Not going to post my photo!
This afternoon I listed an office chair for free, in good condition. It looked good but the design should have never been sold, it gave me backaches.
This was at my home in town, not at the orchard.
I don't want anyone here I can't identify. I said send your phone #, I'll call you with directions. My CL post just had the major intersection a few blocks away. Call, because I learn more in a conversation than texting would convey. I put the chair at the curb with a Free note.
Four replies in a couple of hours, all wanted to negotiate holding it until some later date to pick it up. No. If the ad's still up then call when you are ready to come over.
9:15 pm we hear noise outside, somebody is rolling the chair down the street. Two blue taillights a foot apart and a few inches off the ground, no other lighting, silent. WTF was that??? Motor wheelchair? A neighbor must have seen Free on it because the CL post hadn't named my street etc.
Anyhow, mission accomplished, the chair is gone. Another Craigslist stranger-than-life adventure.
