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

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.
