AHHHHHHHH!


I get so aggravated sometimes with Craiglist! I found this dresser late last night and thought it would be perfect for our bedroom. No e-mail on the listing, so I waited till the morning to call. I called at 10am and he told me to call back at noon. Called at noon and left a message. He called me back at 4pm. I planned on picking up the piece at 7pm after work. He told me to call when I was on my way for the address. Did just that. But when I called, he said he sold it! NOOOOOO! I was thinking about it all day! I was decorating in my head!

I am so with you! Craigslist is awesome, but some of the folks that have things on there could use a tad more tack. It's so sad to loose out like you did today. Hopefully tomorrow will land you something good! Love your blog, I've been following you for awhile, I think you are close to me, I live in Snohomish!

I totally agree with the others!!
Craigslist can be so good, yet so frustrating. But I also agree that something better is coming your way!!

UGH! Id be so mad! Unlike the others, I havent gotten any furniture on there thus far but after reading this it makes me skeptical to do so in the future! I do hope you find a better piece in the future!

Bad juju and karma for a year to that guy!
I never understand why people feel the need to be a huge jerk.
This just means..........you will find a more better one for less money!
Hey can you contact me by e-mail.

Pamela said...

That would suck!! I had a lady who was selling a buffet and I was on my way out the door and she called to say she changed her mind and wanted to keep it. I dreamed abt it all night long. Feel your pain!

Unknown said...

Mason said...

so..I only know one David...and that's my dad...which would make that comment completely inappropriate. :) So....I'm gonna say that Yvonne is using her husband's account? :) If so--as soon as I have a baby I'm gonna need you to take some pics! :)

Denise said...
