MACBOOK PRO FOR SALE - Craigslist Prank

I am doing something a bit different for this post. Rather than my usual banter about different styles of plaid or the hottest kazoo crazes out there, I'm going to be showing you guys a series of emails with a man from Craigslist that happened last year.

Enjoy.

Mike (me):
Hello, my friend!  I have a MacBook pro I was given from a friend of a friend and I am looking to sell it.  My apologies for not calling or texting, my phone was recently stolen by a homeless man.   If you are interested, just shoot me back an email!

Craigslist:

Mike:

Its a 2012 I believe. I am asking $450 for the unit and I can drop it off or you can come get it in LA.

Just to be warned, there are a few minor problems with the device that should not affect using it at all, but I feel that I should tell you.

The Caps Lock key is smashed so IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK LIKE THIS you will have to hold the SHIFT key at all times. You get use to it pretty fast, so don't sweat it.

Also, a while back a I was watching "Ridiculousness" on MTV while I was eating pancakes and I laughed so hard that I spilled over my bottle of Aunt Jemima maple syrup all over the keyboard and now its very difficlt to tpe on hrer. As compensation I will throw in the same bottle of Aunt Jemima's that I spilled and the DVD of the MTV classic that is Rob's "Ridiculousness".

 

Apparently during the process of spilling all of the Maple Syrup I actually jammed a pancake inside of the CDROM drive, so theres that. If you can get it out you can feel free to eat it.

As an unintentional bonus of spilling the maple syrup, if you are ever in a hankering for the sweet delicacy of authentic Aunt Jemima's maple syrup, then just slam your face down on that keyboard and take a lick.

The brightness key or the F2 key was smashed in as well as the capslock key and it shorted something out in the screen so it is now enhanced to a searing white light that frequently gives me and friends migraines, but it was never proven that it was the screen that was the cause of their chronic-migraines and several seizures.

You would surely be a fool to pass up this fantastic deal! Can't wait to hear back from you!

Mike
