What the hell is with these idiots selling computers on Craigslist? They put such little effort into the description I can’t for the life me believe they will ever sell. I can only assume they bought the thing with as little knowledge as they are are now trying to sell it with.
Titles like this…
dell dimension 8200 - $175
Inside you find…
175 or best offer
That is it. Can’t they at the very least add some sort of information.
Then there is this one. Title reads…

And inside…

Well at least there is some information. The fact that is it red will sell this baby. I don’t even know why I opened this as it is out of my price range anyway.
Then we go on to this one…

Uh a little help here. Ghz?, GIG? RAM? CD? DVD? USB? Any actual specs might help a tad.
I am so frustrated. I want to get a decent used system in my price range but I am ready to poke my eyeballs out looking at ads like this.
I know there is more of a selection on ebay but the shipping costs put me over the top of my budget. I know there are refurbished ones out there but again they are more expensive that I want to spend. I have even looked in the local paper and I got ads that tell me they have a black and grey tower for $100. Am I suppose to hold the ad to my head and the specifcations will meld into my brain.
I just want to find a decent used computer for about $250 bucks and I can’t seem to find one. :mad:
