Hi Sue, I just sent you a pm. Can you send me an address to send things to?

I didn't get it but I sent you one.

The cost to box and SHIP those kinds of items is going to be about
the same as BUYING them brand new at a local store!

Rather than spending money at UPS and the Post Office -
buy a GIFT CARD at Wal*Mart or Target - and
let the FAMILY buy the right size and color - and eliminate all the duplicates,
don't fits, and other problems.

Yeah, Phred I figured that. It's just that some people were asking me to post some actual items that they will be needing so I did.
I did state that I am willing to purchanse actual items for them and show pictures of the item as well as the receipt so they know I am truthful. It would eliminate shipping that way.

Just a vent about rude people.

I posted a "wanted" add on Craigslist the other day for furniture for Crystal & her kids. I stated that I am looking for cheap or free items as my family had lost a home to a fire.
I am lucky as I have gotten a few replies (none were free, but thats ok, my dad is buying the couch & beds lol). But one reply threw me for a loop, a big loop.

A woman replied stating she has 2 end tables that I can have for probably nothing and the pics of them were attached to the email. They were virus free so I opened them (to see if it would be worth the drive). What I saw put me into tears, not one, not two but THREE pictues all of firemen fighting house fires. They were pretty graphic. I couldn't believe it. I was in total shock.

I politely emailed her back, thinking maybe just maybe she was looking for pics of Crystals house fire (even though these pics were NOT of her house) and accidently attached them by mistake. She replied back to, exact quote "what else were you expecting, after all you were asking for free items".

How low can one get? I can not believe the nerve of some people.

Does anyone know if craigslist has any rules against spam or whatever else this would be considered? Can I report her to them?

i don't know what Craigslist is but I am sure there is some rule about that. I would email them with the details.

How extremely rude! I think you should report her, even though I know nothing about Craigslist.

I've been following this thread, just haven't replied since I don't really have anything to give.

WHAT?? You have GOT to be kidding - that was pretty sick of her to do. I don't understand why she would do that at all WOW that's really low.......
