[Eee Pad Transformer General] morbidrealities:
Disclaimer................I am no longer selling the Transformer due to the below story.

*So karma is a bi?!#. Yesterday while taking my 3 year old to potty at a restaurant my E4GT fell in toilet. I had just taken a picture of my family at the table and put my phone in my front shirt pocket. I don't normally put my phone there because I know what happened can happen but, I forgot. So I'm leaned over pulling my sons pants up when he jumps up and his head catches my pocket and pushes the phone right out and into the toilet. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU££££$$$$$$!!!!! Yeah so I don't carry insurance on my phone because I have never broken or damaged a cellphone before. Doh! Yeah I immediately pulled the battery and and the restaurant gave me a bag of rice to put it in but, I don't have any high expectations since the phone was on when it went into the toilet. So now I have to sell the TF or do some kind of swap for a phone. So angry at myself, LOL* end rant

So I post my Transformer for sale on Craigslist last night. It's in mint condition and I have the original box and manuals. Also have a Case Crown case for it. I was selling it because my wife is awesome and bought me a Prime. I posted it for $350 or willing to trade for a 7 inch tablet and cash which the amount depended on what kind of 7 incher it was or some other crap like a E4GT or Photon. I said I was not willing to negotiate if it was a straight cash sale.

Anyways I am posting the text conversation between myself and some dude. I am am going to post it word for word except for *Redacted* things like names and or locations.

Him: Do you still have your transformer

Me: Yes I do

Him: Will you take 325

Me: No, sorry 350

Him: Oh well I have someone wanting 325 so Im going to talk to him

Me: Ok, sorry I just cant do 325

(Please keep in mind I have already had 2 other offers at $325 and I have declined them both)

Him: Alright its cool. If it doesnt go through can I contact you?

Me: Sure

Him: Hey man the other didnt come through

Him: Still have your tab?

Me: I do. Not going to be able to do anything tonight unless youre willing to drive to *Redacted* after 9pm. Im stuck at work until then.

Him: I can but can you do 325?

Me: I cannot. Sorry.

Him: Ok

Me: You still want it?

Him: Yeah

Me: I'll be home around 8:45. Dont take this the wrong way but, I have a CHL, so please dont try and rob me, ok? Good. I'll give you the address to my house, if you want to meet there, when I'm on the way home. I'd give it to you now but, my wife and kids are home alone and I don't know you from Adam.

For those that are curious a CHL is a Concealed Handgun License, which I do in fact have. Also I am not stupid enough to give him my actual address and would only have given him the street that backs up to my turn about which is another turn about. I live in a very affluent neighborhood in a very crime free city.

Him: Dude can just meet at a 7-11 or something

Me: Where are you coming from?

Him: Have you ever done Craiglist before?

Him: Coming from *Redacted*

Me: Yeah lots and someone tried to rob me a year ago next month.

This is true. Luckily my CHL came in handy, dude ran, I got his plates and the Police were able to arrest the idiot.

Me: I work in *Redacted* Same place he was coming from we can meet at my job tomorrow morning if youd like.

Him: Is your tab at your house? Because I figured we can just meet somewhere in *Redacted*.

Him: **Redacted*

Me: Yeah it's at home. If you want to do this tonight I can meet you at the *Redacted* Station on *Redacted* and Main in *Redacted*

Him: Well there is actually a *Redacted* Chicken right off of *Redacted* on *Redacted* if you wanna meet inside I'm kinda hungry lol and it's public

Me: Yeah but, then I have to go home, get my tablet, then drive to *Redacted* then drive all the way back home. See where I'm coming from?

Me: It's rooted too by the way. Not a problem right?

Him: Oh yeah! Sorry. Well that *Redacted* Station is fine. Just text me when you get your tab so.I can start heading to *Redacted*

Him: I was going to root it anyways lol

Me: Cool

Him: And don't worry I've been screwed on Craigslist before so I know where your coming from. So we agreed on 325 right?

I'm shaking my head at this point but, since he's tried so hard for 325.....

Me: No, lol. I'll do 340 because youre trying so hard for 325

Him: I wouldnt mind giving you an extra $15 because thats not much more nut $325 is seriously all I have. I have a few more quarters in my car but apart from

Him: the cash that's all I have(had to buy books For school)

I'm kinda gritting my teeth trying not to be PO'd cause he's wasted so much of my time, but I was a starving student once too....oh well

Me: Damn dude. Bring your 325 and quarters....sh**

Me: Good thing I'm a fu**ing sucker for a sob story :p

Him: Nah nevermind man.

Me: LOL seriously? After I just agreed to 325? Whatever, guy.

Him: Like your doing me such a grand favor by dropping it 25. I'm sure some other guy will buy it. Cheers

REALLY A**HAT!!?? WHAT THE EFF!! Yeah dude I feel like I am kinda doing you a favor by dropping it $25 when my post said I wouldnt negotiate and I already told you twice that I wouldnt sell for 325....But I'm not a jerk.....so

Me: Dude you worked me down 25 bucks when my post said I wouldnt negotiate. Ive passed 2 other offers of 325 down. Your textbook story is what sold me when the others couldnt. Never said I was doing you a favor but, instead of taking the deal and running with it, you get your feelings hurt over a good natured ribbing? The :p should have shown you I was joking. I don't need to sell this thing so it's not hurting me to keep it. Good luck, I hope you find what you want.

END

Effing people....This conversation started at 3:30pm today and finally ended at 8:05pm.....what a waste but, once I looked back at it I found it pretty amusing.

Anyone else have any funny stories about trying to sell their old gadgets?
