Bizarre Craigslist interaction

[FloorCandy]

By George! You may be right! Meet at Dingmans Ferry at 2pm.....details to possibly dribble in one character at a time.

That must be it!

I had a woman contact me once about some pigeons I had. She was over 4+ hours away and wanted me to drive them to her. I was asking $20. Lady I'm not driving halfway across the state for $20!

Craigslist is wild.

My friend bought some hens the other day off a British Craigslist version. The hens arrived no probs at all. Next morning he goes to check on them and 1 Is missing (a white one) and the other is wandering around outside the coop. The door was closed. Clearly the seller tried to steal them back!

I had a lady once pick up some chicks that I was selling straight run, all 7 for $10. They were mixed breed, off heat. Just needed to move them out. When she got home she texted me that I charged too much and how difficult things were for her financially.
I sent her a text asking for her address so I could mail her back the $10.
She then accused me of trying to stalk her!
I did not respond to this and thankfully never heard from her again.
People are crazy, that is for sure.
Always use exteme caution when dealing with anyone on Craigslist!

7 chicks for $10? That is literally a steal! Who even complains about that?!

I figured she must have had some mental health issues. Only explanantion I could come up with.

Great idea! If I leave now I can probably get there in time to find a nice dangerous corner to stand on in the dark hahaha!

I just laughed in the middle of a lecture thanks.

for sure, thing is if 1.5 dollars a chick was too expensive for her I do question if she was going to spend the money they needed to be raised properly on feeders, waterers, food, bedding, heating, equipment and the coop.

Agreed, since then I only respond to people who ask relevant questions about the chicks care. I always ask now if they have experience in the care of chickens and give them links to BYC!

Omg! Were they serious?

I’m guessing so!
