can come and inspect it

BioBanker

LOL - if you call my single short email describing the wheels that I was selling, followed by multiple ridiculous emails from you (I knew it was you!) as an exchange, then that explains why you're always talking to yourself!

Im still selling my stock 996TT twists.

Should I tell them about my Kijiji troll of you for the yellow brakes that you lust after? Now that was an exchange!
