    My crazy craigslist experience

    I had a guy respond to my ad of a few android tablets I have for sale.
    Was suppose to meet yesterday but didnt show up so called him gave a story he forgot something came up.
    We then agreed to meet at staples tonite and we met up he looked over the tablets and I seen he was looking in the settings
    which I assume to find the specs but only to change the lighting that makes it blink when you touch it which I got off after I factory reset it.
    As I checked both before me and my girl left the house so I knew he did something.

    He then tells me he will give me $50 for both as I was selling them for both together for $100
    and tells me its a fair deal since it will cost him $200 to fix which im thinking BS! its not a Ipad!

    I had just remembered I bought insurance on it and said he can buy this one now and I will have company fix the other.
    He then tells me he dont have cash but wants to do an IOU and im like wtf? I dont even know the guy and he wants to do an IOU?

    He figured he would walk away with both tablets for free.



    Bothers me he wasted our time but least we got a laugh out of stupidity.
    Well guess theres a first time for everything lol
