Dear Person from Craigslist who wants my exersaucer

Dear Person on Craigslist Who Wants My Exersaucer,

Wow! You have got some nerve!

I listed my only-used-by-one-baby exersaucer on Craigslist today for $20. I paid over $50 for it so it is a win-win situation for all. I get a big, clunky not-used-anymore toy out of my house and someone gets a good deal on a must-have baby item.

Then you called. You have an interest in my exersaucer, but you do not want to pick it up. You want me to drive it to you at your convenience. Because you do not want to drive in the rain. I guess it is OK for me to drive in the rain though? Interesting.

Have you seen gas prices lately? It would cost at least $10 in gas for me to drive this thing to you.

This is a neat toy, and $20 is a fair price. $10 is not.

So, Bargain Hunter, I don't think this deal is the right deal for either of us.

Shocked and amazed,
MomOf3

Good For You! I get so frustrated when I have really low priced items in excellent shape in our garage sales and people try to dicker down to nothing. Whomever wrote that knows how good of a p[rice $20 for an exersaucer is and was trying to take advantage.

Wow - I'm flabbergasted that someone would even have the nerve to ask that! Even $20 is a good price for an Exersaucer - I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding someone else who wants it and is willing to pick it up. :)
