Chinese Gatorade Shower...
When Tony Dungy got the Gatorade and water shower after winning the Super Bowl, the Chinese announcers went crazy! They were loving it a little too much. I find it interesting that it's become run-of-the-mill in the United States, it still enthralls the Chinese...or at least the announcers. Eh...who am I kidding...I love the Gatorade shower too...
Craiglist justification...
***WARNING!!! COARSE LANGUAGE!!!***
I said in my previous post that I would e-mail the person who posted that listing. As expected, the response from him was well reasoned, justified and completely coherent. Read on...

My first e-mail:

To: sale-273074806@craigslist.org
Why in the world would someone want to pay $80 to get an $80 credit at a junkyard? I mean, if they wanted something at a junkyard (and I assume most people don't, but that's beside the point), wouldn't they just use their money and buy it? What's the benefit to having a credit? I'm sorry...this makes no sense to me, and is so ridiculous, I just had to find out what the deal is. Thanks!

My second e-mail:

To: abram quito
Right. I understand that. But, why, if for some reason, I wanted to buy something there, would it be beneficial to use your store credit instead of cash? What's your reasoning?
His second response:
From: abram quito
Subject: Re: GIFT CARD FOR SALE - $80
To: Brent Nelson
i don't shop there anymore
i have a new car and the cars there are old
so i need $80 cash
My third e-mail:

To: abram quito
Ahhh...I see. So, because you need $80 cash, you think someone else needs a credit at a junkyard worth $80? That makes sense. If it were opposite day. Which it is not. The crux of the situation is you have overpriced your product. Wouldn't it make more sense to try to sell your credit for about $60 instead, therefor allowing both individals to benefit from the transaction?

That's about the most incohenernt rant I've ever read. If that was your goal...congratulations. If not...well...I don't know what to say. I wish you the best of luck trying to get $80 for your junkyard credit of $80. I think you have a gold mine on your hand...

Craigslist post...
Now, I enjoy looking on Craigslist for merchandise. It's fun being able to find a deal. Also, there is a whole society of weirdos and freaks (aka...freado's) that post about their stuff on there. The following is an example:
GIFT CARD FOR SALE - $80

GIFT CARD WORTH $80 FOR UPULLRPARTS JUNKYARD IN ROSEMOUNT AND EAST BETHEL YOU PAY ME $80 CASH AND U GET THE GIFT CARD WORTH $80 FOR STORE CREDIT FOR UPULLRPARTS JUNKYARD THIS IS NOT A SCAM I GOT RECIEPT TO PROVE VALUE WILL DELIVER IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS AREA
Now, who in their right mind would do this? I mean, seriously...who would trade $80 cash for $80 credit at a junkyard?? And this poster is acting like this is a great deal and it must be a scam it'so good? You just know some other freado out there is going to sit back and think this is a great deal. Heck, they'll probably even offer $85 to get the $80 credit at the junkyard...stupid as people are. It makes me mad that this person thinks this is a good deal, and it makes me madder that someone will agree with them and take them up on it. I think I'm going to e-mail them about how dumb this is. I will report back with the results...
