Default Craigslist

In my continuing effort to clean out the Stacks O Stuff, I
occasionally put things on Craigslist.

I posted a set of 4 tires and rims for pre 1966 VWs..the open center
type. $50 for a set of 4, just to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
Good tires and wheels.

Guy emails me, wants photos. So I sent em to him.

He apparently lives over in Bakersfield, a 32 mile drive.

He then asks if I can deliver them. Free.

I say my wife is over there a couple times a week, but he is sure
asking a lot for $50.

He emails back all ****y, that it costs him $50 to drive the 64 mile
round trip, and the tires and rims arent worth $100 to him.

So I email him back and tell him that its a bit much asking my
handicapped wife to load two tires in her car, deliver them, then make
a return trip with two more, all for free.

But since I want them gone and he was willing to spend $50 on them,
Ill give them to him free, no charge, gratis if he drives over and
picks them up, as I dont often see too many vehicles that get 3 miles
per gallon on the hiway and it would be fun to look at.

Ive not heard from the ****er yet.

Geeze..some peoples kids.....
Hummm...sounds like a couple folks here who have been offered free
machines in good working condition who wanted em delivered several
hundred miles away.....
