Craigslist is Unforgiving

Things are not looking good, RE the Craigslist Rockwell band saw. I called the seller because he had not gotten back to me, and he said some sleazy character was on his way to look at the saw. If this thing is in good shape, only an idiot would refuse to pay $165 for it.

This is what I get for being polite. I probably called the owner earlier, but he forgot to call me back.

Sounds like a nice old guy. His name is Charlie, he’s an EE, and he has a pacemaker. These are among the biographical details I learned while chatting with him.

The guy with the Shop Fox is down to $850, which is actually not a bad price for a $1250 saw. Not great, but acceptable. I could get most of it back on resale.

Charlie said he would call me if the nefarious slimeweed who butted in front of me doesn’t take the saw.
