The Official Kijiji Translation Bible

Agree to the asking price. Then show up pretending to have less

Price says firm but ask anyway what their LOWEST price is.

The classic... i usually ask them what their highest price is? So if I post it for $2500 you want to know the lowest price, I guess if I tell you $2400 we have a done deal negotiation over ? :rolleyes:
 
Had an above ground pool that I wanted to get rid of. For a laugh I put in on kijiji, $500 if you take it down and away, $1000 if I have to take it down. Surprisingly some guy offered the $500, no negotiating. I watched him struggle with that thing for 12 hours before he finished. When he was leaving he said 'if I knew it was going to be like this I would have given you the $1000'.

At $40 per hour on a nice outdoor gig with little pressure and no supervision - doesn't seem like the guy made such a bad decision. Nevertheless, a smarter thing to so would be to bring your friends and watch them take it apart while faking being busy in a corner somewhere.
 
How I de-crypt Kijiji ads:

Never RACED - This means I took it to a few trackdays. However, trackdays don't require a race license and as such are not considered "racing".
Never STUNTED - This means I did some wheelies and stoppies. However, they were not performed at an organized stunt event or sunt lot and I did not recieve a stunt driving ticket for doing them. As such they are not considered "stunts" or "stunting"
Never DROPPED - This means I dropped it. However, I did such a good job of hiding any evidence of it you wont know and thus it never happened.
Dropped by PREVIOUS OWNER - This means I crashed it. However, so did the previous owner, so let's blame the damage on him.
Dropped in the PARKING LOT - This means I crashed it into a ditch on a group ride. However, dropping it in a parking lot seems like a more reasonable explanation.
LADY RIDDEN - This means it's been dropped, the clutch is fried, and no maintenance was done. However, they are generally extremely low mileage and ridden to timmies a lot.
Tons of $$ in UPGRADES - This means the bike has rim tape, fender eliminator, and a slip-on exhaust.
