Best of Craigslist

Doesn't really matter if it's 20 oz or 20 lbs, it's too damn heavy for a private "sale".
 
Which does not answer the question. What unit is attached to the "20." The only people that care about the "law" are those that make their living off of it. :)
 
I wish that were true, Fred, and I'd find a different profession.
 
I don't have any idea - email the dude and see how much ganja he wants in trade for the MJ!

OMG...... gotta clean the Mr Pibb off my screen! :roflmao: Brings the phunnay 'cuz it's true.........

Yeah, the guy didn't associate a unit to the "20"...... I assume a $20 bag.
 
Well hell, he got a deal even if it is a mislabeled rust bucket!
 
Anyone familiar with "The Cherokee Guys"....... apparently they're in the business of better than new Cherokee restoration and sales......

Fully Rebuilt 1989 Jeep Cherokee - $16000 (Denver CO)

This is a 2d fully restored 1987 Jeep Cherokee XJ. We (my partners and I) fully restore the XJ model, specializing in only the XJ, and restore them beyond their original condition. This green meanie has a set up of features perfect for mountain climbing. I'm asking for $16,000 and will sell it to the first responder willing to buy at that price. If, however, I start getting offers above $16,000, I will not honor this initial price unless I've shaken hands with someone. So if you want this restored oldie, message me asap - it will go quick. Worst case scenario: we will be unrolling restored XJ's more and more, so shoot us a message and we'll keep you in the know.

Sincerely,
The Cherokee Guys
 
So if I throw a crate motor and tranny in mine I can sell it for 16k? I'm sure mine is built way better and it's newer.

I think I'm going to keep an eye on this one and see how long it sits on CL. Shall me take bets?
 
I would think a while. Even if they replaced EVERYTHING so that it is indeed "like new", I just don't see the market for XJ's in that price range... Then again, WTF do I know.
 
You can get a loan for a jk or tj. You can't lean against an xj like that.
Not only will it not sell close to 16gs. they wont get their money out of it. If it were a toyota with a deisel conversion. Sure, but wtf
 
The stolen trailer saga has come to an extremely aggravating conclusion....

So a DPD auto theft investigator finally contacted the Littleton PD officer who I'd been working with. Both the LPD and DPD guys have been in contact with the guy registered to the plate that was screwed to the trailer. That plate info is what the trailer owner used to report it stolen. He's even described the trailer down to the house paint spilled on it, where it's spilled on it and that the lights are inoperable.

The LPD officer called me today and said DPD wants the trailer recovered by LPD and impounded. Ok, that's pretty much the norm. I had no problem with that and met the LPD officer this afternoon and released the trailer to him.

Now, since all that the Texas plate registration shows is that it's a non-VIN stamped homemade black utility trailer...... get this...... DPD can justify taking a stolen trailer report, and justify having it towed and impounded, however.........

DPD will not be returning it to the guy the plate registers to. "Because he can't prove he actually owns the trailer. No VIN, no title, no proof." I guess the black and white of it is the fact that the owner never "properly" titled and registered the trailer in Colorado as the law requires once he'd established residency.

So, essentially DPD is now stealing the value of the trailer from the owner...... AS WELL AS my $300 investment in this whole ordeal.

Lesson to be learned here? Honesty isn't always the best policy apparently. The ONLY reason this trailer was "recovered" was because I did the right thing and had the plate cleared and the trailer inspected before I went to get my own title for it. Had I not? I'd have a really nice trailer..... in my name with a shiny new VIN plate attached to it.

W..........T..........F? :mad:

I have a message in to the DPD investigator to try and get a better understanding of this. And to perhaps find a way to at least get the trailer back to the owner. At this point, I have come to terms with the money I lost on the deal...... but it truely sucks for the guy that lost the trailer. I also need to hear it from DPD as to why they're not going to attempt to find the crook - after all, I gave them his cell phone number, the Craigslist account info, copies of the ad and bill of sale he signed, and other details about the crook........

It seems that any more departments aren't actually interested in finding criminals unless they've committed murder........or sold/used a little bit of drugs.
 
the man is always getting you down.

Just goes to show the BEST thieves are government agencies.
 
Reminds me of when DPD found my car that had been stolen. It was found in Jefferson County but a several yards from Denver County. They impounded it and I had to pay $500 dollars to get my car out of impound. Had they taken it to Jeffco (the county I lived in) I wouldn't have had to pay a cent.

Furthermore, I had a police report filed before they found the car. If they had put a call out for the report I would have had the chance to come pick up my vehicle that was a few blocks from my home.

I have come to the conclusion that DPD trains their officers to be lazy and collect as much money for the county as they can whether its ethical/non-ethical or legal/illegal... They have the law on their side.

Im sure it depends on the specific officer. When my Jeep was stolen, the responding officer was very nice and willing to write down the specifics about the Jeep that would make it stand out, and the officer who found the Jeep called four times to see if I was able to grab the Jeep before it was towed (granted it was ~3am and I was asleep).

My other interactions with DPD has been nothing but great, minus having to deal with them in the first place.



Now the parking division.....:flamemad:
