Trying to sell stuff on Craigslist: It sucks.
I am sorely tempted to respond to "What's your bottom dollar" with "I know what I got".

Every time i get that text, i raise the price
I got a text at 2am asking me what my bottom dollar was. I added 25% to the price, "since you texted me at 2am."
I got a water fountain for my cats, since one of them (Linus) has kidney issues and the vet said they tend to get cats to drink more water. The other cat (Lucy) has spent the last twenty minutes moving from one spot in the family room to another staring at the thing, and I feel a little bad for her, because she is rather nervous by nature, but mostly, I’m taking pictures of her, because it’s also hilarious.
My usual reply is "the most I can get someone to pay"
While cleaning out the bead blast cabinet, I was interrupted by a student who insisted he needed to use it "Right away".
I suggested he come back in about 20 minutes when I was done. He insisted saying it would only take him a minute.
He's been at it about 5 minutes now.
How long should I let him go before telling him there's no media in the cabinet?
In reply to SaltyDog :
As long as it's not holding you up, I'd let him go as long as it takes for him to realize.

At least until after he realises it himself?
In reply to Duke :
He just quit and left without saying anything. I'm sure he'll be back. I'll ask him how it turned out.
Im at the in law's community pool. I think most of the people here would be far more attractive with more covered. Leave something to the imagination.
Since I discovered a massive berkeleying exhaust leak on the G35 near the flange where the muffler meets the midpipe (thankfully the leak is on the muffler side) I've been somewhat tempted to be a bellend and weld in some blast pipes
For under $1200, I can add 19 horsepower and 27 lb/ft of torque in the 2500-4000 rpm range for my wife's S60.
I'm thinking about it.
It's my wife's car.
I'm still thinking about it.
In reply to Duke :
OR..... For just over $400, you can add 150 H.P.

But I can do this without affecting warranty, emmissions, or fuel economy...
In reply to Duke :
Well..... There is that aspect of it. 
I personally have never had an engine that I was willing to take the chance of putting a bottle on. I did ride a GPz 1100 with a bottle. Once.
Yesterday when I went to swap the new oil pan & oil cooler O-ring onto the Infiniti I found that the red cylinder I was seeing peeking out from under the front end was NOT in fact the oil filter (which was also red, but unsurprisingly tucked up further out of sight on the front of the engine) but was in fact the magnetic LED light that my FIL had given me for Christmas.
I was last under the Infiniti about 2 weeks ago when I worked out that the oil pan was cracked and leaking- and have been driving around with the light stuck to the lower frame since then. A time that included several hours of 80mph driving on the highway AND climbing the steeply-inclined and uneven gravel road up to the property where our cabin is being built.
In reply to Ashyukun (Robert) :
That magnet sure earned its keep!
I just sold the set of dry rotted junk tires for $40. I told the buyer exactly what he was buying. I really hope he plans to use them for burnouts and nothing else.
The old minivan officially reached crappy beater status when the muffler blew out last week. It’s a little obnoxious but I don’t care enough to fix it.
I still love that van. Best $1500 I ever spent.
Today I fixed an annoying problem I've been putting up with on the Mustang for a few weeks now by checking and finding that I had the vacuum lines on the purge valve on backwards. Switched them around and now it's back to behaving like a decent car again. I should have known it was something like that because the problem started when I replaced those hoses thinking they were causing another problem.
I ordered some absolutely absurd custom door cards for the Miata from Spinnywhoosh
After 5 years and three Miatas I think i’m done with them. I want a big boy car now, it probably won’t even be a convertible.

Similar situation for me. I don't want to sell the Miata, but it is mostly that I don't want to sell it because I don't want to "give up". But in reality, I need 2 automatic vehicles and only can really have 2 vehicles, so the Miata is out.
The plan right now is to drive the soon-to-be new-to-me 4-door dad mobile for 3 years, and then get a BMW convertible. With stick.

..who just failed the course.
There is a 1968 Kaiser M715 on my local CL for under Challenge money that runs. I think it would be a cool, don't give a berk, off-road beater.
I can't stop thinking about it. I need another project like I need a hole in the head right now. I also don't have enough money but have been scheming on how to tease up enough cash; ie. selling some guns, an expensive tablet, taking my forlorn Mustang to the junk yard, etc.
GAHHHHHHHH I WANT
