Gloat of the first order!

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!

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

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?

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

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

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?

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

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)
