Sorry it took me so long to get back to blogging. The snots took longer to go away than planned and then catching up on all the things I ignored while I had the snots took longer than expected. You would think that I would be used to being constantly interrupted all the time and not being able to finish things with the boys, yet I'm still surprised at my lack of progress.
Anyway, I have a little rant and wonder if I'm the only one. I have sold a few things on CraigsList. I have had both positive and negative encounters with this. The worst encounter was when someone tried to scam me with a fake check. But mostly, I'm a little appalled that people are VERY rude. Saying that they will be coming at a certain time to get said item, only to not show. And I get that stuff comes up, but to not send an e-mail or call to say that they can't make it? Or that they have changed their mind, etc. Like I have nothing better to do but wait around for YOU. Or Try to sell the item to someone who REALLY wants it. Just because you don't know me, doesn't mean that you can be rude. Manners people. It puts your character in question.

Hi Ali! It's Rachel... formerly from EH. Nice to see your blog.
It's funny that you posted this because I just had the same rudeness. MULTIPLE people tried to low-ball me by offering HALF of what I asked for on Craigslist. Hello? I didn't say "best offer" jerks.
I wanted to email all of them back and told them my item was gone and I did receive the asking price...
Hey! So good to hear from you! Yes, I have had many people do that to me as well, EVEN when I said "price NOT negotiable". When I sold my jogging stroller, I had people e-mail me to tell me that Target had the same stroller on sale brand new for $65 except that the front tire didn't swivel like mine (I was asking $50 for the stroller that I paid $130 for 2 years ago). Fine, go buy it at Target then. I KNOW it's not the same stroller. Nice try. UGH.
