one time i posted a beard trimmer on craigslist and a guy came over to look at it and when i handed it to him he just started using it on his face/neck

i mean even if he didn't buy it i prob would have just given it to him

That sounds great! I got a microwave a few months ago for $30 - this particular model is $100 new and it looked like it had never been used. Haven't had any problems with it so $30 well spent! I hope you have the same luck!

Everyone always makes a bedbug joke, but in fact bedbugs only appear in about 7% of furniture purchased secondhand. And 99% of the time they can easily be eliminated with apple cider vinegar and fenugreek.

You can get the same deals at Goodwill or other thrift store and the chance of being stabbed is at least 7% lower.

Just a few weeks ago I walked out of Goodwill with a perfectly functional and clean cable modem/wifi router and a network switch. And it cost me $15.

That's funny because I was once in a goodwill when some crazy homeless person came in and ran around with a knife. Luckily they left and ran across the street to a walgreens and I got to watch the police arrest them.

Anyway, based on my personal experience I would say you're at least 88% more likely to get stabbed at a goodwill then a craigslist transaction.

Well you have to use organic fenugreek. Let me guess, you just bought a cheap jar and thought that would do the trick??

I bought an Alienware 15in laptop for like 200. Went to a mall like 20 minutes away from me, dude was like an hour late. The sun was going down and mall was closing when he rolled up on a bike, wearing a wife beater, and full sleeves and I was like 'this is how I die'. He handed me the bag, smelling so strong of cigarettes, weed, and who knows what drug, and inside was like a brand new computer. Through my white person fear of 'urbans' I ask where the install disks are. He agrees that 'those shits are expensive' and knocks $100 off the 300 asking price. I drive home thinking I bought a stolen computer, but later he texts me if I want buy the disks that came with. I decline, having upgraded to windows 10.

Moral of the story: alienware makes ugly laptops that I don't bring anywhere because I don't need that gamer vibe

I don't even bother posting free poo poo on craigslist. I just put it out front and put a sign on it that it's free and it's gone in like half an hour. At my old house I didn't even need to put a sign on it!

maybe thats why american men no longer know how tools work, or to not buy them made of plastic from china

I tried to give away a couch one time and put a sign up in a grocery store where the poors and college students live and a week later my brother and I carried down and put it in a store parking lot for them to deal with because no one had called. The next day I got I think five calls about it.
