Do New Yorkers game craigslist more than users in other cities?

September 9th, 2007

I’ve conducted transactions on craigslist in cities on both coasts of the US. My subjective conclusion thus far is that NYC’s board is the sketchiest. None of the others bring together so many con artists, scammers, thieves, sexual perverts, and introverted net trolls.

Selling anything to a real person becomes an exercise in spamming. You are competeing against professionals who do nothing other than flood post their merchandise every hour. 75% of your responses will be con artists on faraway continents; 24% will be real people who offer  half the money and want you to bring it to them on a platter.
