His earlier ad for the green ‘67 was angry and I’d never buy from him...At least he gave the super professional disclaimer of, “let’s wade through the bullsh*t.”

Hilarious!

You misunderstood his point. It was aimed at the companies that try to sign you up for their sales listing services and at the ever present scammers. The rest of the ad is fine.

I didn’t misunderstand anything; I can read and am well aware of scams.

Its just hilarious for a dude to post an ad that starts off angry.

Have a nice day.

I did not consider it angry at all. In fact I start EVERY Craig’slist ad I run with:
I will not respond to texts or emails due to scammers, you must CALL me. Anybody that has tried to sell anything these days knows the score and no one has ever said they consider it negative. Of course the scammers text or email anyway. He called it by it’s correct name, “bullshit.”

So, if you loved the car you would cut off you nose to spite your face because the seller was simply warning scammers in the opening statement of his ad?

I wouldn’t “love” the car as I wouldn’t read past the opening salvo.

Like most, I’m mildly interested.

I guess that means you would never read past the opening sentence of one of my CL ads even if you were interested in what I had for sale?

I guess that means you don’t read many books then either since many start out with similar statements such as what we are talking about here.

So I think it’s humorous that a fella posts an ad with that disclaimer so you’re questioning my intelligence? PM me and we can go offline.

I am not questioning your intelligence just your though process on this. I don’t get how you can’t understand that the seller is simply addressing the scammers in his opening sentence. No need for any further conversation about this.

I will help you, because this is really very simple.

An advertisement that is abrasive and combatative turns many of us off immediately. Verbiage I would use with a friend over a cocktail I wouldn’t put in print because it’s unseemly. It’s a car advertisement not a Hemingway novel.

What is not unseemly is stating the same intent in firm but polite terms at the end of a listing.
