Oh yeah, The most precious one was that one that talked about about how big the white G3 ibooks were and how they were rare. Then put the cool price of $1,400 on it. I nearly spit out my coffee. I really gotta stop trolling on craigslist looking for deals. Most of the people out there are either stupid, or just don't try pricing their stuff.

I threw an offer in for a decent trinitron for a friend. I know I could get a monitor at a thriftstore, but this guy had a nice 21" that did an insane resolution.

emailed the guy and offered him $35 for the CRT (it was really nice) and he counter-offered with a price of slightly over $400 "Because it was a special and expensive monitor when it came out"

Yeah, sure... the monitor was released in 2004 and cost a little over $250 for it maybe max.

It would have been nice, but I just gotta roll my eyes at the idiots.

My favorite readings on craigslist are the guys that try to price something "Slightly used" for quite a bit over a brand new one even locally, and some guy responds with several links on the web you can get them for dirt cheap new. The flame wars ensue, good time is had by all and it's just funny watching the soap opera. There was a few good wars the other day. Must've been at least 10 counter posts insulting the other guy. When it got to the "Yo mamma!" I just stopped right there. It was no longer entertaining.

But still, even though those wars are unusual, I get some sort of cheap thrill watching two guys using a sales posting forum to argue.

ChristTrekker, I don't know if you listen to 89.7 The River but they have usually after work, a segment where they read some sorry guy's "Missed connnections" It's hilarious. Some of them are just sad...
