I just sold my mac air to a stranger, he came to collect it from my house. He was new to apple so I ended up giving him a 2hr lesson, setup & installed ilife etc, showed him my Apple TV and how that works with AirPlay. He was amazed, seeing as I don't use it much I said he could buy that aswel :)
He's a lecturer, I said it'd be good for his presentations

Anyways..a new apple guy has joined the family.

I've spread my apple seed:apple:
 
I hope you didn't give him your ph#, because he's now going to ring you up whenever he's got a problem! :eek:
 
U let him in your house?! I would've met him at a panera bread or something never do deals out your house

Exactly. Some use this technique to case your house. If I sell something myself, I ask to meet up in front of the local police station. If they show up, it's legit and it weeds out the shady ones.
 
I did this for the last four laptops i sold on craigslist, thought i didn't direct them to my house. but i spent at least two hours sitting there teaching them how to "use" the machine like if it was my responsibility, and yes i do feel irritated and annoyed, i intentionally just wanted to show them that everything i claimed in my classified is verifiable, but then they started to ask more and more questions like they don't know how to use a computer. for god sake these peoples are students and nurses, computer engineers, they so claimed when we finished the conversation.

my four time lessons. never again!
