Saw this coming a mile away

Some great reading in this thread, which I somehow forgot I posted! I very briefly tried offering TVs for free on Craigslist, but very quickly halted this practice because I was getting more scrappers than legitimate users!

Goodwill here still takes them. I let someone take about 12 sets 3 yrs ago thinking they would do something good with them. They left them out in the rain and a couple months later, they pop up on craigslist for free. I responded but when he admitted the whole time he had them, they were kept outside, I said forget it. Idiot even broke the best one in the lot by breaking the back off. Man was I pizzed.

I would also understandably be greatly upset if something similar happened to me. I think most everyday folks just don't have the same level of appreciation for this stuff that we do, and so things like this occur. This is why I try to make sure my sets go to people that will actually USE them. (This is getting more and more difficult.)
