Craigslist Adventures and Sitemeter Milestone
Yay! I passed the 6,000 mark on sitemeter! Thank you to all my dediated fans and family members. :)
In other news, craigslist works, but its people are cheap. A woman named Robin who works at the census bureau came today to pick up some bed risers I had listed for $10 per set. I had two sets and she wanted both. Fine.
I said meet me at my place at 530. She calls at 4:55 and says she's almost there and hopes she can pick them up early. I get the message at 5:05 and call back to say i'm leaving work now and will meet her at 530. She says, "I can't pick them up early?" I say "No, I couldn't leave work early for this."
So I get home at the already-mentioned 530, meet her, give her the goods, and she asks if i'll take $15, which is all she has. Who inconveniences me like that and then cheaps out? I said someting to that effect and she said, this is really all i have.
Ok, what ever.

Congrats on the milestone.
Same things happen to me on Craig's List. Happened with a lawnmover and a grill. People get there and then that's 'all they have.' Sheesh. Just tell me that on the phone so I can at least wait a day and see if there are any other takers.
Weird. I definitely know her. That's where I used to work.
How did you get past 6,000 already? I've been at this for almost 4 years and just passed 5,000!
I think we could count hits differently. Maybe you only count unique users but I could everytime one user visits the page... There are many odd options like that.
Or I could just have a few wildly popular postings that attract readers. I get 10 or so readers a day who visit looking for info about an eye doctor's office at pentagon city that I reviewed months ago. It's by far the most popular search. One thing I like about sitemeter is that it shows you what brought people to the site. Interesting info.
That's funny that you know the person. I was annoyed that she wanted to stiff me $5. I made it so cheap I thought whoever got them would just be happy.
I sold a chair for $10 and the woman was happy to give me it, but did give me 4 ones and 4 quarters...
I'll say it again: Craigslist people are weird.
All people are weird,whenever you work with the public...They want something for nothing...
just human nature
