Okay, so I have a boat shell that I have no need for. After 75 people (NO lie, that many) claimed they want it, yet none of them had a way of picking it up I decided one more week and I cut it up, smash it apart, whatever to get rid of it. I find an Ad on the local Craigslist that reads...
"free boats wanted will remove asap please call with details nick 203-982-6607"
I'm posting the number because it's on a public ad, shouldnt be any harm right?
So I decide to email the guy, and it turned out pretty good. Here are the back and forth emails, enjoy:
ME: "I have a free 25' Wellcraft. It does not have a trailer, but I need it gone. If this is something you charge for I'm not interested and will just cut it up myself.
Brian"
HIM: "Yes i will take the boat i have a trailer and can pick it up asap .....you just have to pay a 599.oo fuel surcharge fee....let me know the adress and i can be there thurs morning"
ME: "Sorry, I will nnot pay for this boat to be removed, I will cut it up myself, thanks anyways."
HIM: "Really how are you going to cut it up with a chop saw... 5 hrs of your time and deadly fiberglass dust ...you better not be within 2500 ft of any structure or its a 5500 fine plus you have to remove the debris are you that stupid " i will cut it up" keep the boat ...... Sucker"
ME: "I'm not concerned with cutting it up, will only take a very short time, noone will be fined or injured. Thanks for your concern though.
Good luck running your "business" with responses like that, I'm sure you will do very well!"
HIM: "You will never cut that junker up telk you what i get it asap in the morning for half price 125.oo"
ME: "Thanks again for the offer but the boat will either be taken for free or cut up by myself. Good luck with the Craigslist ad."
HIM: "Ok toy tight wad i can do it for $35.00 "
ME: "Thanks once again for the offer, but I will let someone else have the boat. It's not an issue of money anymore. Good luck with future boat removal opportunities."
HIM: "Ok ok you got me i will take it for geeze tightass"
ME: "All set with the boat, thanks anyways. Good luck finding other free boats to haul."
HIM: "What do you mean all set you said a couple of hours ago i could have it for free ... If you dont give it to me i will sue you for breach of verbal contract i have the emails to proove it"
ME: "Haha, good luck with suing for verbal contract, the boat has been sold to a higher bidder... aw shucks."
HIM: "See you in court you said free"
So this is where it ended yesterday, or so I thought... Late last night I get this...
HIM: "Where is The boar located"
ME: "I'm sorry, you must have the wrong email address... I'm not selling any boar's at this time. Good luck in your search."
So now I play the waiting game to see when he responds... I will call it quits (which I thought I had before) at some point, but it cant hurt having a "little" fun.
