So, we are trying to sell our little hot tub that came with the house. We cleaned it, moved it, bought a new filter, power washed it, cleaned it again, and shocked it. It’s all cute and working. Almost makes me want to keep it. But that wasn’t the hard part for me. The hard part was posting it on craigslist.
I’ve heard a horror story or two from everyone I know. Their account gets hacked, or someone chops up their body in to little pieces…I mean, it’s just sketchy. So of course, fame name/unused email/carefully loading the browser/tough password are all things you can try to protect yourself with, but I’m still terrified.
I don’t want to get any answers. I want someone to wire me the money and then get the hot tub while I’m gone and have it not even be from my house so they don’t come back. I’ll have strong neighbors come by so that they will be intimidated by all the big beefy men and not try any funny stuff.
I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep until it’s over. And I delete my account. And give my laptop a detox bath.
Skeeeeezie.
Please reassure me this won’t happen to me!
I’m concerned for the buyer!
You could just have a reeeeeeeeally small garage sale. Invite the neighbors over and spend a pretty Saturday morning keeping the hot tub company in front of your house.
We drove by a yard sale in this neigborhood and the guy was serving mimosas and bloody marys. I love where I live.
NH wouldnt let me sell an old couch on craigslist for these same reasons. Instead it went on the corner the night before bulk-trash collection day. It was magically gone before we went to bed. We later realized that people check the bulk-trash schedules and then go drive through the neighborhoods looking for usefull items, like an old, slightly stained couch. Now I don’t know whether craigslist or bulk-trash day scares me more.
hahahahaha ASH. So far one guy actually called and offered to ‘trade’ guns. I was all, are we in Texas or what?!?!
