I might be moving in a few months, so I figured I would check the local craiglist to see what it is like down there. Ran across this ad:

What the ...

Is he on drugs or what!?

A little punctuation wouldn't go amiss; it's practically unreadable.

This isn't true either:

it's common knowledge most Techs never sleep weeks on end

Don't know about anyone else, but I make a point of sleeping at least once a week.
 
Wow, wonder if that ad works! Perhaps more scary to think: what kind of crazy clients does he get?! hahah. Either way, if that's your CL competition, you have a good chance.
 
idc what they say no software will ever

...What.
 
Did he also disable spell check? IMHO Brent, go for it, judging by that ad I seriously doubt that guy could fix a mild case of diarrhea :o, let alone a computer.
I bet he's got a pit in the basement where he keeps all the people that respond to that ad :p
 
Seriously I see this crap all the time when I go to Craigslist computer services. I've seen bad but this takes the cake. Makes me think that you should pass a test to use the internet.
 
Ok, this is a brilliant marketing strategy ... hear me out.

People are intimidated by computers because they don't understand right?

Well, obviously if they can't understand guy they are hiring to fix it, he must know what's going on.

Right?

So essentially what you're saying is blind them with stupidity?

It could work ...
 
I have a busy retail shop and I post on Craigslist regularly, but I have to say, that when selling product it has to be a steal or at least a very sought after product at the low end of the reasonable price range to attract attention.

I also post our free recycling program every week...
 
Honestly I think it comes down to this. Some people have figured out that about 80% of what most techs have to do aint rocket surgery. Lets face it, they are calling the highschool kids working at best buy "techs". people have no respect for what we do. They don't know there is a difference between these kids and legit techs who have been at this for years. They are all "computer fixers" in their eyes.


The people posting these adds got ahold of Hiren's boot CD and honestly if they even kinda sorta know what they are doing they should be able to fix 90% of any computer issue with this and a Windows disc, and a little know how of how to replace parts.


Peoples logic is why pay someone $125 per hour to do what some kid can do for $20?
