Greatest Troll, Deal, or Mess Up? Is this it?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Greatest Troll, Deal, or Mess Up? Is this it?

i posted a craigslist add that i am a student-worker looking to buy a sram rival group, but that i would need a little while to save for it, just looking to see if there were potential sellers...

so someone makes a reply post saying they upgraded to red and to hurry up and contact them to get it FOR FREE before they change their mind...

they have no contact info. so it sounds like a troll or deal...and then i check my post and realize

that I ACCIDENTALLY HID MY CONTACT INFO!

now there are several other posters looking for the free rival group...

what have i done?

Since when does Craigslist let you post replies to ads outside of email/telephone?
