A used Dell D430 should be priced about $120-$160 these days right? Run if you see this guy. 😀

Kind of a dick move not taking him the RedBull. It doesn't cost much money, or take much effort, but builds tremendous good will.

I was thinking the same. If the guy is staying up late to reset and possibly even configure the computer, he will be tired today. Maybe he has plans and will be busy today. The Red Bull would be a friendly acknowledgement of the time and effort put into the computer.

But then this is ATOT, where everything is a joke.
 
I ended up getting him the red bull, i felt too bad driving over without it, he was already giving me a deal.

dude was actually cool as hell, ended up giving me a bunch of extras (keyboard and mouse for the docking station), and then created me an image of the fresh OS to boot from if I ever need to wipe it all.

awkward situation averted.

i sell computers activated, fully updated and some basic apps like windows live programs and media player software. then i put restore images on a separate partition. it just seems like a nice thing to do. funny thing is, if I ever bought a computer i would never use the recovery image that some guy i dont know made. it could be laced with viruses! 😛

Most awkward Craigslist meetup: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ba5_1345006502

Some really corny guys find their recently stolen bike on CL. They meet with the guy and there is a lot of whining, yelling, swearing and zooming cop cars.

That was cool, a local teen stole my bike from mt garage, I caught him riding it 2 weeks later and did a repo right there, scared the fuck out of him, he tried lying, "someone gave it to me", yea, right someone gives you a bike worth $100, one punk busted!..

"but you gotta Pick me up a 20oz red bull tomorrow for when I meet you ;-) deal?"

lol....

I would have one up'd his request. 1/5 of vodka + case of redbulls = Easy Rape/Free Laptop/Win.

Craigslist meets are always fun. Like a box of chocolates, etc.
 
Obviously the guy from CL murdered (then made sweet, sweet love to) BlackTigers, and is posting from his account to try to throw us off the trail.
