I am so mad.....  email this discussion to a friend?

I have been talking to a girl about buying a book for my psychology class for about a week now. She posted it on Craig's List for $60 or best offer. Well, my mom drove for an hour to meet this girl at her house, and she informed my mom that the book was $90. She said that I must have misunderstood. I told her to shove the book because I have a copy of the original CL posting, and she did, indeed ask for $60. She didn't say anything anywhere about $90 for any of the books she has for sale. I can't believe that she tried to con my mom out of an extra $30, when I could buy the book for the exact same price at the bookstore at school. Does she really think that my mom is stupid enough to just buy the book and not call me when she found herself $30 short? I mean, come on! I am tired of people trying to rip me off. Has anything like that ever happened to you?

I am glad you told her to leave the book. The girl may hav enever intended to sell it in the first place. How rude.

Seriously. I think that she just changed her mind when she found out that people were buying the book for $90 at the bookstore. I guess it's something like supply and demand. I don't mind paying the money, but it is the principle of the situation. I will not allow anyone to get by with lying to me, you know? I am honest, and expect the same thing.

Frankly speaking, you just made you mom fool. As you stated "when I could buy the book for the exact same price at the bookstore at school ". If you do, why they do it at first place. You made your day bad and wasted time of your mom and the gas of the car. What are you thinking , my friend? You are almost rob by a girl. Don't you know that?

I made a fool of no one, thank you very much. I only asked my mom to meet her and pick up the book because she was going to go shopping afterwards. The girl originally asked for $60, and then when she found out that people are buying them at the bookstore for $90, she changed her price. If I had paid the price she asked AFTER we had already come to an agreement, then she would have made a fool of me. I am an honest person, and expect people to treat me the same way.

That's why I don't do things like that online, but hey if it helps any, if you're looking for cheap school books, look and see if your town has a Half Price books. I found some the required reading for a school I was considering there for way cheaper than it would've been elsewhere. Just a tip.

Thanks for the tip. After reading your post, I looked into it and found a local store. I called them and they had the book!! When I went to get it, I was very happily surprised to find out that it was in brand new condition, and the cost was only $65. Thank you soooo much. I don't think I will ever again try to buy something like that off of CL. From now on, I will go to Given's Books first. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.
