It’s Tough Craigslistin
Free speech means the right to shout ‘theatre’ in a crowded fire.

I recently (as in today) had to give away a ton of free stuff that was basically crafty things and some wedding stuff. So I listed it all on Craiglist because really, where else would I list them?
I explained in detail what I had and told the responders to please tell me the colors they would like. I said I had a TON of stuff. So most responses I got was “I’ll take everything! LOL!” and they probably meant it. I said I don’t want to give everything to one person, do they have something specific in mind. Most responses: “Probably everything! LOL!” Right.
Um. No.
The ones I did reply to (and gave extra bonuses for showing up) got a lot more goodies than what they thought they were getting. So for all you Craiglisters out there.. here’s a little tip. 1) Give a good reply to someone because you never know if someone is nitpicking you 2) SHOW UP! You never know when they might sweeten the pot.
