Just sold my first car

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?

    I sold someone a tool box who tried to low ball me. He insisted lowering the price, and I lied and said another buyer said he can come in 30 minutes but will pay more. So this dude ends up coming through to pick it up. He paid more than its worth, and even bought misc. Tools I didn't need. After handing the money over to me, I helped him pack it all in his car as he kept going on and on about how it's all worth way less. (Mind you, he really tried to lowball me bad at first, and basically said he's done that to people repeatedly. He consequently told me he buys stuff and resells without noticing he had even done so. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Nothing wrong with that, but leading with a major lowball and then saying that just seemed in poor taste.) So he's all packed up, we shake hands, and he turns his car on ready to take off. I said oh hey, btw....there never [i]was[/i] a second buyer. I gave a bigass coolaid smile, said enjoy the rest of your weekend. The dude was speechless, and he didn't drive off for at [i]least [/i] 5 minutes.
