I'm grabbing this guy by the horns
Still going... Ad: http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/for/3258031625.html me: Hello, I came across your ad on facebook. I'm interested in this piece, would like to know a little bit more before I make a purchasing decision. Has it sold yet? Thanks, Jessica him: Still have it, you want to come look at it me: Mostly I would like to know of it's origins. See I am a historic art appraiser and believe it or not, the type of bull that it comes from matters a lot when determining a value. Do you know anything about it's history? him: I don't know history. Sorry feel free to tell me what you think i have. thanks me: That's ok, I can tell easily from the photo that it is the skull from a Corriente Bull, this bull originates from Spain and is a less aggressive bull, which makes them great for amatuer rodeo's. This skull is a highly desired piece because of it's rarity in the United States. If you tried to sell this in Texas, you could get a lot more than what you are asking. Now I could have easily purchased it from you for your asking price, but I wouldn't feel right about it. I would like to offer to help you sell it at auction. I take 20% commission on the sale price. Let me know if you are interested. Thank You, Jessica Barfield him: how much do you think it would sell for? me: Back in the Civil War, spainards helped the USA by providing us with Cattle to feed the troops. The Corriente Bull was brought over here, only 20 of them! Since then, all that remains in the US for Corrienthian bulls are ancestors of those Civil War bulls. Anything tied to the Civil War increases value. The skull you have is highly desired. You will never see the skull of a Corrienthian bull on display in Spain, they burry the bull when it dies, it's something that they would never do because they take great pride in their bulls, running with the bulls is what they are famous for! You don't see Corrienthian bull skulls often, they are very rare. If I advertise this for you at an auction, this would attract all types of collectors such as rodeo and civil war collectors. 20 years ago, a Corrienthian bull skull sold at auction for $11,250. Now that was back then, the economy was much better and people had more disposable income. Now, I don't think it would get quite that much. But I think it could get close to $7,500. But you never know! If you could get 3 or 4 bidders, the sky is the limit! Selling at auctions isn't easy, people who would buy this have to know about it. That's where I come in, I've been in this business with my father ever since I graduated high school and I showed him this find and he got mad at me because I didn't just buy it for your asking price, lol. I could help you sell this. 20% commission is what I ask. I hope you are interested! him: Whats your business name and do you have a store? I wouldn't mind meeting you and seeing how the whole process works. thanks me: My father and I work out of our house, we are successful with what we do. But we live on a ranch and have operate out of our home, my father has always ran his business this way. The name of our business for tax purposes is Barfield Auction Hunter, llc. We don't even have a website, I'm still trying to convince him that a website is a good idea but he's very old-school. I would definitely like to arrange a meeting, but since this is craigslist I ask for a public place. Are you able to get to downtown Boston? Jacques Cabaret on Broadway is my favorite place to do business, it's elegant. My treat of course. Sincerely, Jessica him: I can go to where ever you want to go but I prefer to do all business transactions in private, so i suggest your place. I feel that if we are attracted to one another why not mix business with pleasure. I'm not concerned about your father as you said he old school, that just tells me that he willing to seal any way possible. I will need to bring my driver with me as I don't drive, and I will need for you to front me some cash or a check to pay for gas and tolls over to you, as you were going to pay dinner anyway I'm sure you wont have a problem with it. Whats the matter Bump!!! Can't respond back when the joke is on you!! I knew it was you as I am a member of chiefs planet too.... So, I guess in the long run your the one who got punked!!!! I guess your a sore loser.... HA ha ha ROFL I'm guessing one of you guys emailed him? nice move, touche. |

I have no doubt that I got punk'd on Craigslist a few years back. This guy listed a large flat panel tv on there and I sent him a reply, (I don't remember what brand/size the tv was, but it was stupid cheap). Anyway, he replied back w/ a phone number so I could call him and we could work out the pick-up. I called him and he told me that him and his buddy were just moving the tv out of his living room and his buddy dropped it. I said something along the lines of, "are you ****ing kidding me... well, that sucks". He went on to tell me that the entire screen was smashed in and that he was truly sorry. If it was indeed a joke, that shit was not funny. :harumph: |

This one had such great potential!!! But she's freaked out I think, not hearing back
The Baby Casket The Ad: http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/atq/3252385689.html me: Hello, I see your ad on craigslist and I'm very interested in that baby casket. Is it still for sale? her: This is a doll cradle and it is still available Carol me: oh, my apologies. I'm glad to hear it's still available! How long is the cradle? 3 feet at least? I think that would do. Do you know how old it is? her: It was my sisters as a kid and she in late 40s I will have my hubby measure it when we get back home me: ok thank you very much! It looks about 2-3 feet from the picture, hard to be sure. Not a deal breaker if it's not. So what type of dolls were used previously in this casket? him: nope its 20" as it is for dolls sorry thanks for inquiring Brian me: 20" is ok with me. I would just need to add some bedding to it, which would probably run me $20 or so. Would you be willing to go down to $10? |
Baby casket ROFL
