So Craigslist.. How about some "Are You Kidding me Stories?"

I have a Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Capacitor for sale on CL right now for $30 bucks.



Ad Respondent: Still got the Capacitor?
Me: Yes I do
Ad Respondent: I got $20 cash
Me: I'll take it.. when do you want to come and get it?
Ad Respondent: Send me your address.. I'll figure out how far away you are
Me: Ok.. Blah Blah XYZ Road
Ad Respondent: It'll take me 45 minutes- meet me half way
Me: Nope.. already dropped my price.. not wasting my gas and billable time too!
Ad Respondent: Oh.. Ok thanks anyway!

And Ladies and Gents.. Here is precisely how NOT to attempt to transact business via Craigslist!

And that is why a lot of useable stuff ends up in my scrap pile. $20 isn't worth the headache some days
