I haggle, but only when the I drive across the city to pick up an 'excellent' condition item and get annoyed when it's scratched all over.

I don't meet anyone at my house, that way I can be a dick if needed and not get my house egged or burnt down.

LOL! :laugh:

So if you want them, get the fuck over here with some money and take them.

God that is awesome. I want to meet that guy, shake his hand, and buy him a beer. And tell him what I want to build.

LOL.
But he does have a point.
Ever sold something simple on ebay and then you get emailed a thousand questions that are from the stupidest people.

I gave him a firm, "Are you fucking kidding me?" and left.

Lol,my husband literally threw a low balling craigs lister out of our house, hehehe,it was so funny the guy was practically running out the door after Red barked at him.

I can agree that CL in insane at times. We were giving away a lot of 30+ 17" monitors. Some good/perfect and some bad. At least 90% worked perfectly. It was a take all or nothing deal.

I had a few people calling me to tell me they'd pick them up for a cost. One wanted to know if I'd cover the cost of a rental truck and many came and wanted just one...which i may have done, but they also wanted to test them first.

Finally some guy shows up with a pickup and loads them all and carts them away.

Now we just drive them to a recycler.

Awesome but way old. Saw this a couple *weeks* ago. In the land of internet memes/cool or funny stuff I saw on the internet, that's the mesozoic.

If the YTMND has been made about it, it's old, which gives you about 3 1/2 minutes to post any item to your favorite message board...and that's only if you created and uploaded said item yourself.

Admit it, you just wanted to be on the NAMBLA mailing list without actually signing up yourself. :laugh:

That was awesome. It reminded me of Office Space:

"I DEAL WITH PEOPLE! WHY IS THAT SO DAMN HARD TO UNDERSTAND?! I'M GOOD WITH PEOPLE...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!"
