So, I put some stuff on craigslist.com. I sold a chair in about an hour. But in that hour I had some crazy people email me. One wanted to know "on a scale of 1-10 how squeaky it was". Another wanted to know if I would hold it for a week. There is no layaway plan for craigslist. My favorite is this guy........
He starts with this:
Hello:
Would it be possible, if you could answer all of the following questions, regarding the value, and history of this item?
1. How old is this chair?
2. What did you pay for it, brand new? Where did you buy it?
3. What is the overall condition of the glider...anything cracked, torn in upholstery, etc.
4. Why are you selling it?
5. Would you reconsider accepting a lower offer?
6. How would you rate it, on the "comfort level" and operation level?
I replied:
I am not sure on the age or cost. It is in good shape. We used it for rocking our children and they are too big to be rocked now. I find it to be very comfortable, but that is subjective. We recovered it a few years back.
He then replied:
Thank you for answering some of my questions. But, there were a couple that were not.
1. Would you reconsider accepting a lower offer for this glider?
2. Approximately how old is it?
