Craigslist Crazies
September 29th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
I am selling my lovely patio furniture that I never use. There is no reason for it to be sitting there looking all pretty with no real purpose other than for Charlie to pee on.
So I decided to sell it on Craigslist, the place where crazy people shop.
So far I have gotten dozens of phone calls from heavy breathers, broken english speaking, low-talkers. My favorite so far is this email I got today:
I m grateful that the item is still available,and thank for quick response and i will like to let you know i will love to make an instant purchase, so please i will love you to withdraw the posting from Craiglist, and for you to know how much i m interested in this, i will like to add $50.00 for taking down the posting from Craiglist so that i can be rest assured that the item is in my possession and i will also like to add that i will be paying via check and it will be overnight payment due to the distance. You don’t have to bother yourself with the shipment OK, i will make preparation for that.So i will need you to provide me with the following information to facilitate the mailing of the check.
1.Your full name 2. Your mailing address (residential) 3. Your phone number.
Once again I will like you to know that you will not be responsible for shipping…i will have my mover come over as soon as you have cashed the check. Thanks.
