stutters May 11, 2009 Share stutters GC Alumni May 11, 2009 To: tavenerfan23@gmail.comFrom: marquismark@hotmail.com Hey dude, I’m interested in the free couch. What color is it?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com It’s blue, like it says in the ad. Also, like it shows in the picture in the ad.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Yeah, but I don’t know what the lighting is like in your house. Once I got this armchair that looked red in the photo, but it was actually brown. Is the couch navy blue or cornflower or what?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com It’s a unique shade of blue called “free couch.†Why not just come and get it? P.S. My wife says it’s cerulean.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Cerulean works for me. What condition is it in?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com It’s in free condition! Why are we having this discussion? It’s in the condition where you come and get it and it doesn’t cost you anything. If someone’s offering you a better deal, take it.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Sorry, man, it’s just that I have to borrow my brother’s truck to come get it and I don’t want it if it smells like your family or something. Can you get it dry-cleaned?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com You want me to pay for dry cleaning? So what you’re saying is that free isn’t cheap enough for you. You’re thinking “Free, yeah, I dunno. Free’s a lot. Could you make me a sandwich? You’re like kinda far away from my favorite restaurant.†My family smells like cinnamon and rose petals, but you’ll never know that because you’re not getting this couch. Go bug someone else.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Hey, man, don’t get all crumpled up. I’ll take the couch. I need to find out when my brother’s court date is, but I should be able to pick it up sometime in the next couple weeks.  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com I swear, every time I post something to Craigslist it’s like they gave plankton internet access. I am not waiting two weeks for you to come and pick up this couch. I am not waiting one week for you to come and pick up this couch. This couch is going to the first person who is willing to come and pick it up without inquiring about my smell.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Look, I’m sorry, man. What my brother doesn’t know what hurt him. I’ll grab his truck and come pick it up. Where are you?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com 1432 Alvaro St. in San Mateo. Better hurry.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com San Mateo? Like in California?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com Right, in the Bay Area. Like Bay Area Craiglist?  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com There’s more than one Craigslist? I just typed “couch†into my brother’s computer. I thought you were in New York.  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com Oh well so sad bye now.  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com No, no, that’s cool. I’ll grab a plane and rent a truck. I’ll be there sometime this evening. Could you hang on to the couch for me until then?  To: marquismark@hotmail.com From: tavenerfan23@gmail.com Seriously? You’re going to fly out to California, rent a truck, and DRIVE BACK TO NEW YORK? Just for a couch?  To: tavenerfan23@gmail.com From: marquismark@hotmail.com Hey, man, it’s free. http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/05/alt-text-craigslist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General J May 12, 2009 Share General J Member May 12, 2009 As someone who dealt with selling a lot of furniture on craigslist before a move, I am glad I didn't come across THAT guy! That was classic, even if it is a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
