Title: The best craigslist e-mail coversation ever.
Post by: Slim-Shaddy on February 17, 2011, 02:48:00 PM
This is spawned from my ad to trade my Focal speakers. The interested party calls himself Jbug. Enjoy...
 
Jbug: I have a new pair of Klipsch RF62 II towers, I recently pay $1000 for them.  I will trade you these for your speakers and a $100, you need to deliver them since I dont have a car.  My speakers are perfect.  Whats wrong with yours?  If you want to trade I will hit you up with my cell number.  JBug

Me: There's nothing wrong with my speakers. I might be interested in the trade, but I'd need about $300 on top of the klipsches. The Focals are in a whole other league of speakers. They cost $2500 new and according to audioreview.com they retailed for $3999. The klipsches are going for around $900 currently on crutchfield. The last pair of cobalt 826's that sold went for $1100.
Let me know,
Ed

Jbug: No man, I wanted the $100 and delivery.  My speakers are brand new for real.  Yours are older, no way you paid $4000 for them.  Just give me the $100 and your speakers and we can deal.  Your is older, mine are brand new months old serious.  I got the boxes and papers.  I gots a 5 year waranty, what kind of waranty yours got?  I will throw in a $23 gift card to best buy.You want my number, we dealing now.  JBug

Me: Sorry, I'll have to pass on that one.

JBug:What playa, I just thought we were gettin down to the nitty gritty, those speaks would look tight next to my 52" plazma.  What will it take, I kinda need that $100.  Even trade, I keep thebest buy gift card.  JBug

Me: Hahaha. Are you serious? No deal man. I'm not interested in the Klipsches.

JBug: Why you laughing?  My baby mama wants them and she get want she wants.  My check dont come in til next month.  My speaks and some rims five spoke crome16s look good on a camry, my boy 2tone can set you up with some tires for $100.  and the best buy gift card, you gots to deliver them tho.  My girl is gonna kill me if I mess this up.  help a brotha out JBug

Me: HAHHAH!!! You've gotta be messing with me! who is this? I'm hoping this is a joke, cause you've got me cracking up. If this isn't a joke, I'm sorry for your situation, but this e-mail chain is definitely going to the best of craigslist!!
