Can this board agree? If you are trying to sell something or rent out an apartment at least attempt to spell things correctly... Really just makes me question your credibility... If I have a land lord that can't spell the name of the town his property is in....I don't want him as a landlord.

In the post I listed the person spells Regent Square wrong twice in different ways, the person also struggles with placement of the $ symbol and general phone number structure..

I have posted many Craigslist ads in my time (apartments included) and I always makes sure things are formatted correctly, aesthetically pleasing, and always in a polite and sincere tone. After that the phone rings off the hook.

People either don't know how the internet works or are just really bad at "customer" service.

Have had GREAT success on CL as a buy and seller. Sure there are some losers and scams, but they are pretty easy to spot.

Yeah, it's a great tool as long as you keep your "BULL" filter on, heh.

I love the housing ads that list a gigantic loft in "Pittsburgh" for like 400 a month, with no neighborhood listed and an out-of-state phone number (but a stock photo nicked from some real estate webpage somewhere).

hahahahaah I seriously cannot stop laughing at this... "CASH NOT HOLDEN 4 ANYONE THE HOUSE NEEDS ALOT THE PROPERTY IS HILLY BEHIND THE HOUSE BUT IS STILL BUILDABLE ON ALOT OF DEER AND TURKY GRATE HUNTING AND RIDEN LIKE I SAID HOSE NEEDS ALOT" he is really adamant about everyone knowing he is not "holden" for anyone and that he wants cash.... Sounds like a great piece of property.
