Posting a want ad on craigslist.

[rayg]

I also brought most of my stuff on CL, the last purchase was a United Puck bowler.....play Jim's "Kilroy" ball bowler I got the itch for one but didn't have the room for the ball type so I had to settle for the puck style. Which do to the size required a trailer.. I didn't have one handy so after sizing the seller up I left him a small deposit and good to his word he keep the ad up but adding "sales pending" I pick up the game as scheduled and he was even nice enough to help dismantle and load it.

If you don't mind me asking, was that the result of a want ad, or did you just find it on there?

Perhaps this is the "Dumb Question of the Day" but, is that your ad?

Call the number, ask for Glen!

            No not my ad, but it does spoil the fun of the search for some of us.

I checked it out, you're in Ventura, the ad was in Bakersfield. I don't know how far apart they are, but I wouldn't have figured you'd said "Bakersfield" if you were in Ventura.

...but it does spoil the fun of the search for some of us.

Yah, hunting for a solid, working late-model USS around here is just a barrel of laughs.  

Oh, I'm sure in Fresno, there are 80's USS coke machines in front of every corner drug store, but here in the rural
Deep South, they're a little hard to come by. Pixel, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck with Choice Vends!

EDIT: Don't worry, johnnie, I remembered.

One thing to add for posting a wanted ad, or even a for sale ad.  Get yourself a google voice number.  It rings to your cellphone and can either show up as the callers number or your own google number. 

That way when the phone rings you can know what they are calling about, you can keep your real number private from spammers, you can also block numbers if needed.

I've never really liked talking on the phone, I get nervous for some reason. I usually withhold my phone number until I'm pretty sure I want to go check something out.

That isn't a bad idea though. I would be a little worried about google making me sit through vending supply company ads on YouTube.
