Gotta love craigslist sometimes!
« on: Jan 13, 2011, 09:54:20 PM »
I'm in the process of moving and have been trying to offload a few things I either don't want to store or don't have the room for.  Trying to get rid of my little boat trailer has proved difficult, but a microwave and air compressor I listed last night for free are gone. 

Had a guy contact me wanting the microwave so I arranged a time to meet him tonight and took the compressor with me to drop off.  After he grabbed it, I set the compressor out and went to a little store about a mile away for cleaning supplies and decided to take the same way home to see if some crackhead had already snagged it.  Sure enough there was an older guy in a new dodge pickup grabbing it, so I pulled over and told him what it needed and offered to help him load it.  Not even 15 minutes and it was gone  :haha:

I wrote in the ad that the compressor would be down at the end of my road tonight or tomorrow morning and gave good directions to where it was, yet some clown still emailed me and said he wanted to come over and get it.  Gotta love that reading comprehension  :shake:  Seems like my ad was straight forward enough to me!

"Will be sitting by the stop sign at X road off lake blvd tonight or tomorrow morning, about 1/2 mile south of the pine grove/lake blvd intersection."
RIP KYOTA

Too late, sucka  :gap:  Put out an ad for some beat first gen fenders, t100 grille and some drip line last night.  As I drove to storage this morning I saw a dude grabbing the drip line as I was dropping off a battery charger, which he took, then when I got home it was all gone  :haha:  Gonna drop off an old bbq in a few after I finish lunch, hopefully it'll go away quickly too!
