Stupid Craigslist

[JLaCroix]

So I have been trying to sell off my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. Every time I try, my post gets flagged and removed by its stupid user base. The same thing seems to be happening to other people selling Windows 7 in my area, as I noticed someone else was selling a copy and their post dissappeared very quickly. Apparently someone has made it his or her sworn duty to destroy anyone selling Windows 7.

I've even explained in my post that I have a full 100% Genuine copy (non-MSDN or Academic) and that doesn't seem to be good enough.

Anyone else having poblems like this with Craigslist?

Re: Stupid Craigslist

It's possible that it's getting flagged because the official street date isn't until late this week.

I posted a personal ad asking someone to make me a sandwhich and they deleted it.

I guess I'll just keep the stupid thing. It's too irritating for me to keep fighting the morons. I don't even need nor want Windows 7, it was given to me by Microsoft during an event I went to for work on 10/07.

Well you're gonna KEEP IT for free! Why should I let you make a profit off of it?! Especially when I paid $40 for Home Premium :V

Kajiji. I may try that. Craigslist isn't cutting it for my computer repair service either, anyone know a good place to get the word out on that?

Re: Stupid Craigslist

In case you missed Mora's post, the street date isn't until the 22nd. Your ad is likely being deleted because of that. Same reason why Microsoft disables accounts if you play leaked games online.

You might be right, but last week an ad someone posted was taken down from eBay for Windows 7 not being out yet, and Microsoft actually told eBay to re-enable the ad because they didn't mind. If Microsoft doesn't care, no one else should.

Re: Stupid Craigslist

and as I showed jeremy, there are other copies of windows 7 on craigslist, and some of them have been there quite a while, completely unchallenged.
