Some of you feel sorry for this lamp. That is because you're crazy. It has no feelings, and the new one is much better.

With the anonymous nature of craigslist, I would totally say 'fuck off karen' to anyone that demands I drive them a free item
mondomar
This is precisely my experience most times

Selling a Fjallraven raincover on German eBay. Guy wrote yesterday to ask if it was an original backpack -_-

NGL most people looking at free stuff on CL probably can't afford the transportation. I see great deals all the time that I pass because --
dereklarsen
-- it's like in a suburb the next city over.

Playstation 3. Good condition. Works great. $90 obo. Pick-up only. "How much for the Xbox? Can you deliver? Does it work? I only have $30."
fredh67
Mine was selling my cars - gave make, model, year, color, mileage; everything I would want to know, and still got "what year|color|mileage?"
TheYoungJaywalker
Kevin McShane! I love this guy!
DarkwingDuc
This is the guy from the Animator Vs. Cartoonist videos on YouTube. If you haven't seen them, they're a lot of fun.

My roommate put his bed on Facebook for free and it was gone in a half hour. He didn’t feel like moving it when our lease was up
DanielAsparagus
That’s a baller move. I know a young guy who works in pharmaceutical and he just gives away his appliances when he moves.
abacab87
The trick is to set it outside and put: for sale: $200, it will be stolen in ten minutes.
Maldraek
"Sure! Fifty bucks."

This needs to go on r/ChoosingBeggars.

its clearly inspired by those posts, its probably been there / started there

Can you post it for me with my profile name watermarked on it? You have to watermark it yourself of course. But it's great exposure for you!

Lamp is free. Lamp *delivery* on the other hand...
LostInTheZone
Yes I'm a single mother of 3 rescue lab rats who I can't leave alone so would you mind delivering it to Canada for me?
Muffyns
The problem isnshipping and handeling is > free
ilavalamp
S&H to Canada is stupid expensive sometimes...
AJ6998
I literally had this happen to me.Someone on Facebook was looking for a food dehydrator.I offered it for free and they asked me to deliver
curlthuluuuu
Craigslist furnished my apartment when I was in college and had no car. If it was free I would offer $20-50 (item based) for delivery.
CatsUpvoteTerror
The main reason why I put things for free on Craigslist list is because I don't want to move it
DaveTheScientist
Me as well. But for $20-50 a pop, I probably would have been delivering them.
Munchman347
'No'?... Is that so hard?...
IsThatA380InMyPocketOrAmIHappyToSeeYou
Tried to give away my couch for free, all they needed to do was come get it and move it themselves. Most asked for delivery or help moving..
xVVitch
Same. Gave away a loveseat free and they wanted it brought to them 40 minutes away. Soon as i said no "oh i guess I'll see if my brother
xVVitch
will let me borrow his truck." Never replied again after that so i threw it on the curb for trash pick up or whatever came first.
DanFendi
Whenever someone does this, I charge them U-Haul rates plus $40. They usually clam up after that.
Snooj
I posted a free iPad with broken screen on CL once. The first respondent asked if I could drive it 15 minutes away and I said yes for 1-
Snooj
a delivery fee of $20 and she asked why if it was free. She understood when I explained it but the fact that she had to ask ... ugh. 2-2

Trying to sell a bike (for 1/3 what I paid for it) and have basically the same thing -__- Craigslist suuuuucks
Camelspotting
Bikes are absurdly overpriced.

I feel like all online platforms should have a downvote option.
AroAce
Why ?
10tacles
It is pretty bad that you can hide opinions based on popularity instead of logic and reliable sources.
prodmerc
No. The downvote button is the bane of social media. TLDR? downvote. Didn't understand? Downvote. Just dumb? Downvote? Asshole? Downvote.
Giveemtheaxe
I really want to downvote you just to be contrarian...I'm not, but damn do I want to.

ALL social media. ALL. The social anarchy the DAY after Facebook adds a thumbs down button...

