I just sold my Samsung Syncmaster 955df to a local for $85 and we decided to meet at a local Chick-Fil-A to make the exchange. We got there, put the monitor in his mom's CRV, and he, his brother, and I went in and ate some chicken and shot the shit a little.
We finish the meal and leave in our cars, me first, and I go along my way.
I get home and am welcomed to this conversation:
sp862: hey man
sp862: you there
SwissPatriotRG: yeah
SwissPatriotRG: did you hook up the monitor?
sp862: OMFG dude

Not sure what happened at the end, it is possible his internet simply cut off, maybe I made a bad comment, maybe his mom came in and ripped the computer out of the wall after seeing her car in shambles.
The guy didnt want it shipped, maybe he should have just let me do what I wanted to do first: ship it for like 10 bucks. We could have saved gas, a pricey meal at Chick-Fil-A, and a new-ish Honda CRV :shrug:
Just thought someone might enjoy today's adventure
