I run into that all the time.
The worst thing is when they come to buy body parts and they pull up in a 88+ chevy pick up. Had more than 1 guy say the parts will fit, it's only 1 year apart.

maybe they think they are smart like some of us and maybe your the dumb one who listed it as a 700 when they think it just might be the 400 they been looking for lol. you should put in the add its not a 400 next time your sure of it

Craigslist has a cesspool of inbreds unfortunately that we all have to deal with...

I once put up an ad to try to sell the cab from my Toyota pickup that i'm turning into a buggy.

The ad specifically stated in capital letters "CAB FROM......"  and further in the ad I stated that I'm only selling "JUST THE CAB FROM THE TRUCK"

The only replies I got from the ad were people asking what engine, transmission and what size tires and lift the truck comes with.....

I removed the ad because it was annoying.....funny, but still annoying. ::)

yep, Darwin's rules of survival of the fittest are long null and void.  Don't have to be smart to survive anymore and because of that, the human race is getting dumber all the time.  To those who subscribe to evolution, I believe we have reached a peak about a generation or two ago.  Now. lawyers follow in the shadow of dumb people to have lawsuits over "unsafe" things that may hurt someone.   Only dumb people get a lot of money, and are paid, for being dumb, by the courts.  

You tripped over that crack in the sidewalk and broke your neck?  I'd say that's worth $5 trillion in court.  

You had an explorer with a Firestone tire that blew and you over corrected and you simply don't have good driving skills and flip 20 times?  that's worth $50 zillion in court.   I see this stuff everyday and just shake my head. 
Those of us with at least half a brain and common sense don't get hurt, and therefore have no need for court cases.

I don't sell much stuff on CL.  But like everyone else that posted, I get my share of unknowledgeable people.

Tried to sell some 15 inch tires.  "Duh, will these fit on a 16 inch rim?"  "No, they will only fit a 15" rim!"  "Duh, wy not?"  'click'.  lol

I had posted a used microwave on craigslist. Some lady came to look at it; tried to make some popcorn (that she brought) to make sure it works. Well it popped all of the popcorn. I asked if I could load it for her, she said wait and tried some of the popcorn and told me she couldn't get it because the popcorn tasted funny.
