NYT listings as bad as Craigslist

Discussion about
Everyday there are dozens of new listings for just my little subset (2BR, moderate price on UWS) despite the fact that there are actually very very few new listings. But the same apartments are listed by multiple agents and on multiple days. For example, if you went by the listings there are several dozen vacant 2BR apartments in the James Tower (101 W. 90th) (I would argue NYT is worse since at least Craigslist is a fast and snappy website. It takes you a lot less time to figure out you are wasting your time looking at it.)
Why don't you work with an agent who works in the area you want to move in? Clearly your searching on your own is not working out.
Confirmed troll sighting
I can remember when I used to jump back and forth between SE and NYT. Now, why bother? I do however get a kick out of seeing a "new listing" in the Times that had been pulled after 300 days on the market and then trotted out as something new and exciting! Ha! Gotta love it!
Agreed. You are the worst kind of troll. Lurking until I write something before showing your ugly face.websters definition of.
But, don't the ads in NYT cost over $200 per ad? I always figured that the cover charge would keep out the majority of the craigslist hucksters.
The limitation of streeteasy on the rental side is their limiting listings to exclusives. Some really great properties never will make it onto se. Hence the need for a good agent.
I have started working with a broker. Guess what they do. Send me copies of open listings that I have seen languishing on SE for months. Or, of course, the same listings from the James Tower (or 323 w. 96th, or... etc.).
And this isn't one of the CH jokers but a long time agency that specializes in the UWS. (I used them 20 years ago and again 10 years ago, though the 2nd time I found a place on my own and not through them).
So much for all that super-secret, relationship-oriented, broker only assistance that they claim is worth a month of my salary.
You're obviously not using the right broker. And if our fee equals a month's salary for you, then you've got worse problems than finding a good place to live.
go away hfs
Do you have a good broker to recommend, jimmy?
The other part of it is that there is very little new inventory (particularly two beds) coming on line day after day.
oh hfs.
You go away cc. Lurking troll.
no, you go away...hfs
Why do you always post right after I do cc? Do you have some sort of alarm on your computer? If I'm HFS, how come my account has never been disabled? Do you have anything of value to add ever?
hfs
Boo!
that's your riversider voice.
jim boner would say something a lot saltier.
Jimmy, why don't you add something useful to the conversation (like answering the question I asked) rather than bickering with CC? You should recommend an UWS broker you've had a good experience with to AvUWS.
Nada, fuck off. Why don't you recommend a broker for the op? You live there. You're brilliant. Take charge. I'm not interested in recommending anyone here.
And let's be clear. I rarely engage cc. He should stop bickering with me.
hfs
Ok! You've got me. Your probing insight and interrogation have folded me like an al-queda being waterboarded. So where does that leave us?
hfs
yes gentlemen?
Wait, how are you here, and I'm you.....I'm so confused. Cc, tell me who I am again please? I need to be set straight.
not cute.
not even close.
you're screwed.
you screwed up.
And what does that make you for repeatedly engaging me/us? Is it so hard to fathom that more than one person despises you enough? No, you're ego can't allow that, so we must be the same.
Guys, behave. Right now we have a nude man on West 67th Street where parents should not bring their children. After that is resolved, you two can resume your Tom and Jerry routine.
you're ego? no, your ego. but i don't expect much from you.
have you found any references where i shat on people and hoped they would die? or called somebody's child a whore?
You made a huge mistake today. Made it all way too obvious.
You/I'm right. How does one thank one's self for dispensing good advice?
Keep going. More and more clear. It's gotta be tough keeping the different voices going.
Ar, I found plenty of equally outrageous comments from you towards other posters. Unfortunately streeteasy chose to delete the thread right after I put a few up. Now I'm using my blackberry which would make doing it again unwieldy. But you liked it and you know it. Else you wouldn't be back and weighing in. Like the attention whore you are.
On the bus?
It's rough.

