Adventures on Craigs List
 

Mrs WD and I have been in a frenzy of downsizing - giving stuff to St Francis and Goodwill, selling on ebay an craigs list. CR is a hoot. I've met some great people and corresponded with some real A-holes. This is not epic or anything, but I had some fun with a guy today. His first response was actually only three characters.

CR – TV?
Me – Yes, I have a TV for sale. $225
CR – I’ll give you $125
Me – no thank you
CR –$125, take it or leave it.
Me – no reply
CR - You there? You’ll never get more than $100 for it. I’m offering $125
Me – why are you offering $125 if you know I can’t get more than $100?
CR - $125
Me – Is the extra $25 because you sense I am a nice guy? Or do you think I’m broke and need the extra money?
CR - $125 or no?
Me – I’m not broke. I don’t need the money. If it’s only worth $100, you insult me by offering more. F-you!
CR - $100. Where is it?
Me- In my living room
CR – Where do you live at?
ME – Doesn’t matter. I’ll meet you outside my office building. The TV will be in the back under a sheet. You drop the money at the front door. Brown paper bag.
CR – You crazy
Me – You go around back. I’ll count the money. If it’s all there, I’ll tell my associate not to fire.
CR – You crazy

Lol :)

That's funny! If you have an option you might want to consider another local thrift operation other than goodwill to donate to. They have "THE" name in thrift but are a scam. You'd do more 'good' locally by donating to another charity. Don't want to hijack your thread, as that back and forth on CL was hilarious. :D

Awesome. I love CList.

Yes. Find out about (Google) a hospice in your area and if they have thrift stores...and most of the workers in those stores are volunteers
Some, if not all, hospice services are provided free of charge.
Some workers there are volunteers...Angels.

Yes, St Francis, in the first sentence in the OP. It's a Catholic charity where we take the good stuff.

Similar stuff here.
