Craigslist still sucks in my area.

And I am super lazy. I have to call some asshole stranger, drive to a location, awkward exchange, make sure the disc/carts are decent since people are pigs, etc. etc. etc.

I am just going to give up and not bother checking it anymore. =(

And also to the Sims 3 expansion pic, I am definitely going to keep the conviction and boycott anything EA related, except maybe Bioware stuff, when it drops in price :P

An experience that seems a bit shady...

Started yesterday afternoon...I saw an ad for a ps1 mini with a bag, controllers and a couple sports games. Price was all right but distance was a bit of a drive. I sent an email telling him I'd take it and if he'd be available today.

He replies back asking for my number (yet never gave me his). I guess to see if I was legit? Well I sent him my number and he then replied back saying that the system is still available (meanwhile this was like an hr after he posted the ad) and his price was firm and gives me an intersection address stating that he's a few blocks away from there. Then he asks for a "FIRM" time that I can be there and that he'd confirm that he's available...and again to make sure Im 100% positive I can be there.

I tell him I can be there at a specific time and that I'm positive I can make it. Well...since that last email he sent I haven't heard back from him...I believe he might have tried calling me but seeing as how I don't pick up numbers I don't recognize I just let it go to voice mail (left no message though...probably cause I have the default message still set). Since then I haven't heard from him. I emailed him this morning that I needed the info by 10 so I can be there on time as per his request...but still nothing.

I'm thinking that he just expects me to drive to a random location and that at the time I told him i'd be there to pick up is when he'd send me his info. I mean it's not like this is some drug deal or anything but he's acting as if someone's out to get him.

Anyway, at this point even if I hear back from him I'm just gonna let it go since I just don't feel comfortable anymore meeting up with him if he's being this secretive...just sucks that he has my number now and possibly email address :/
