wow, people from CL are strange. I am selling a gas leaf blower. The guy comes today, checks it out and hands me the money. As I am counting (its $10 less than what I wanted) the guy is halfway to his car. He then turns around and says hey its leaking gas. I told him that I spilled some gas when I filled it up. I told him he could check it again. He says no and wants his money back. I hand over the cash and tell him it was $10 less...and he acts all shocked. Loser
Sure does -- works like a champ! My homebuilt Ivy Bridge tower and 24" LCD are, according to the UPS, pulling about 75W doing light tasks like responding to this post. I unplugged it a few minutes ago, and it's saying I have 55 minutes of estimated runtime remaining.
If I do something slightly more involved like watching a YouTube video, it goes up to 115W and shows about 45 minutes remaining. If I fire up a good game or something, the draw obviously goes way up and the runtime is about 20-25 minutes.
It's a CyberPower 1350AVR that I picked up from Costco a few months ago for $95. Works like a champ, with a nice big battery in it. (Probably way more battery than I need, but it was the same price as much smaller ones at other stores.)
OP i agree with you, the guy is a moron. dont listen to all the dummies here who probably dont know the difference between a driver and a drive.
Sorry, not buying your BS. Bona fide is two fucking words, which you didn't know.
No big deal in the larger scheme of things, except when you're pontificating on the ignorance of someone else. Then, it's your ironic ignorance for the lulz. :biggrin:
to all the people who are saying you have a bad attitude towards selling. you were trying to help out this gentleman and trying to do whats best for him by what i consider friendly advice.
The problem with meeting at a neutral place is that a huge proportion of people on craigslist are worthless cretins and so, despite agreeing on a meeting time and place, there's really no guarantee at all that they will show up.Or bring a charged UPS with you, if you have one. You can use that to power whatever you need at your neutral, public meeting place. Last item I sold, I met the buyer at an outdoor table at my local coffee shop. Worked great.
You spelled it wrong, it's CREEPSlist.
Almost all my transactions with people there are weird. Everyone thinks they are from pawnstars too.
Price is $500.. okay I only brought two $20 bills with me though, lets make this work.
But as he said, the cretins think they are on pawnstars or some accomplished negotiator, so they will always ask for lower. I will say there is some nice pleasure in telling people to pound sand after they make an offer despite the listing clearly saying price is firm. People are stupid, though; they would rather pay $100 for something that was listed at $150 than $90 for something with a firm price. Their tiny minds are not content unless they "got money off".I just list stuff at a reasonably low price and add "this is the final price, no negotiations", if you don't have $xxxx don't bother coming over..

Thanks for the info, 45 mins or so is plenty of time to boot it up, test it out then turn off PC.
That's actually the model I've been considering, thanks again for the info!
