Seriously, why are people such complete morons! So I have this piano that we got for free a couple of years ago and Kristin learned to play on. Well it’s time to let it go and I thought it would be nice to give it away free to someone who might need a working piano. So I posted it on Craigslist and the McLean Freecycle. Now I already knew craigslist folks were super flaky, but damn, I never expected this. I’ve had something like 20 people interested and good handful of people say they are coming over to get it. Great, I’ll be here waiting…and waiting…and waiting…for you to NEVER show up!
And then there’s the people who want to see pictures and ask a million questions…news flash…it’s a FREE F”N PIANO! So don’t waste my time, either you want a free piano or you don’t. And NO, it will not fit in your damn minivan if you take all the seats out, and NO, you should not count on me moving it for you.
Second new flash, it’s a “real” upright piano, meaning it weighs over 500 pounds, it’s over 5 feet tall, over 5 feet long, and more than 2.5 feet deep. Yea, that kind of piano. Last time I moved this thing Gary helped me out. The two of us showed up with his big ass truck and rolled the piano up to it. Yea, no way the two of us were going to be able to lift this thing into the back of his truck, so we rented a moving truck with an electronic lift and we were done.
So hey, just because the ad says free, how about you put just a minuscule amount of thought into it before firing off an “I want it!” email.
Anyway…free piano anyone, ha?
Thats why I make everything at least 10 bucks I’ve learned from my last exposure to craigslist.
Any luck selling those frames? Alas i’m too broke for now.
Oh are you going to the stokesville thing this weekend?
Cheers
