WHY YOU NO READ?

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of people not reading the damned ad. It's even worse when every single one of their questions is answered by said ad. Then he proceeds to lowball me ($499 retail) with some ridiculous offer.

+1405: is the tablet for sale and is it the 8.9 version galaxy tablet 11:45 PM

Me: Yes it is 12:23 AM

Me: Per the ad it is the galaxy tab 2 10.1 12:24 AM

+1405: it's the galaxy tab 2 att version? 12:24 AM

Me: Yes 12:25 AM

+1405: ok so this is the dual core processor not the new Quad core processor i see 12:31 AM

Me: Yes dual core.... Just like the ad says 12:31 AM

+1405: can you please send me the ad link again 12:32 AM

Me: http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ele/3883386062.html 12:33 AM

+1405: oh ok 12:35 AM

+1405: how long have you had it 12:35 AM

Me: a month 12:36 AM

+1405: :-( you wouldn't take 200 would you 12:37 AM

Me: no 12:37 AM

+1405: thanks i guess il keep looking 12:38 AM

Me: k 12:38 AM 

 

For context, here is my ad:

WTT Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for ATT iPhone 5 or Note 8.0 - $1

Wife wants an iPhone 5 for AT&T. Don't care what size or what color. I will also trade for an AT&T Galaxy Note 8.0. I need something a little smaller.

Must be in like new condition.

Galaxy Tab 2 is in perfect condition and will come with all original accessories and box.
I like it but just don't need it since we use the iPads more. It is about a month old and gotten maybe 3 hours of usage playing movies. This is not the wifi edition, it is the AT&T LTE edition - which has the faster dual core processor (1.5ghz vs 1.0ghz) and can play full HD with no problems. Runs android 4.2

WWW-WeirdWiredWireless

405: Do u still have router 11:35 AM
Me: i have quite a few, which are you interested in? 11:36 AM
405: The one for 10$ I think 11:40 AM
405: Do have others that have everything that are cheap 11:55 AM
Me: are you looking for a wireless one? or wired 11:56 AM
405: Probably wireless. I am looking to hook up a few different devices like Xbox and iPhone and laptop and I don't have a desk top11:58 AM
405: But it needs to hook up to a modem 11:59 AM
Me: the ones i have are only wire'd unfortunately. i know someone selling some Linksys wireless routers, and a few Netgear but they are $30 if you're interested i can get you in touch. he is in edmond but works downtown & could meet somewhere in his normal route 11:59 AM
405: What's the difference between wireless and wired 12:18 PM
Me: i'm not sure how to answer. One is wireless and one is wired. Your iphone needs wireless, because you cannot connect a wire to the iphone to get internet from a wired router 12:27 PM
405: Oh ok 12:53 PM

okay so i legitimately  didn't know how to answer that without being a dick. The answer to the question was in the question? i even tried to hook a guy up when i didn't have what they were looking for...
oh well. sometimes  People can't be helped

Craigslist RANTs

Those of you who know me, know that I post things like this on Craigslist all the time when I think someone is in the wrong. Usually it's because their price is ludicrously high or they are just trying to scam someone. Most of the time people actually email me to say "Thank you" or "I was thinking the same thing". Sometimes the owner of the original ad emails me to chew my ass for being a dick to them.

My pet peeve is when other people write rants in a Craigslist ad and it comes off sounding like the author is some illiterate redneck that is sitting in his shack behind the 7-11. Here is a prime example of one:

RERE:AMMX ELECTRONICS Is A Scam (Sw Okc)

So i have been in t his shop the old man is not very clean he way over price and talks a big game but he does not know what he is doing nor how can you charge so much for power supply's this man gives all small computer shops a bad name he does not pay people nor all the laptops he does have in the shop are junk or maybe stole who knows he smoke like a train in the shop i even think he lives in the back cause it smell like butt when you walk in i would never go back in there again this place should be shut down don't go there cause sec hand smoke is worst then just smoking dont wasted your time there 

 

 

 

People.... if you're going to rant, please at least try to sound 1 IQ point smarter than the person you are bashing. There are these things called shift keys and punctuation.... I mean I don't have perfect grammar, but at least I know how to put a period here and there. Geez.

I...think...I'm...Texting...William...Shatner

405: Need..to..kno..address..to..see..watr..pump 7:12 AM
Me: let me dig it up and I can meet at XXXX and XXXX there's a shell station. can meet later this evening once I find it 7:36 AM
