EDITOR'S NOTE: Craigslist flaggers - incompetent, useless, pathetic competitors - are ridiculous...and the fact Craigslist has not modified the whole flagging system in years or if ever, is also ridiculous. To disrupt competitors in order to try and gain advantage is just purely childish, and I will still win anyway. I don't have to flag my competitors to feel better about my chances of success, and am glad to see others in my area and in the same line of work clearly not feeling as good about themselves and their work - in other words, get the hell out of the resell business because you are clearly not cut out for it! I just had to let this out because it is a classless act, but moreso just a flat-out stupid nuisance. Merely only a waste of five minutes, though, - the time it takes to simply copy and paste the same flagged ad into a new post and submit again - and no time really for the antagonists to gain any sort of advantage. Idiots. :)
In case you were wondering which craigslist ad I posted and am referencing, it is directly below:
WANTED: Buyer / Seller of Vintage Electronic Handheld Games | (Central Ohio ONLY)
I am a local buyer and seller here in town and am currently looking for someone that wants to be our go-to person for any and all things vintage electronic handheld video gaming devices.
I am talking about any Radica games, Excalibur, and so on. I get a substantial amount in clumps, more so than not, and hardly ever just one here and there and we like to find a reseller to establish a good, working relationship with in the most simplest of terms and one which requires little time to turnaround profit on either of our ends of the sale.
We have buyers for many things already; typewriters, transistor radios, camera parts and accessories, et cetera, but have been needing a buyer for this particular category badly and just have not had the time in past months. We do now, but very limited and are hoping for a legitimate and serious buyer within the next week at most.
If you are interested, or know someone that may be please feel absolutely free to contact us at the email provided or phone us at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
We hope to hear from someone soon, we already have a nice sized and profitable lot to put in your hands.
FYI, we are in the business to make a profit just as anyone that may be interested in our proposal. Please know that we know you need to make money too, and is the reason we like dealing with only those that know and understand any and all particular niches in the resell world that we are referring to at the time. We do not expect to sell our niche item lots to our networked buyers at premium prices because that is stupid. Goal: so long as we can turnaround and sell the particular items to our key niche buyers in a 1 degree of separation sort of way, and zero inventory space taken, we will always price at 50% total profit potential or simply wheel and deal with our buyers for each lot we have available at any given time so long as we both are making it worth our while.
I can chat with anyone seriously interested on skype, twitter, facebook, or any other major social networking hub. We have business accounts on each and all.
Thank you for your time and interest.