"Do you still have for sale?" "Yes." "Is it working?" "Yes, it is in mint condition, even with warranty." "OK, I'm not interested."
RhymingEverything
Looking for a deal on a broken item to flip maybe?
mdzmdz
Some people like their sex toys well used.
sweetandsaltymemes
Shopping around —> concurrently found a better option —> no longer interested. At least they replied to let you know!
ilavalamp
Yeah I appreciate someone letting me know. Same goes for any interaction (e.g. job interview, prospective clients, scheduled meetings)
NotSoSmartAlek
Or they're hipsters and wanted something preused. :P
xVVitch
Most people will just leave it on "read."
experiencemike
Yeah because most people don't have good social skills. Schools need to teach kids how to socialize since all they do is stare at a screen.
experiencemike
Know when it's appropriate to say certain things. Understand what emotions can do when you're in a tough situation. This is important to kno
experiencemike
I don't necessarily think the schools should be teaching this but I know I was a social lackwit until I taught myself how to small talk

Hello, I am interest in your ITEM NAME. I will pay you with check in Five thousands dollar. Deposit check and give change me with ITEM.
TRYoungn
Or.. You’re selling an item? I’m gonna send a random ass person to your house to to collect it and ship it half way around the world.
TRYoungn
...here’s a blank check! Make sure you cash it as soon as possible!
FlyingButtPliers
Then: Be my sugar baby! I want to give you hundreds of dollars! Me: K, here's my venmo. Them: I only do bank acct username n passwords
JQQJ
Lol had someone try to do this to me. Wonder if anyone actually falls for it.
SpraynardYitzben
tons of people do. Source - I work at a bank and tons of people are shocked when the cheques bounce
SpraynardYitzben
Not necessarily the sugar daddy, but plenty of romance scams happen
lronMaiden
What's venmo?
Iknowphotoshop
Payment app, like cash app or PayPal.
FlyingButtPliers
A way to receive payment but can't be used to steal money like direct bank account access can. Proves they don't want to just give you money
lronMaiden
Direct bank account access as in direct bank transfer? How can it be abused?? It's the primary way of paying in here.
FlyingButtPliers
Basically like all spammers they prey on the stupid. They tell you they can only pay you with your online username and password of your bank
Oscill8s
No like "Give me your bank login and password and your secret question answer" kind of direct account access.
ChlebaNamazanejHovnem
In normal countries people PUSH money from their account to others. In murica you give someone your account number and they PULL from it.
abacab87
The worst is when they ask you to hold it because they are coming from a distance, and then they don't show and don't call.
abacab87
So now I say "nope, first come first serve"
LeviathanOmega
Hate holding things. Guy asked me to hold a £100 sale for him. Did so. 2 weeks. Message on day we agreed. 'Oh, I already got another'. 1/
LeviathanOmega
Needless to say I swore. 2/2
abacab87
Yea, now I do a strict "first come, first serve"
LeviathanOmega
MY approach now is literally 'You pay or it remains on sale. End of. Not holding. Someone else buys it before you? Tough shit.'

I think it's a deliberate choice by the artist and not a coincidence, but still, it is not real and doesn't "show" anything about women

Hey, I called today and couldn't get a pie. Stop posting fake stuff. Also, do you deliver pies? I live across the country, can you mail it?

Call? A stranger? While I'm not being paid to call them? Seems like Janice might be a psychopath.

I'm actually glad this is common. At least everyone is equally dumb and I don't need to move to some magical country.
TakeTheStairs
no no its not common. it just gets posted over and over again giving the illusion of commonality

One of the core axioms is that people are people, no matter where you go....Problem is, people. are. people.

In 4th grade we did a project where we had our own shop. I had a sign with prices. Constantly asked for info that was on the sign. *twitch*

Clara could be legit, she might be deaf or unable to make a call. Let’s be honest who likes making calls in this day n age
RetailCat
She was never given an email though. Responding to the ad instead or sending a private message would work much more to their favor.
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Do you mean Tara? Clara is sending e-mails to whoknowswhere, Tara at least messaged the number.
RozzAMcGee
She doesn't specify how the message was sent, could have been a dm
LarvaLamp
Deaf people can't eat pies. Why do you think they're deaf in the first place?

Mary could be legit. The barter system is a great way to exchange goods and services.
Drachma
"my family can't afford $ right now" is the annoying thing people say tho Without that part you're just asking for bulk dis which is more ok
LarvaLamp
Only if it's offered as an option, otherwise, pay the advertised price.
WookieWookieWookie
She's not trying to barter, she's trying to haggle, which is unacceptable in most places in the western world.
kruug
Most professional retail locations, sure. But CL, Facebook, etc, are all open for haggling.
kruug
If you want a set price, use a consignment shop.
LarvaLamp
Or just say "five bucks, take it or leave it."
