So, since I've opened up shop I'm using craigslist free ads to give away items that I wouldn't ordinarily sell to get people to come to the store. It works out really well and typically I don't put on the ad things like "no resellers". This time I put up a free ad and added "for a family in need. NO RESELLERS" I also asked to send an email before coming to the store and tell me why they need the items.. they were baby items, a bottle warmer, bottles, burp cloths, etc.
A guy sends an email with a sob story about how he is broke and been out of work for years. He has hit rock bottom. His wife is due in a few weeks with their first and they have nothing because they don't have the money to buy. It was a very sad story..
So the guy comes into the store today to pick up his free items for his pregnant wife and...... it's a guy from the auction circuit.. and his wife is not pregnant, I've seen her before at auctions.. When he came in, I didn't think he was there for the free stuff, because he can't be the same guy who wrote the story. And then, he asks for the free baby stuff.. and I was like, "your wife is pregnant?" "uhhh.. yeah.." he replies. I gave him the stuff, but what a degenerate!
Guess who now has a HUGE target on his back? As long as I'm at an auction, I'll be sure he won't be getting a locker.. and I'll be telling this story around the circuit. Guys like him make me sick!
