Those of us buying the non-fecal matter, and selling the non-fecal matter, have to wade through it.

It's part of the intellectual overhead we pay for what we convince ourselves is free.

Doesn't matter. I still go there every single stinking day.

Looking for fecal matter, I guess.

Man - you haven't lived until you try to shop for a decent, newish mountain bike. I swear - I never had such a hard time nailing someone down to give them money. No pictures, no sizes, poor communication skills, haphazard approach to actually meeting and selling their bikes. I called on one bike, and he never called back. But the ad keeps expiring and being relisted. I've watched it though 3 cycles - the words changa a little bit, but same pics, phone number, and location.

It was a painful 3 week process, but I finally got one stoner on the hook long enough to actually meet me and exchange his bike for my cash. But it was nip and tuck, all the way to the wire.

If I never hear the phrases "text me" or "hit me up" again, it'll be too soon.
