    I am curious what caused you to have to go to court?



    If you rather not elaborate, I understand.

    CL is definitely a predators playground. Recently a few guys were killed that had answered a job listing.

    Clever. Guy needs to get rid of a tree. Push it off as a Christmas tree!

    Must cut and haul away yourself. Because everyone has the means to take down a 30 foot tree.

    Hope someone has insurance because that building or at least one car is getting maimed during this. Might be an in for a scrap car?

    Not CL, but just as outrageous.

    Saw this earlier today.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-8-Energi...b#ht_500wt_719

    If there's a market for AA type batteries I didn't know.

    Then I saw this.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCRAP-METAL-...#ht_2121wt_938

    Est weight of 2 tons. Current price at $1,250

    Looks like a mix. Even if that was all aluminum I'd get around $1,200 to $1,300 for it.

    "This auction is for a set of eight(8) used and depleted Energizer Lithium AA batteries.

    These are being sold AS-IS, in a discharged state for the scrap value of the lithium metal.

    Some people have opened these and experimented with the lithium foil. What you do with these is your business. They are sold AS-IS."

    Uh... opened these and experimented? Im at a loss here...

    Kids Drum Set - Biggest mistake you'll ever make (DTC)
    Date: 2012-01-24, 7:39AM MST
    Reply to: sale-495wr-2815431713@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
    Here you go. A three piece drum set for a kid. It's missing some of the pieces to put it all together, but the drums are all fine. It wasn't cheap. Yes, it's free. You'll probably take it thinking to get the pieces to put it together, but after two hours of your kid beating on it while you're trying to watch Jeopardy, you'll post it on CL for free anyway. Don't say you haven't been warned. That green little cabinet behind it isn't included....but you know what....I'm kind of sick of that thing too...so might take an offer on it.

    My rules for free stuff:

    No, I won't meet you somewhere to give it to you.
    No, you can't come "check it out". If you come by, you have to take it.
    I probably won't answer many questions about it either. It's a drum set. I don't know what brand, I won't go measure it, and I don't know if your kid is old enough to use it.

    I've given away a lot of stuff on CL, and its kind of funny I have to even post those, but you'd be amazed what people want you to do before taking something that's FREE.

    Judging from the add, he only took the transformers, copper, and heatsinks. The rest of the stuff, he wants someone to throw away for free, versus $65 at the landfill.

    I hope someone breaks into his house.

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Lol hypo that is a pile of fail easy job to. If anyone asks your just protecting the environment and public safety. after a hurricane goes over the keys alot of **** has to be cleaned out of channels then you have to dive them cause most of the metal sinks. I really wish i knew about scrapping in 94,98,05,06.
    Born to think, destine to succeed.
