Yup Yup I think you could call it false advertisvment and if you have a friend that is a good lawyer you could sue and get it for the advertised price LOL

Price of item $1, price of attorney $1000 , the look on the sellers face when you hand him a dollar to buy his item... PRICELESS LMFAO

"Not responsible for typographical errors!!"



More sellers on CL get less than asking price, than buyers that get higher than asking price.

CL is known as buyer beware.

I always offer a warranty, guaranteed until you reach the end of my driveway!!

Also I have a deal with the bank, they do not sell on CL, I do not accept checks!!

Agreed... No sympathy for the OP on this one. Name your price clearly all the way through the ad and this wouldn't happen.

The only thing worse is when someone advertises what turns out to be straight up junk. I once drove 4 hours, round trip, only to come home with my money still in my pocket, out $40 in gas, and one less vacation day. I'm still pissed about it!

Had a boss one time tell me that 90% of the world was knuckle dragging idiots and now their on CL lol had a guy come to my place asking for one of my tractors. Agreed on what my lowest price was before he came, he gets here and offers way less claiming he don't have correct change. The part that is funny is he claimed it wasn't worth going and getting the correct change, i was like whatever have a good day then. He calls the next day saying he has the correct change, i made myself unavailable to meet and sold it to someone else!

I don't read to much into the ads themselves just wished most were more complete like why not list the mileage when selling a car. Lol so ive just become accustomed to calling to get the real story and thinking someone only wants a dollar for something is certainly a sign of ignorance maybe hopeful wishing but come on really...

Default Oh, come on guys...

Although annoying, you don't have to read too many CL ads to know the $1 ones aren't really selling an item for a buck. Look for the price in the ad! I do see some with no price, so if you are interested call/text/e-mail them for a price. This isn't rocket science, unless you are buying a rocket.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
