Nice!
My only dealings with Craigslist, was trying sell some land. Being the type of person I am, I included an accurate description of the land.
Including the fact that the timber had been cut and not replanted.
Now its covered with scrub oaks and volunteer pines.
I got a couple of questions back, but no takers. Then some fool e-mailed me ragging me for trying to scam people because there was no timber on it.
I asked how he knew there was no timber on it? Since the only way he could have known was by reading my description!
Nowadays I just get stuff like this.
Its really sad that some people actually fall for this.

Hmmm....I just realized I put this in the Garage rather than in the Lounge. Duh.
Could a mod please move?

some emails are fishing for responses to get your email address and spam you more. As amusing as it may be to write back I always refrain. That's why Craigslist uses the anonymous email system.

I just wanted to buy a friggin' laptop....
I think I still have a bowl of dicks....
You'd even put an offer on the table for a bowl of dicks?

It fits him.
I'd make an offer, but you probably would think it's lowball.

That reminds me of the Happy Gilmore where the guy told him, "I eat pieces of $hit like you for breakfast"......"you eat pieces of $hit for breakfast!?"
