    I heard it’s only 2,500-3,000 a month for a one bedroom, so it might be a bit more than 9yrs…beautiful place to live but crazy expensive.

    Cost’s were taken into consideration, it’s all in how you negotiate, making it all relative… keeping the cabin by Mille. mrgreen

    I figure if Pug made the move to Florida and he seems normal

    I wasn’t sure what to call BS on first, Pug being considered normal or you moving to Maui, so I’m calling BS on both! rotflol

    You handled this with much more understanding than I would nham. Not sure if he told you he would hold it or not, but if he knew you were driving that far, he should at the very least allowed a counter offer from you while you were in transit. I personally will not set up to show to more than one person at a time. Prevents this issue entirely. I purchased a boat off CL that was a 500 mi drive in winter. It went well. I sold that boat a few years later on cl to a guy who lives 600 miles away. It went well. NO reason for people to put money before honor.

    Last boat I sold on cl went 375 miles away. Negotiations went by text and phone calls. Had 2 backup buyers to call if deal went south. Both wanted to beat the first guy there or pay $100 bucks more to jump the line to get the boat. I don’t operate that way but that’s just me maybe.

    THIS^^

    I’ve probably sold hundreds of items through clist and have NEVER been stuck with the item-even when the first guy/girl is flakey and no shows. There is always another buyer. And I can’t say its cost me any money-just a little time. For big dollar items or when I’m driving to meet a buyer (and investing more of my time) I insist on a phone number-a simple conversation will often tell you if someone is serious or not. Just throwing this out there because I’m saddened to see so many forum members who’ve clearly been burned in the past and who have “policies” that I’d be reluctant to deal with in the future.

    Thanks sticker… devil People sell stuff for MANY reasons and sometimes, TIME is a major factor. Case in point, my last item on CL… chest freezer, about 4 years old, 14.8 cubic foot. Ad says first $50 and able bodied person to help load it out of my walkout basement owns it. After MANY emails answering stupid questions, finally hook up with a guy who evidently was picking it up for his daughter who emailed me. He was coming from about an hour away… told him I would hold it for him… he showed up. He was an elderly gentlemen… we carried the freezer out, taking a couple breaks. Now this is where it gets good. It’s in his pick-up, its strapped down and he says “will you take $40 for it?” rotflol rotflol rotflol obviously this guy does not buy stuff on-line very often… I pictured him carrying it back down for $10 and said, naw, I gotta have the $50. Now the funny part is, if we were in the basement and he said, “would you take $25″… I would have, it HAS TO GO !!! I almost wanted to tell him how to negotiate in the future, but didn’t want to embarrass him either. SO GLAD to be done with CL. Aloha ! peace
