It's some 13 year old kid selling his older brother's crap without permission. Yes, I've interrupted dinners and heard arguments because some twerp told me to show up at 6pm and he didn't clear it with the family first.

Families still sit down to dinner?....at six?
These are decent (listening) headphones, for those who want something hyped. I didn't look closely enough at the picture of the box to see it said 'extended bass'. Oops.

If you meet them at McDonald's, maybe.

Well somebody bought these tonight. His old pair, which he brought to make sure they were exactly the same, was wore out. Funny was he said, 'You didn't message me back when you had these for sale a couple weeks ago'. I said 'I haven't had these that long, different guy'. Serendipity, eh?

I just recently gave away a Banzai waterslide on CL. I told everyone in the posting and emails to meet at a certain corner at 9:00am after school busses and trash pickup came through the neighborhood. By the time I walked my son to the bustop (8:30am), I counted 12 cars/trucks/vans, all people waiting for the waterslide. Some chatting with each other about how they were promised the slide (I didnt promise anyone anything). A sheriff deputy pulled up asking what everyone was doing at that corner (neighbor called) and he made everyone move their cars so the busses and garbage truck can get through.
Long story short, people were at that corner the night before knocking on doors asking about the waterslide. People were at that corner at 6:00am that morning to be first in line to get it. After my boy got on the bus, I walked back home passed all the people, jumped in my truck, drove to the corner, jumped out, pulled waterslide out of the bed, placed the blower on top and 25 hilljacks rushed the darn thing. 2 ladies, one with a very small baby ended up with it after some bickered about email promises they didnt get.
So, giving away something on CL isnt as easy as you might think. Guess if I'd mentioned the slow air leak or faded colors, I probably wouldnt have gotten that kind of attention with it. :dunno

Depends on the item. Things many people in this hobby would want, you can't pay regular people to take. But stuff like you had, oh yeah, you get the roaches coming out of the woodwork. Something like that I'd just leave out on the corner without telling anybody it was going to be there. Maybe leave it on a corner at least a half mile away.
