I posted a set of four wheels and tires off my sisters Dodge Durango on let go and craigslist. Tire size, wheel size, and price. Every. Single. Message. 'What size are they?' Will they fit my (same year Dodge Durango'

I usually end any Craigslist ads with some sort of question that prospective buyers have to answer in their responses to me.

Such as: How many stripes on the US flag? What color are the stars on the US flag? Etc.

It weeds out the bots and most of the stupid people who can't follow instructions.

If you think that's bad, try selling them.

Customer: "Now the Sahara model can only be used for sand and stuff right?"

Me: "Not at all, where did you hear that?"

Customer: "Uhh from the name. Sahara, meaning desert edition"

Yes this really happened :doh:

Yeah, I work with the public, everyday, so I hear all kinds of stuff. If you think about average intelligence, at least half of the population would have to be below average intelligence.

We had a guy come in wanting to look at a new Durango. He wanted to know if his whole family could comfortably fit in it on road trips so he brought all of his suit cases they take on trips AND, no joke, four mannequins to sit in the car during the test drive. I had to sit in the third row with a mannequin.

No. That's awesome. I mean, you got to buy with confidence. Where did he get the mannequins?

I feel your pain. I've got a bunch of stuff for sale on craigslist right now to fund addtional Jeep parts for EJS. The responses and back and forth with some of these people drives me crazy. Told my wife it's like having another full time job with a bunch of idiots.
