Gloat of the first order!

[amazed]

While looking at Craigslist over my morning cup I spotted an ad. for

1000bf of walnut. I called the guy. It turns out he is willing to let the lot go for 600.00. Off I go with my trailer to inspect it. It looks great 6 to 8 foot boards 4/4 4/8 . I ask about the price and he tells me he is moving and he starts to add things. 300bf of 4/8 alder, 3 sheets 3/4 baltic,2 sheets 1/2 baltic,1 sheet 3/4ply, a set of alder doors to a entertainment center. He tells me he just wants to see it go to someone who will use it. That would be me!

you suck

[foggytown]

God, how I hate you! You and the people who find Picassos at jumble sales for $5

[Toller]

Beyond any doubt, you suck.

But I don't understand it. He could have sold it for $1,500 just as easily, and it still would have been a gloat. Why $600?

[Dave Hinz]

"you suck" doesn't even begin to cover this one. I wonder if it was his wood he sold you...

[Mortimer Schnerd, RN]

Hell, no... it was *my* wood. I'd appreciate you bringing it by.

[Lee Michaels]

You are right David. "You suck" seems hardly adequate to describe this major crime. Perhaps we need a new term to describe these mega deals.

I mean, "you suck" is good for "gee, I wish I had stumbled into that and had had the cash". This is more of a "I'd sell what I had to to get that deal" kind of deal, which may in fact go beyond the standard "you suck".

Anyone have suggestions for an uber-suck term?

[Vic Baron]

thou sucketh big time!

Aggravated Gloatery?

Sort of like Aggravated Mopery except that you aren't required to exposure yourself to a blind woman.

Outstanding snag, Ed. Simply outstanding - enjoy it!

I hope, when you stack it. That the wall studs cave in, land on your car, crush the entertainment center that was 2 days away from delivery and you stub your toe packing it in!

You suck!

He is an ER Doctor and he was offered a 2 year position in NY City. He said he had to leave immediately and had no time to sell it. We started talking, I'm Marine and he has a son in Iraq. He gave me all his wood, I tried to swing a deal for his jointer, he laughed and said his shop was going in storage, he plans on setting up shop again. Nice Guy Ed

I read the replies... ditto to the tenth power! Tom

[Robatoy]

You'd figure that some of that supermegasuckage could be put to work to get rid of some these frickin' leaves around here?

YOU SUCK!

(sorry - it's the obligatory response here)
