I just sold my TV on craigslist

[SallyMander]

We never really watched much anyway... but it still feels sort of liberating!

Anyone else out there among the ranks of the TV-less? :D

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

1. Never owned one. :)

Only times I've ever had one to use is when I lived with someone else who had one.

[SallyMander]

2. Mine was a *tiny* TV/VCR combo

It caused me much mockery among my friends... haha. I'm pretty sure i won't miss it! :D

[DarkTirade]

7. Heh. If/when I get a PS2 or X-box 360 like I'm planning, I'm gonna just

get a TV tuner for my computer. My monitor's bigger than any TV I could afford anyway. :)

[SallyMander]

10. We have a projector so i can watch my Red Sox

streaming video, 8' across on the wall!!! :woohoo:

[Pierre.Suave]

3. Why do you hate Amurika?

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

5. LOL

I know, i'm not sure how i'll survive without "Dancing with the American Idol Survivor Celebrity Makeover: Curacao" ........ or whatever :rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

9. LMAO

Now I want to see THAT show, that would be AWESOME!

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

15. They're auditioning, actually!

Maybe you could be on it!

[Pierre.Suave]

16. They turned me down already...

they said I was too "real"...

:P

[SallyMander]

17. Don't lie

We all know the real reason is your high-kick wasn't up to par!



:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

20. Hey, I tried my best...

:cry:

and all I have to show for it is a pulled groin muscle...

:P

[SallyMander]

25. Frozen peas, my friend

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

34. you mean that if I eat frozen peas...

the pain will go away?

Can I cook them first?

:P!!!!!!

[SallyMander]

35. If you do a saute with Oxycontin

then yes, you'll feel better. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

37. HAHA

I would first have to do some analysis to see how or if the heat would change the Oxycontin, and what effects that would have on the human body.

This could take years, I think i will just use ice...

lol...:P

[Heidi]

4. Did the price include an experience in anyone's model train room*?

:rofl:

*Or immitation crab meat as a trade?

[SallyMander]

8. OMG!

:spray:



Nah, $15 "straight" up! :rofl:

[Heidi]

11. JO

ke. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. How do you weed out the respondents

who are just phishing for your address or phone number or something?

I've got a 32-inch Sony I wanna put on Craigslist because I hardly ever watch it and I don't wanna have to lug it when I move — also a sewing machine and an armoire, but I'm kinda skittish about advertising them online.

[SallyMander]

13. I've had pretty good luck with craigslist

When i've had scammers, they've been *painfully* obvious! If you're selling expensive items, just make sure to say ***LOCAL SALES ONLY*** because otherwise you'll get emails from jokers who want you to ship it, and they'll send you a certified check that'll turn out to be fake, etc etc. I've been able to conduct everything over email, and then you can just pick a neutral spot to meet up if you don't want to give out your address (coffee shop, mall, etc).

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. I'd do the neutral site thing, but

two of these are large items — the teevee weighs 143 pounds and the armoire must weigh 11 tons or so, and my cat's too damned lazy to help me lift 'em into my truck. x(

Said sizes also rule out shipping.

Guess I'll just have to be smart and take my chances. :scared:

[SallyMander]

22. Ah, yes, good point

Just trust your instincts -- if someone's emails seem shady, pass 'em by. We are thinking of listing a huge, heavy desk... if i do that, i'm going to include something in the listing like "bring 4 of your strongest friends!" because i don't want to move that sucker! You could also always have a friend come over when the pick-up is scheduled to happen, just to make yourself feel more comfortable!

[fizzgig]

12. i have a television but no cable

the tv is used for dvds and to play gamecube and playstation. i've been without cable for about six weeks now and rarely miss the stuff, especially since i can use my dad's dvr to record the few shows i like and watch them when i visit...i'm still a spoiled brat :rofl:

[SallyMander]

14. That's what dads are for!

:rofl:

Did you have a good birthday???



Edit for speelig :dunce:

[fizzgig]

19. it was pretty mellow

got together with a few friends and imbibed in a celebratory fashion and then last night was the birthday dinner with the family (my dad, my sister and i all have birthdays within 9 days of each other). i get my 'big' present in a couple of weeks...my guy got us tickets for the cure show in denver and i am so excited :bounce:

[SallyMander]

23. The Cure??? No way!!!

I am SO jealous!!! I loves me some Cure... you will have to give me a full report! :D

[fizzgig]

27. the show is at red rocks and i am so stoked

it's my third time seeing them, but it's always been my dream to see them at red rocks :D it's also the first time i'll be seeing them with someone who actually wants to be there and it's my guy's first time seeing them, so it's going to be a blast.

i will definitely give a full report :D

[SallyMander]

29. I'm sure you will have a blast!

Hmm, wonder if they are ever coming to Ohio... I have a birthday coming up too! :D

[fizzgig]

30. they sure are

and pretty close to your birthday (if i am remembering correctly): June 18th Cleveland, OH Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University

i haven't the foggiest idea how close you are to cleveland, but they are definitely worth a trip

[SallyMander]

32. Oooohhh

Hmm... Iza is working as a mechanic at a bike race that whole week... but i wonder if he could get the night off???

Cleveland is about 2.5 hours from here -- it's doable! :think:

:hug:

[fizzgig]

36. i hope you can pull it together

:hug:

[Lyric]

18. We one one, but

we don't use it for anything but DVDs on rare occasions. I hate the way that kids are targeted for marketing, so I refuse to have any kind of television service while our son is under the age of 16.

:hi:

[SallyMander]

24. Advertising really is out of control

It all seems aimed at making kids think they *need* whatever it is, so they'll start bugging mom and dad about it!

[Gormy Cuss]

26. Sheesh. Some people will go to great lengths

to avoid watching the highlights of Jenna's wedding.
:P

[SallyMander]

28. Oh, don't worry, i'm having a friend TiVo that

Wouldn't miss it for the world!!!





:puke:


:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Nah, I'm an admitted tv junkie...

I have no shame. We all have our foibles. :P

:hi:

[SallyMander]

33. LOL! But you use words like "foibles"

Hence, you are a-ok in my book! :D

:hug:

[suninvited]

38. Although I admire people with no television

since I have moved out to the country, I almost rely on mine..sad to say.

[SallyMander]

39. Oh, i'm not trying to "convert" anyone! :-)

Just curious, since my new TV-less status seems out of the ordinary! :hi:
