I had to sell my treadmill....

Tweet

I was totally broke and had no money to hold me until the end of the month so I decided to sell my treadmill which I seldom used anyway. It wasn't an expensive one I think it listed for around $100. I put an ad on cl selling it for $35 enough to hold me over. This was a nightmare experience! For starters when she got here all she had was $30 and I couldn't turn it down because I needed the money. She shows up in a fairly small car that was so full of junk from front seat to back it looked like she lived in it. Ok, so there is snow on the ground still and I was hoping she would show up with another person to help her get it from my apartment to her car...not! I was still in my pj's and bathrobe and she asked me to help get it to her car...ok...I did...right through the snow! I had it folded up when she got here and showed her how to put it back upright. It's basically a cheap treadmill so very easy to fold and unfold. There is one knob to turn to get it up and running. When I woke up yesterday I found a very nasty msg on my telephone saying she couldn't figure out how to put it together. I called and left her a message telling her again what to do. Then I get a very nasty email saying I wasn't a nice person selling a "poor" person something they couldn't use. I emailed her back and again told her how to do it and saying I would never do that to anyone and that if she wanted to talk poor could she live on less than $900 a month (talk about being poor) and that I sold it because I needed money for food. I get a call later yesterday apologizing for the call and the email....she figured it out! Oh duhhhh!!! Have you ever received nasty calls or emails that totally weren't called for? How did you handle it?
