Craigslist Fail

// June 28th, 2009 // Brad's Life

We had to chop down a 30 ft tree in the backyard because it died, and I had no clue what we were going to do with the wood. (When we dug Jen’s garden, I threw several hundred lbs of dirt in the pond, but I thought the HOA might notice floating branches a little more…..)

Jen suggested we put it on Craigslist, so I gave it a try.  To my surprise, 15 inquiries for FREE WOOD rolled in within a few hours.  I had all of these people wanting my cell phone # so they could call me and ask if the wood was still there before they left.

Well, I hate talking on the phone and I really hate talking to strangers on the phone.

So, I set up my webcam from the window and positioned it on the wood pile.  I started a stream on uStream and sent them all the link, telling them to check the video instead of calling me to see if there was any wood left.

And…. I decided to record it for the heck of it.

20 minutes from when I sent the email, a few people rolled up in a car and took every single piece of it.  But the best part was their triumphant arrival……

THROUGH MY FRONT YARD.

Check out the video.  Hilarious.  Another Craigslist Success Story.

    You should hit up Craigslist for some grass seed, that tool just left tire marks in your yard and stole your wood… too funny. I’m thinking the *fake* Craigslist ad + ustream show has much more potential (read: FREE dead hooker and slightly soiled carpet — at end of driveway).
