So, I have this laptop for sale for $160 on craigslist. It's actually a pretty good deal for my area, it's about as cheap for the specs as you can find.

So, I get this email from somebody......

Is the laptop still for sell?

Yes, it is.

Where are you located? I am interested in it.
Please provide all the specs. Thanks!

the specs in the ad?

We live in Boiling Springs, SC.. Could we meet in Charlotte?

This person is asking for two things now.

a) Me to drive for three and a half hours to meet him.
b) Me to take 22% off for the privilege of doing so.

I think I am going to scream.......

So, I hope I wasn't acting out of hand when I replied and said these things....

I am not going to drive three and a half hours out of my way to
sell something at a 22% discount.

The person replies.......

ok fine no wonder you still have it for sell

And I say...


Yeah, it's still available because I don't accept
ridiculous offers.

How pathetic of me.


Any thoughts, guys?
 
You are being quite reasonable. I can't stand some of the people I have run into on Craigslist. For some it seems like a miracle that they can even find craigslist. However, there are people like this on Ebay or anyother public sales place. This is why I love the Marketplace!

I'm really glad to find someone who agrees with me.:)

Unfortunately, being in middle school, I'm not allowed to sell stuff online... :mad:
