How not to sell something on Craigslist

[katfco]

I've been emailing CL sellers about jogging strollers and asking several questions so I don't waste my time and theirs with an in person meeting. Here's an exchang I had with one person, selling a stroller at 35.

My message:
I am interested in the stroller you have listed and have a few questions.

1. What brand is the stroller?

2. How old is it?

3. Is there a hand brake?

4. Is there a wrist strap?

5. Does the front wheel lock and unlock?


The response: "It's cheaper than all the others on Craigslist because the wheel is a fixed wheel. I'm assuming that's important to you so I'm not going to answer the other questions."

So I guess this person isn't really interested in selling the stroller?

People are dumb.

Too bad you aren't local to me, I think I'm going to sell mine.

Yeah, shipping might be a bit much.

Good questions, I might steal them. I found a double bob today for $100 but I think I am too lazy to go get it. It looks old too.
