I really needed a drink one day about 2 months ago and had no cash, so I decided to sell my used Nintendo Wii system on craigslist for an insanely low price of $100 (with 2 games including mario galaxy) in one hour I had 3 emails from buyers, I sent them all my cell phone number and address and told them the first one to show up gets it.

The guy who showed up first told me a lame story about how his son had only given him $90 and asked if I would take that, I said no because $100 is a great deal as it is, then he said he could give me the other $10 on a wal-mart gift card but the card had $40 on it so he would have to drive to wal-mart and spend $30 and then give me the card. basicaly he was trying to get me to give in and take the $90 but I had no problem with headin to wal-mart so he finaly gave in and pulled a $100 bill from his wallet and offered me another $100 for my 23inch lcd tv/monitor which I need for my pc of course.

So thats one problem with craigslist is having to deal with vultures.. thats what I call people like that.
