Correction: You can TRY to sell anything on craigslist. Sounds like these guys failed.

oh no the cops let em complete the sale its right after that that it went downhill fast. sad thing is for 225 i might have bought it myself if i had seen it and i haven't had a drink in 18 years.

Ah, but does it truly count as a completed sale when the guys you sold it to arrest you and take back the money?

pffft... I've been trying to sell some 3rd-row seats for an 07-10 Yukon/Denali/Tahoe/Suburban for almost three months. Nice ones, too. Leather and in perfect condition. Half the price you'd pay for new ones and the only diff between new and these is they don't come in a box labeled "Chevrolet". Any takers? Any at all? Even a question about them? None.

Well, Brad, I had much better luck with Craigslist. After we got moved in here last May, I put an ad on Craigslist offering all of the moving boxes we had--we spent a few hundred dollars on boxes and packing---for free. The boxes went in a few hours.

It was so successful that I had people emailing as late as October, asking if I still had the boxes.

Yeah, I've sold a couple things on Craigslist, too. Given the preponderance of large GM SUV's in this part of the country I would think that someone would need the dang seats. Nope. Not even so much as a "would you consider trading for..." question.

I still have a bridge (a no-kidding railroad trestle bridge!). Maybe I should try and sell that. Probably go viral and I'd have all the news networks calling for more info. Someone in Japan would probably buy the thing for millions.

I don't know how common it is for people to swap out seats. I sold the factory wheels and tires from my Mustang, and they went a couple hours after I posted.

Brad Johnson · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2011, 02:41:32 AM »

I'm thinking of people who bought a used Tahoe/Denali/Suburban/Yukon with no 3rd row seats, or seats that had been pulled out and store improperly (mice, rats, water damage, etc). Seeing as how there's only 'bout a million of the dang SUV's on the road in these parts, surely someone needs some good seats.

This. I took down the ads for our free moving stuff, once we were done and it was all gone, and I was STILL getting calls for like a week or two. How's THAT work???

Our extra furniture from the old place, just before the move, went pretty quick. Less than two weeks for two beds, a large dresser, a medium dresser, a cedar hope-chest, some cheap bookshelves, a old sectional sofa... the TV and stand made the move with us but got taken soon after being re-posted. AND I picked up a light eat-in kitchen type table and chairs for $50 back in April '09, which we're still using and show no sign of quitting.

I'm a pretty big fan of Craigslist.

Craigslist! Did someone say Craigslist?

Heh, there's an app for that.

I wonder if you could sue CraigsList for breach of sales contract?.....

Joseph Chraska was charged with a second felony, manufacturing alcohol while armed, and a misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana.

Because it could get confusing if someone asks for a "shot"...

Because, like, everyone knows alcohol is eleventy times more intoxicating if the guy who made it was wearing a gun at the time.

Judicial piling on was alive and well in prohibition too, I guess an early example of enhanced sentences for gun owners.

Your seats/vehicle is probably so new that nobody needs the seats yet.

Most people I know driving Suburbans (including my father) are driving mid '90s through early 2000s year vehicles.

craigslist you can sell ANYTHING

I have twelve rolls of Shaw Silent Step underlayment for laminate floors that say otherwise. And a lightly-used Rigid coil nailer with case and 25' of hose.

They are still for sale, and priced to move.

cassandra and sara's daddy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2011, 10:14:32 PM »

what you want for the nailer?

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2011, 10:45:56 PM »

150 or best offer. We used two guns for a ten square roof, so I figure it's had about five square of mileage on it.

craigslist was the birthplace of my handle "gunsmith" they hated me in 03,02, 001 ( I was new to the net & didn't know about forums like THR )

I would argue in favor of gun rights and question why it was ok to fund raise for move on org but not NRA.
I would get endless personal attacks, which they were fine with but any gunnie who fired a personal attack back was permabanned.

I was really riled at them for not allowing legal gun sales but allowing ads for "massage parlors" that were getting busted for trafficking underage Asian girls.

When craigslist finally bowed to pressure & removed the adult/erotic section I was heartily amused to hear backpages.com made millions - they don't edit out gun sales like the progressive pimps at CL does.

Craig Newmark is such a D bag. ( btw now that CL is so big , you can find guns for sale, if you don't flag them they don't get removed, like they used to in the old days )
