The part where the dad tells you to fuck off after asking if his autistic son could spare gas money is really making me laugh. Thanks for sharing your experience friend.
What's so funny?

That is actually pretty hilarious
That seems really inefficient. Why not just pull out your phone and use Internet banking to deposit money there and then? PayPal takes a cut, who wants to carry around large sums of cash and people still use checks? Strange. Nothing wrong with giving someone a bank account number. Come on States.

I've never had a problem with Google Wallet, PayPal, or anything else, which don't apply fees if you use a checking account, and I'd wager both of those (plus Apple's system and everything else) are better than most bank account apps. Also, many bank accounts do charge for transferring money to a personal account from another bank.
The absurd arrogance.
No need to be uptight, hold the L and have a laugh with the rest of us. Just learn from this and don't do it again.

I only have 2 rules for Craigslist and i make it clear in the e-mail conversation between the buyer/seller.Yeah, never go to their place or anything. Always best to meet somewhere mutual or have them come meet you (in your city not at your place).
Wrong. People on craigslist are the worst kind of flakes. That or an unusually large percentage of people I'm set to meet up with get into car accidents or have family emergencies.Always meet somewhere halfway in public. First rule of Craigslist.
Dumb.
Craigslist is great. Got a $700 pool table for $200.
Who wants to be told "it could have been worse" after a situation that still manages to be frustrating and shitty?
But hey, and least Yellowstone didn't blow up on you! Count your blessings you fortunate guy, you.
Play a game on your Vita to relaxI can't laugh I am so fucking stressed :/
When you share your tragicomedy on the Internet message board, you should expect a wide range of responses.
In fairness, there have been some true craigslist horror stories. People have gotten hurt, robbed, and killed because of their craigslist interactions. This guy suffered a little humiliation, a little frustration, and learned a valuable lesson. So, yeah, worse things have happened.
Sounds like this kid's parent did not approve of him buying a Vita, so if he had given him the VIta and then his bank account info, he just would have never been paid. Giving bank account information to make a payment is abnormal in the US. ALmost every person to person transaction is done using a check, cash, money order, or some sort of payment system (PayPal, etc), not transferring money via a bank account. Craigslist is almost exclusively done in cash.
What's so funny?
It's not funny so much as really unacceptable. Look at it from the Dad's perspective. You are a stranger in his home, asking for gas money from his autistic son.

The dad doesn't know the op and for all he knows he could be trying to scam his son. He deserves to be compensated but I'm not surprised the dad said no.
Should I be laughed at for it?
Vancouver?fuck craigslist.
Shit has gotten so bad in my city from people getting robbed at these meetups that the police set up a special room at the police department for people to do their craigslist trading.
I don't think so but thats the internet for you.
Should I be laughed at for it?
TL/DR. Found buyer on CL for my PS Vita. Needed me to drive the hour and a half to him and agreed to pay extra and cash because of my time. Get there and he is autistic and has no cash for me and his dad tells me to leave the property wasting my money and time.

You lucky you didnt get killed/robbed. No way I would ever come anywhere to meet somebody in Craigslist.
