Your old office chair has been sitting in the garage for about a year. It's still in pretty good condition. "Why not sell it on Craigslist" your partner says. You put an ad on the for sale section: <<< Scaron black office chair - $30 Archer Prospect Heights, Pittburgia Good condition, all parts working. Pickup only. Attachments: 5 great pictures of the chair Do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers <<< [[Check your email]]

[[Bob Bobson - The chair]] [[sarah- Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Mike - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[colickyboi - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Joe - Scaron black office chair - $30]]

<<< Hey is the chair still availble? -bob <<< [[Reply]] [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]]

The email reads <<< What color is the chair? - Sarah <<< [[Reply to Sarah]] [[Ignore and check email again]]

You reply <<< Yes Bob, are you interested? <<< [[You get a reply from Bob]]

<<< ok, can u deliver, I'm at 232 Winding Road, Schmitteberg. <<< You google the address. It's 20 miles away. [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]] [[Reply to bob again]]

<<< Hey Bob, sorry but I can't deliver, I don't have a car. Can you pick it up? <<< Bob replies <<< i don't have a car either. I asked my mom tho and she says she might be able to pick it up. when r u avail? <<< Tell Bob it's already sold & [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]] [[Tell Bob he can come pick it up on Saturday]]

You look at your inbox again. There are new emails [[sarah- Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Mike - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Deidre Morrison- Interested in your chair]] [[colickyboi - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Joe - Scaron black office chair - $30]]

It's Saturday morning. You get a text from Bob >>> Sorry moms car broke down can you deliver it? >>> You tell Bob you can't and [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]]

You write: <<< Hi Sarah, it's a black chair, see the attached pictures. <<< She replies <<< Oh OK, how much is it? <<< [[Tell Sarah it's 30 even though it's clearly in the ad]] [[Give up and go back to your inbox]]

[[Bob Bobson - The chair]] [[Mike - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Deidre Morrison- Interested in your chair]]

You respond <<< Hi Sarah, it's $30 <<< She replies <<< Can you hold it for me? I get paid on the 10th. <<< It's the 1st right now. [[Hold it for Sarah]] [[Give up and go back to your inbox]]

[[Bob Bobson - The chair]] [[Mike - Scaron black office chair - $30]] [[Deidre Morrison- Interested in your chair]]

>>> Hi, I've been looking for a Scaron chair forever! Let me know when you're available and I'll come pick it up. >>> This sounds legit, you reply >>> Hi Deidre, I'm available Saturday morning. >>> She replies >>> Great! See you then! >>> [[It's Saturday morning]]

It's now the 10th. You email Sarah >>> Hi Sarah are you still interested in the chair? >>> She never replies [[Post to Freecycle]]

In frustration you post to Freecycle. >>> Scaron Chair- Free, pick up only >>> [[A few hours later you check your email]]

Deirdre comes to pick the chair up. She hands you $30 cash. The chair is gone! And you have $30! Congrads! GAME OVER YOU WIN

>>> Andy- Can u deliver? Nancy Smith - How tall is it? SamInc - can I pick it up next month? >>> You give up and put it on the curb the next morning. GAME OVER

>>> Would you take $5 for the chair? - Mike >>> [[Uh fine, I just want to get rid of it]] [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]]

Mike arrives Saturday morning with his 5 children in tow. They proceed to damage your walls somehow while getting the chair through the front door. He hands you $5 which will not begin to cover the damage.

>>> When can I come pick it up? - colickyboi >>> [[you tell them that Saturday morning is fine]]

colickyboi arrives. They insist on handling the chair themselves. The chair falls down the stairs and breaks in half somehow. colickyboi no longer wants the chair. You throw it in the trash. GAME OVER

>>> Call me- Joe 555-555 >>> [[Call him]] [[Check inbox to see if there is anyone less annoying who wants to buy it]]

You call him. No one answers. You leave a voicemail. [[Three days later..]]

While you're at work Joe calls you back [[Call him]]
