People on Craigslist are cheap. It's why they're on Craigslist!

(I love Craigslist, but I am cheap.)

I’m rich and people rarely think I am because I’m from the PacNW and dress like it. But what does that have to do with the price of tea on Craigslist?

Ew, never buy tea off Craigslist!

Because they spend too much time on DCUM.
Because they aren't really rich. You are not really rich if your money come from being cheap.

What does this have to do with anything

Rich people don't sell things on craigslist. I don't consider myself rich but if something is under $500 I throw it away.

I don't buy off Craig's List but I buy a lot of my clothes at consignment shops or on used clothes websites or on Ebay where I also sell things. It's a sport! I love having a nice wardrobe but only paying 20%. It's not cheap, it's smart. I'd rather fly first class wearing an Armani blazer I spent $100 on than wearing a $1,000 blazer and flying in coach.

I hate selling on Craigslist because of the haggling. But when I do use Craigslist to sell, I always write FIRM next to the price to discourage haggling. I honestly believe that some people on Craigslist haggle and buy stuff they probably don't need for entertainment or psychological reasons. It's like a form of gambling. They get some kind of high out of scoring a "deal." I personally think it's tacky and never haggle myself.

And then there's the folks who never shop up after making an appointment with you or write "Interested" but never follow up...

Not being retail, sure. But haggling is unnecessary. I don’t because of how I source.

I know many rich people, and I’ve never heard any of them talk about dealing with strangers to buy something on Craigslist.

Rich people are often cheap. That is one of the reasons some of them are rich.

I’m a rich person in this area who doesn’t haggle. I also don’t use Craigslist. I think it’s your audience...
