yeah, the apartment people have crazy weird voodoo renting magic.

craigslist is only useful if there’s a craigslist for your city. it started in SF, but now there are sub-sites for most major cities.

Hmmm. I’d never heard of Craigslist before. Interesting. When Bethany and I were trying to get someone to pick up our apartment we tried for 4 months or so, then did what you did and turned it over to the apartment people and they rented it in a couple weeks. Weird.

BTW, your feed works fine. I’m viewing it in NewsGator and I get a full feed from ya.

agreed. trying to give stuff away from an apartment we didn’t live in was pretty silly on my part.

I think the answer is to say yes to the first person, then to EVERYONE else to say, “someone already claimed it, gimme your number so I can call you if they don’t show up”.

Then, if person #1 doesn’t come call them and if they don’t answer tell them you’re giving it to someone else, call person #2, if person #2 doesn’t answer, move on to person #3, and so forth. With each person who says they’re going to come, let them know that you’re travelling across town so if they’re not serious about coming don’t pretend they are.

Either way, next time we try to get rid of everything before we move, mkay?
