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

    I know we have a fun Craigslist "Hall of Shame" ad post.. But what about some of the glorious, weird, odd or just downright stupid interactions from CL. I know I've got a bunch.. but I can start us off with one perfect example from this very morning.

    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!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
