I saw someone advertising a B&W monitor for free on CL. So I email the guy and asked
if it was complete and can he send a photo to see if I can use it in my space invaders.
I didn't want to make an hour drive to find something I can't use. Well, he emailed me
back, "Its free, I will not take any photos. Take it or leave it."
 
...not sure who's side I'm on on this one... :confused: Sorry. He does have a point.
 
is it really that much trouble to take a photo? I guess I have a different outlook on doing stuff like this. There has been many a time I took photos of stuff I gave away. Including the free Battlezone cab I gave away a time ago.

Well, I am not going to make the hour drive, to find its a 13" monitor.

Could be a vector! :eek:
 
I've given away craploads of stuff for free and always include a picture with the listing. Saves people hounding you later or showing up and not taking the stuff.

That said... I can easily see both sides of this one.

Easy call, CL'r all the way! When I offered up cabs for free, I would no way in heck waste time taking pics of something for free.

You could offer him $5 paypal to take a pic of it :)

yea free is free you cant really bitch

i just got done cleaning out a basment full of computer parts for free (got a whole truck load of stuff)the catch was i had to take 9 foot work bench a new hp server rack and help the gal move a computer desk upstairs

i asked my buddy to give me a hand and we would split proffits/parts

on the way out there my buddy was like if there is a bunch of crap im going to yell at the lady
i told him not to make a fool out of him self free is free if i have to take a pile of crap to get a 500$ server rack and fullhalf stack with 3 eq's and everything i will

we got there and the lady had 3 cats that had sprayed all over her basment my buddy was bitchig more than a teen girl at her prom

i say well worth the smell and having to load like 5 boxes of old 3 gig hd's and misc old duron 462 motherboards


we ended up with 10 working 1.8 ghz computers(can you say mame rigs lol)
full band setup with pa amps,eq's and cd mixer(priced it all out valued at around 6,000$ new)
full hp server rack (already sold for 500$)
huge box of working power suplies
hugebox of workingcdrw/dvd rom drives
huge box of 20-80 gig hd's
2 g3 imac laptops (just sold bolth for 100$)
and a ton of other misc good stuff

my buddy is still bitching that he is sore and we had to haul the desk up for her hes such a huge vag
 
So most of you on here would rather have people come to your house, and possibly not take the item, and wasting your time, versus taking a photo, and avoiding wasting my time and thiers. Might as well just put the item to the curb and post the listing.

Ohh well, let it go to the landfill, because I am not going for a hour drive without more info........

I am sure I will not be the only one who will ask for info and a photo.
 
I think you should just reply back that you're an hour away and still interested... if he can't give it away locally just tell him to shoot you a picture so you can make sure it's something you need before you was 2 hours of your day driving.
 
yea and the bad thing is hes bitching so much and does not want to help box everything up and get it listed i was over there last nigh and hekept trying to get someone els to carry the boxes i already sorted and packed to his basement

he bitche slike a girl saying he does not have any pot so he cant do anything lol freaking pot head iused to smoke all the time who ever heard of a pot head being lazy when hes not stoned lol
 
Catch 22

Free does warrant no work ..... howeverr the seller (is he a seller when it's free??) anyway the seller should know better than to list a monitor with out at least stating if there's tube burn or if the tube is scratched. That freakin pisses me off and most of the time they don't list the specifics because the tube is indeed garbage. And my last bitch is most people have different ideas about what is considered good or bad. Pictures pictures pictures if it's an hour or further away otherwise I'd just not even attempt to conatct the "seller".
