I can fix a bicycle. I have lots of experience. 15 years, in fact. So, I thought I'd offer services to people who need tune ups. A fun side job for me, and I can save people a few bucks on labor, and I offer conveniences such as pick-up and delivery.
Well what better place to advertise my services than Craigslist? Well of course, no sooner than I put up an ad in the "Bikes" section, some ass-hat flags my ad and it gets removed.
Why?
I understand that you're not supposed to offer services in the "For Sale" section of Craigslist. I get that. But for many other services that might apply to things in the "For Sale" section, there are other options for people to offer such services. For instance, there is indeed, the "Services" section. But there is no "Bicycle" option in said "Services" section, as there is for, say, "Financial Services," or services for "Cycles."
"Cycles," as in motorcycles.
So what's the big fuckin' deal? I offered a tune up for your bike in the "Bikes for Sale" section. Well, thanks for setting me straight, Craigslist Nazi. Lesson learned. You win.
