I recently posted for sale on Craigslist some custom made Chevrolet signs. As usual, it was entertaining. I stated on CL i had these two signs, gave a price that included shipping.

The ad:

I have these two very nice flanged signs that are in my shop not doing me any good. They are CNC and powder coated Chevrolet red. In perfect condition.

The first $75 takes them, that includes shipping anywhere in the lower 48.

Location: 24171


Angie Pittman didn't seem to comprehend that I had listed exactly what I was selling.

The emails went like this:


Angie "where are you located & what other signs do you have ? anything original ? old ?"

Me "I have two Chevrolet bow-tie signs - $75 shipped."

Angie "sooo, thats a yes ? no ? kinda didnt answer the question.. location ?"

Me "My previous email tells you everything you need to know. Thanks for asking."

Angie "whatever you say pal, nevermind I guess.. craigslist is overan by weirdos & time wasters.."
 
Gotta love it!

I saw the report card!


Angie plays well with others but is lacking in communication and reading comprehension skills.
 
So are you selling signs or are you looking for 75.00 for a ship? im confused.

just kiddin
 
Hey I posted ads this summer that clearly stated I was LOOKING for a boat, and each time I'd get at least 2-3 calls/texts/emails asking about the boat I had for sale. #-o Idiots
 
Come on !!! I know you've heard of Angie's List. That's how she checks people out !! No weirdos or time wasters for her !!!! [-X :wink:

BTW - Did you ask her location ?? Given her rather obvious lack of intelligence, you might have at least offered to stop by and water her twice a week. [-X
 
Oh, it's getting better.



This time it Denny/Dennis: What colors are the signs? You say red but they look orange?

How large are they - will they fit my 1997 Geo Prism?

Does the shipping cover the cost of the nice oak board? How much for just the board?


Thanks so much


Denny



Me: They are what is called Chevrolet red, which a Chev guy knows is orange. Probably wont "fit" a prism.


Denny: How about selling the board?


Me: Sure. It is a treated lumber pine board attached to a picnic table. $1000 and you pick it up.



And lets not leave out Timmy.


Timmy: Those are exactly what I have been looking for! I am
extremely interested in at least one of the chevy
signs.

Can you give me some more info please - what are the
dimensions?

Are they original paint?

Where are they from?

I see they are mounted to a wooden board - can they be
removed of do you require that they remain as a unit?

Any additional information would be most helpful


Thanks you so very much - GO CHEVY!


Me: Sold only as a pair. Roughly 12". And they aren't attached
to the picnic table. Thanks.



Timmy: Would you also consider selling the picnic table? I would need a place to store the signs and like how you have them displayed


Me: Sure! $1000 and you pick it up.



Heres the link to the ad:

2sac » Today, 10:57[/url]"]Can I get 1/2 the board for $500? :lol:


A half board is $2k.
Guess I have to pay for labor to cut the board in half. :twisted:
 
I've deleted the ads for the signs, so the link no longer works. Here are the pics.
