I've been selling all sorts of junk on craigslist and I've come across some irritating people. Twice in the past two days I got stiffed on when people came to pick up the stuff. Last night, I sold something to this guy, and we agreed that it would be for $25. He hands me a $20 and says, "how about a nice crisp twenty." I'm not really good at arguing so I said it was fine but was annoyed that he pulled that on me. Whatever, I got it for free and so even if he paid a dollar, I'd be making money.
Today, this lady comes to pick this other thing up and I had asked $10 for it. She walks in and looks at it and says, "it has a little tear. how about $5?" COME ON. fine. So i say sure, I'm just trying to get rid of it, and she asks if I have change. No, i don't have change. Right now I'm living off of my babysitting money and it's on my debit card.
She goes to see if her daughter has $5, and she doesnt, so she ASKS TO WRITE A CHECK. for something that costs $5. When she has a five dollar bill in her hand. Talk about cheap, I would have just handed over the $10. So now I have to go to the bank (which i already did today, AND I work hours that don't let me get to it before it closes, unless I use my lunch break. And even then, there's not one close by).
Whatever, at least it's gone. Two less things I have to haul the next time I move.
