A bit of a rant

6 March 2012

Dear RV Diary,

I REALLY loathe Craigslist. 

Although it’s the cheapest and fastest way to sell ones belongings…It’s like the people DON’T read what is posted.

For example:

Saturady evening I placed my bicycle, James’ bicycle, the glass table, my kayak (which sux cause I love that thing but at this time there is NO way I can take it) and my little portable generator.

The two bicycles sold within an hour of posting them~COOL!

Then I got a phone call on Sunday for the kayak…This is when Craigslist starts to get ridiculous…

In my adds I CLEARY tell the potential buyer that I have a back injuury so I will NOT be lifting OR bringing the item to you. (I am still unclear why people think Craigslist is a delivery service of goods).

SO the guy comes for the kayak…Meanwhile I get a text from another interested party for the kayak. I tell him I will let him know either way what this guy on the way takes or no takes.

So, the guy gets here with is “brother” and they discuss whatever…Drop me a $50 dollar check (not happy about this at all, but accept) tell me his wife will come get it tomorrow and bring me the rest in cash because he has a kia and can’t transport it.

WELL, it is NOW Tuesday…Although he called yesterday around 5 pm and I informed him if he wants it to come get it before noon today…It’s now 1:20…No phone call, NOTHING! This IRKS the crap outta ME!

Next on the agenda…The generator…

I get an email early yesterday morning: “Kayak still available?”

Then I text back: “Good Morning! Yes it is!”

Then two hours later the same guy sends me an email about how he will have his assistant send me a money order but he needs my FULL address because he will be flying to London and his assistant will send out this money order. ALSO, if I take it off of Craigslist and already consider it sold he will throw in an additional $30 bucks.

Really?

I was born in the morning…But not this morning!

Sure stranger, I’ll give you my FULL address so you can come beat me and take my crap.

If you are SO privileged to have an assistant then spend the extra money and go buy a new one at Wal-Mart.

SO I just emailed my phone number and told him to have his assistant call me THEN I will make whatever plans with him…

Haven’t heard nothing since…SURPRISE!

Well, Rv Diary…I don’t like being negative so I am going to take a nap.

It is snowing like crazy here so I need to have James shovel the driveway and make a trail to the shed so we can get stuff out of there for the upcoming move this weekend and part of next week. My Fibromyalgia is really flairing up and I feel exhausted.

I sure won’t miss the snow or the cold…AT ALL!

Love ~Vivi
