I deal with idiots on Craigslist

I deal with idiots on Craigslist

No, wait. I don't. You can't make a deal with idiots because they're impossible to deal with.

See, I posted an ad for a book about the Pink Floyd The Wall movie. It's pretty self-explanatory, and I was only asking $5 for it. I figured a collector might be interested. There's a picture of the book in the ad even.

Here's the actual series of emails exchanged between the idiot who unfortunately responded to the ad.

HER: Have you already sold this?
ME: Not yet. Are you interested?
HER: Yes, could you explain it to me again? Thanks!
[At this point I'm tempted to write back: "It's a book. You want me to fucking read it to you over the phone?" But I don't. Instead...]
Me [Attempt #1]: What is your question?
HER: [No response.]
Me [Attempt #2]: You asked about the Pink Floyd The Wall book. Yes, I still have it. Do you want to buy it?
HER: Yes, I am interested, but right now -- I have forgotten what it is we are talking about?
ME: [I send her a link to the ad.]

Never got any response after that. Fucking idiot.
