Yesterday, I decide it's about time to start diving into my to do list that has been around for months. So, I list some things on craigslist to cross that off.
I list this.

Little did I know, I would get three emails from three different buyers in a matter of minutes.
What, are people just searching popcorn makers to see what pops up every second?
Anyway, I get an email from Dave. Seems normal enough. Says he has cash, he lives in the area, he can hop in his car right now to come pick it up. I email him back to say we are leaving in 30 minutes so come now. Joaquin then calls him with directions. That is when I should have been warned.
They were on the phone for about 10 minutes just giving directions. I thought he lived in the area???
Wait 45 minutes, no Dave.
We leave for the pool. I have my phone with me and in the hour that we were at the pool, I had gotten 10 emails.
Here is just an example...
IT'S 4 30 ...please please call me...i want to come there to buy the popcorn machine...PLEASE PLEASE CALL ME...I GOT LOST BEFORE ...I DIDNT HAVE YOUR NUMBER TO CALL YOU AND GET BETTER DIRECTIONS.....PLEASE CALL ME....IM WAITING BY THE PHONE....PLEASE...I GOT LOST MAPQUEST WAS SO WRONG....PLEASE CALL ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN PLEASE!!!
Meanwhile, I told Joaquin, I'm just going to sell it someone else who inquired and tell this guy he is really creeping me out. After all, he can't find my house. He has no idea where I really live!
So, we go eat at the parents house and then I get this email...

So, now he really has directions. We are screwed.
We come home about 9:30 and who comes in the driveway right after us? Duh. I think he was hiding around the corner just waiting.
I text Jessica.
Me - Guess who is here?
Jessica - Psycho! Don't let him in the house.
Me - Too late.
Jessica - You're f*****d.
Me - Thanks.
He finally buys the machine after asking tons of questions and tells us he is a movie editor. I'm guessing porn - had that freak look about him.
Then the conversation went like this...
Dave - why are you getting rid of this?
Joaquin - oh, we are just changing things around.
Dave - oh, so are you selling anything else?
Joaquin - (before Dave even finished the question) - NO!
And then I watched out the blinds to make sure he didn't kill my husband while he carried it out to the car for him.

And if you have read this far, I'm sorry. There is probably a lot of useless info in there but I just had to get it out. I have three other things listed. Let's hope everything else goes okay!
