Mark was lucky enough to at least talk with the nut jobs, I gave up when I got a friend request on Facebook instead of the pickup address I requested. Maybe our species IS getting stupider the more times we copy our DNA, there's no hope left except for the concentration of intelligence found on ARF and VK!

I talked to the flake today and I told her to give it to whomever was next in line. If someone is close, try to save it but don't say you weren't warned. This lady is about as absent minded as your average Lake Forest Il resident.

Tempted... but naaaaah...

Would love to get hold of a roundie, especially a local one, but just don't have the patience and the time to deal with people like this.

It's a shame; seems like she could even make a buck on it if she wanted to.

I did email her and she got back to me early last week with a phone number. I called her a few times and left a message. She did call me back but I wasn't around to answer the phone at the time. This was late last week. I've called back and left another message and also sent another email just a couple days ago and Im getting blown off again.
She said in her phone message that the TV's have to go and that Mark ( I said I was picking it up for him) claimed he wanted all four TV's, so I'd have to take all four. I know thats a lie right off the bat. If that means I have to take all four to save the zenith, then so be it. She said they are in the way of them doing demo work in the vacant house and that they live in indiana and they need to figure out a good time they can go up there etc. I couldn't get anything to materialize from these jerks. They just left that message and I could never get ahold of them again. The punks probably swung sledge hammers into the CRT's for fun.

It would be so tempting to stoop to their level of jerkiness and drop the superfluous sets back off once they left if one were to actually get it.

Betcha any money they found this post, and the jig has been up a long time ago. If the batty lady can find me on Facebook, she can find a bunch of TV people posting about how they think they're about to get a free Roundie on the web as well. Ten spot says that same set surfaces for cash not long from now on CL/Evilbay...

I tried to tell her it was worthless....

They will find out it's not made of Gold. They have eliminated most of the local people who would be interested in the set already so the worth factor for them is going down.

I told her I wanted it for parts.....which is true, I would have kept all the parts just where they were. I could tell she thought it was worth something but it really isn't worth much IMO being so new and common. Definitely not worth all the hassle involved dealing with her, that's for sure.
