tl;dr of the conversation I've had with one.

Him: Hello, I noticed you're selling a Razer DeathAdder for $50, on eBay I see them selling for $30. I'll gladly buy it at that price.

Me: I don't see any Razer DeathAdders 2013 editions for $30, you're looking at the original DeathAdder that has an inferior sensor and all the $30 DeathAdders are from China so you're most likely to get a counterfeit. I see the 2013 revisions selling for $45 that's the lowest I'll go.

Him: What's the difference.

I send him a link.

Him: What mouse do you use and what's your DPI?

Me: My mouse has 1,000 DPI, the DeathAdder's 6,400 DPI

Him: I'm looking for a gaming mouse, 1,000 DPI is too low. $30

One time I found a prostitute on Craigslist. Turns out they were just a murderer pretending to be one.

It's Craig'slist. The whol reason people are on there is to find deals. Also, a great strategy for Craigslist is to give a ridiculously lowball offer under a fake email address then follow it up with a more reasonable offer under your real address.it's a great way to get the price you want.

Whats actually incredible is that they don't read.

They'll ask questions already answered in the posting.

It's America, people don't know how to read. I'm sure most people have never seen a book in their life.

I'm actually 100% sure that every American had seen a book in his or her lifetime, and most have even read at least one, if they even went to elementary school.
