Love the Craigslist =)

Dear "Fred"
I'd like to own your Volvo but unfortunately the table being used only 3 times is just not acceptable. Is there any chance you could use it one more time so I may take a picture with you next to it? Obviously we'd need your lawyer to be there in order to determine the authenticity of my photograph. I've heard through the Volvo community that these tables are defective if used under 4 times.

I've heard that carrying wine in the car can cause that noise. The more wine consumed, the more hiss you get as you attempt to stuff free-range cats into the car in preparation for an authentic korean dinner. Do you have a cat? Is it available to go with the car? Is it well fed?

Sorry to hear about the crabs. Did you by chance freeze them? Rumor has it they are quite tasty if smoked in alder. Would you like to try some?

Exactly how much money are you willing to offer me to take the car? I think the $1,100 you offered is a bit low. Do you think we could do something around $1,500?

I'm so sorry to hear about the installation of a custom cup holder in your rear. I hope the doctors can correct this.

...No, I didn't send this - sounds like the guy is having one heck of a bad year...

Dear god...lmfao!! This all started out with yogi and boo boo and the pic-a-nic basket and here we are with free range cats lol ...this guy might end up being Buffalo Bob from the silence of the lambs and come hunt everyone down.
Always first off the line, while all the cool people are still staring at their phones.
