by RedBedroom Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:11 pm....and the first response was asking me to deliver it! The nerve of some people! Granted, she said she was without a car and disabled, but it is still ballsy. She just asked, no "please" or saying she would appreciate it...just asked.

It's typical lol. Getting something for nothing isn't enough these days for some people. Next time you do a craigslist you should probably put "delivery not available" or "you must pick up" in the ad. Sometimes you gotta spell it out lol

So how long of a drive was it Red? Did you have to hook up the cable too?

I'm so happy the TV situation worked out well. A lady who only had a 19" TV got it. She was so thankful.

I once advertised a bedroom set on Craig's List. Not free though. One lady called me and asked if delivery was included in the price. I told her no. She got angry and told me it should be. Then she said she didn't drive and I should deliver it. I told her I don't drive either. She told me I should make arrangements for delivery. I told her goodbye.

Isn't it crazy how people just think the rest of the world should accommodate them?

It certainly is. If someone is getting something off Craig's List they are looking for a bargain to begin with. Asking for more is really rude.
I had no trouble selling my bedroom set to some nice people with a truck. There was no reason why I should have accomodated the lady who wanted me to deliver it to her. Especially because I didn't have the means to do so.

I used to buy dvd boxsets of tv series... and then resell them. I had done this many many time... especially with law and order and west wing. never had a problem... then one guy writes me SCREAMING LIKE THIS... that he did not get the episode insert with his dvd set. im one of those people that even if i had it, i would probably have thrown it away-- there is no need for it.. the epis are printed on the box & the dvd. I offered to refund some of his money and he insisted i take it back---- oooookkkk. the damn insert was really THAT important to you??? come on

Interesting. If I ever try to sell something on Craig's List, I guess I'll know to be very specific about shipping detail.

The california guy turned out to be a scam. You have to be specific and even leave a phone number so they can call you back. If you just give an e-mail address they will just scam you.

I have an old TV that I need to get rid of. Perhaps I should just donate it to the Salvation Army.
