Yeah. Like effing today. Was supposed to trade my albino Bristlenose pleco and loach for congo tetras. Punk female dog no shows. Called and texted many times. After texting to him/her karma will get you. When you really need or want something and some one does the same thing you did to me.  Then she/he text  I was at hospital.

It's craigslist, people... what do you expect? =P That's why we have forums like this, to weed out through all the flakes. lol.

But seriously, take it with a grain of salt. Never expect someone to go through with the plants, until you've met up with them in person. Hahaha...

Man. Most of the ppl I met on Craigslist are now members here like denizaari, freddieb, and NYK. Then they also brought ppl they met on craigslist here to fishbox. Its like hit and miss. Sometimes you get cornflakes and sometimes you get real people.

Lots of flakes out there but at the same time have met a ton of nice people who have no clue about us here on the fishbox. I tell everyone I meet about it, are you guys doing the same?

 

[DMD123]

I dont know why my computer wanted to double post, so this one I just edited to say, remind people about fishbox!   

 

[Missgrumpygills]

I have been fortunate with my CL dealings. Have dealt with nice folks and have gotten very good deals on 55g, 75g, and now a 90g show tank that all came with stands and other items. :cheers:  The times I didn't hear back from someone, I just assumed that the item was already sold.

I'm looking forward to getting the 90g show tank set up, it's going to be perfect for my big angels! Now, I just need to figure out how to rehome their gorgeous babies...

I run into enough flakes on here.  Folks contact me about buying, I take a good amount of time to respond in detail, and I never get a response back.  :| 

I shudder to think how bad it is on craigslist...

That's just ppl not interested in your item or sold item already. CL flakes are when ppl arrange to meet to do transaction and one never shows up. That's cornflakes I mean CL flakes.

While I do understand the distinction, they're both flakes and they both waste your time.
