Craigslist / Porn sent to e-mail addy after placing a C/L ad

« on: October 22, 2013, 02:20:46 PM »

Back in Sept I placed an ad on C/L for a pump I have for sale. The next day I got my first reply to the ad sent to my e-mail addy that I had not posted in the ad. I posted a phone number as a contact.
Instead of being a reply to my ad it was a solicitation for porn
So obviously someone hacked craigslist to get my e-mail addy . After contacting C/L, I got a form letter back telling me to reply to the senders i/p and ask them to have the mail stopped. It has been over a month and I still get this stuff daily. Now I am afraid to use C/L as a source to sell anything

Has this happened to any of you?

Picker's Paradise / Shopgoodwill.com online auction

« on: April 21, 2013, 07:45:46 PM »

Bid on a digital camera at their online site. They show detailed pictures of the item and in the description it says that the camera is in good working cond. One of the pictures shows the camera with the viewing screen on . I win the bid and when the camera arrived the camera turns on screen turns a blank white and does not show the image of the photo you are about to take.
All items are sold "as is" . This was only a camera, expensive but if a company the size of Goodwill has to make their money misrepresenting the items they are selling, just think of what the future of on line storage auctions will be like.
I know that there are still people out there that are able to do business in an honest ethical manner but all I can picture right now is bidding on a locker base on pictures posted only to find empty boxes when you go to claim the locker
I guess my expectations of Goodwill were just a bit to much

Stories about Storage Auctions / Storage Managers in Sacramento

So I met this guy today that is selling some pretty nice stuff on e bay classifieds. I ask him where the item came from that I was interested in, and his story goes like this
He is disabled confined to a wheelchair, and he buys storage units. so I continue to stick my nose in his business and he starts bragging about how he has become friends with several managers of storage facility's in the area. Because he is disabled they let him pick through the lockers that are about to be sold and he gets to the good stuff first that way
I know, this is Northern California and we should expect stuff like this to take place, But WTF

I know they arent storage shows but I just went to both of their places and believe it or not , they were pretty interesting to visit. We spent some money at the pawn shop and for doing so they threw in t-shirts, the old man and cory came out and signed pictures for me.
Ricks restoration was pretty interesting and the best part of that visit was seeing Kelly

I am new to this site. Have never bought a locker, I found this site first and it woke me up to the reality of this business and to the reality of all of the tv shows that have to do with this business.
I am not saying that I will never attend an auction, but I will continue to learn from people like you all before I do.
