Ripping off fellow students is low. |

I saw that somebody had listed a used copy of one of the books I need for next semester on Craigslist. Thinking I could save a few bucks and cut out the vultures at the college bookstore, I emailed asking how much they wanted for it. I got an email right back- $25. For a little softcover writing guide that's $22.50 new and $16.80 used at the overpriced college bookstore.
Thanks, I think I'll pass. :grr:

I know a guy who makes money on Craigslist, but he don't do it that way. You know the sorry thing about that is that person will probably get what he is wanting for it. Unlike you, there are a lot of people out there who don't do their homework- no pun intended. It seems like there should be some way to warn prospective buyers.

2. Unfortunately if you post that somebody's a rip-off artist, the post gets flagged. |

I suppose I could link this person to the price, in case they just forgot what they paid for this book.
