through Craigslist and wouldn't you know as soon as I've got the cash in my pocket and the title handed over the car won't start. Luckily it was just the battery that needed a little charge, but it left me in an awkward position for a few minutes as I'm trying to get the car to start again.
Have you ever had any mishaps or interesting interactions with people trying to buy or sell things through Craigslist or another similar website?

Now that I have some extra cash I'm debating getting a new PC or some kind of firearm, any suggestions on either?

There was one time selling a car something of note happened. My Cutlass wasn't actually for sale, but anything can be had for a price. One afternoon a guy knocked on my door wanting to look the car over. Whatever, I was bored, so sure...I show him around. Then he starts talking like he knows the car better than I do. Colour codes, Engine codes, VIN...I know the game...he wanted to heckle for a low price. He was rather argumentative about the matter and seemed insulted every time I held my ground on price. The final straw was when he told me it couldn't be original engine. Yeah...it was a numbers matching 350 rocket, 4bbl, turbo 350 car. So I kicked him off my property. Hey man...you knocked on my door. Bring cash to show if you want to negotiate. Don't be hostile, either. [i]No car for you![/i]