stop ignoring this person
report abuse Ar, I found plenty of equally outrageous comments from you towards other posters
Just go to the 80% carpeting thread. That's a gem of Aboutready's abuse. She even manages to blame others for her daughter's asthma.
Ilantra, I did use that one, I remember it clearly. Alas, the thread was deleted, and I'm not going to be bothered.
Cc, even if you were right, how did I make a huge mistake? With what repurcutions?
honesy, no. you are so wrong. as to that carpet thread you referred to, even printer who has nothing good to say about me thought the commentary was unwarranted.
what a stupid argument. if i ignore you, i'm not the attention whore? if i defend myself i am?
i'm sorry, telling someone that you think their ideas are crazy shit (particularly if you've been having to read horribly misrepresented sources incessantly) is different than asking a poster if her daughter is still selling herself near the methadone clinic.
you have zero justification for what you wrote last night. zero.
" if i defend myself i am?"
so farewell 3.0 back in August meant nothing?
Riversider
Also, why would you even bring up your daughter and the methodone clinic? Don't you have any boundaries about your family's privacy? Or at least your under age daughter? Let me guess, you would be ok having your daughter around W67.
i guess it meant a bit more than when riversider said he was leaving due to the degradation of the site and a bit less than when petrofitz said he was taking his profit and leaving.
Riversider keep going
Cc, do you see how your weighing in on this thread completely sucked any value from it?
Ar, I'm sure my alter ego will be good enough to dig up some threads to refresh your memory. Are you saying you felt my insults were more insulting? I've had 67 say some similarly unsavory things about my wife and child. Those who throw stones ar...
Hfs
Leave aboutready's husband out of it. He's a victim even more than we are.

You want a prize?
Hfs
how have i thrown stones, other than as a result of your foul commentary? are you saying i'm w67th? if you have issues there, deal with it. there is not a single poster who uses the word cunt more than you. you have zero self-awareness.
i am certainly not w67thst's keeper, nor have i ever presented as such.
On one thread cc goes "riversider" on another "hfs". I thought we were all the same? You remind me of that poor demented woman on "requiem for a dream" right before they started the electoshock therapy.
columbiacounty, what's the temperature up there? Right now here in NYC it's about 50 degrees (Fahrenheit).
Hfs
Riversider
Jim boner
All the same
Matt?
Yes, ar, I'm going to take a page from cc's book. I think that you, inonada, w67 and columbiaCUNTY are all one person.
Ar, I've witnessed you calling people retards. Using fuck and shit in your posts. Because you think one is worse than the other doesn't make it so.
Hfs
buyerbuyer?
Riversider?
Aboutready?
Dad?
Hfs
Aboutready's dad was trailer trash, according to Aboutready.
One wonders what Aboutready's daughter says about her mother.
jonesy, you're so wrong. you're in a class of your own.
find any post in which i've said i want to shit on someone and i hope they die.
or where i ask if someone's daughter is still doing tricks next to a methadone clinic.
you like to think that all foul comments are equal, but they simply are not.
oh, i guess i should have been more clear for the troll. YOU said you want to shit on me and you hope i die.
huh?
Ar, for someone who criticizes others constantly, you have an awfully thin skin. Does repeating it over and over make you feel better or worse?
Hfs
CarolSt?
jhonesy, it is what it is. did it make you feel good to say it in the first place? what if i said it about your daughter?
be real, no one on streeteasy has exposed the Jerry Springer follies of their family more than you have.
Monday night I was watching the Giants game. I said "I really hope we can knock Romo out of this game, hell maybe for the season". That's how much I dislike the Dallas Cowboys. Capiche?
Hfs
We know your husband can take care of himself - for example, his father died and he handled it alone while you vacationed in Rome.
And your daughter will probably turn out fine, despite what you've said about her publicly and what damage you might continue to do based on your meddling and the way that you've structured a legal contract to control all of her life and money.
But you are still damaged goods - trailer trash background as you've so freely admitted, father who you hate, mother who you can't even talk about, and free education that you were obviously unprepared to take advantaqge of if the results are any indication.
Listen, we hope the best for your family. Unfortunately, on that count, we might be in conflict with you, right?
Riversider
So what if I am Riversider, is that the best you can do?
Hfs
Aboutready's daughter is in danger, and all you can do is give 3 letters?
Riversider
Speak for yourself, I certainly don't hope for the best for her or her family.
More of the same
Well, you and columbiacounty hate aboutready's daughter and husband. I guess you and columbiacounty are on aboutready's side.
Keep dancing riversider
It's not working
What about buyerbuyer?
I'm assuming your speaking for yourself ar/cc? Whom else are you troll? Come clean now it'll be better for you.

Don't know that one. Add if you'd like. What do you think of my list?
Trying too hard. Out of your made up character.
Ericho?
Same problem.
Matt?
I didn't ask you cc, I asked ilantra.
Why are you engaging the troll?
alanthart?
Because you are the troll.
Ok guys, but for right now, what do we do about parents who might bring their children to trick or treat on west 67th street where a nude man has been known to be nude around children?
