Craigslist
My mood is unpleasant. Some guy had a USB MIDI keyboard up on craigslist and I was going to buy it so I could use it with garage band and do some composing. So I email the guy and ask him a couple of questions about it to make sure everthings in order and everything is. So I tell him .. exact quote.. "Alright Nick, you have me sold. I will purchase this fine quality instrument from you." and then went on about some other stuff. Basically I agree'd to buy it from him.
I corresponded with him over the next couple of days and asked him if he'd drive and meet me half way there since he's like 45 minutes away; he says I'll have to drive all the way and I obliged. Next day I call him on the phone and get directions and tell him that the only time I can drive up there is Friday b/c this week was really chaotic for me.
So this morning I wake up at 9 a.m. get ready, go to the ATM and grab $50 to pay the guy and start driving 45 minutes to Salisbury. To be curtious and not surprise him by showing up I give him a call on his cellphone. (The bastards name is Nick)
Ant: Hey Nick, its Anthony. Just letting you know that I'm on my way up there and I should be there soon.
Nick: *dumbass voice* Uh.. the keyboard sold.
Ant: What do you mean its sold?
Nick: Well there was some people emailing me saying they wanted it and they came by and bought it already.
Ant: wtf!
Yeah, he sold it! Uh.. hey do you not remember me agree'ing to buy it and all that email and phone corresponding? And then he didn't email or anything to let me know that he had randomly decided to sell it to some wanker before I drove 45 minutes and waking up at 9 in the morning on my day off. Most of the time when something is considered "sold" and someobody else trys to buy it most normal people say something "Sorry, that item has already been sold."
