So this person decides to out of the blue ask a random question, or two. Who just asks a random question without a topic or item in mind?

Then on top of it they decided to just tell me where to meet them. No buddy, that's not how it works. If you want the product you come get it. It's pretty clearly stated in the ad that you'll need to come get it.

Me: I dont remember 3:09 PM

WHY YOU NO READ?

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of people not reading the damned ad. It's even worse when every single one of their questions is answered by said ad. Then he proceeds to lowball me ($499 retail) with some ridiculous offer.

For context, here is my ad:

WTT Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for ATT iPhone 5 or Note 8.0 - $1

Wife wants an iPhone 5 for AT&T. Don't care what size or what color. I will also trade for an AT&T Galaxy Note 8.0. I need something a little smaller.

Must be in like new condition.

Galaxy Tab 2 is in perfect condition and will come with all original accessories and box.
I like it but just don't need it since we use the iPads more. It is about a month old and gotten maybe 3 hours of usage playing movies. This is not the wifi edition, it is the AT&T LTE edition - which has the faster dual core processor (1.5ghz vs 1.0ghz) and can play full HD with no problems. Runs android 4.2

I'm not sure what he expected me to do... Drop work and go meet him now since he's going out of town? You're buying stuff from me, why do i have to be at the inconvenience when YOU want what I have?

WWW-WeirdWiredWireless

405: Do u still have router 11:35 AM
Me: i have quite a few, which are you interested in? 11:36 AM
405: The one for 10$ I think 11:40 AM
405: Do have others that have everything that are cheap 11:55 AM
Me: are you looking for a wireless one? or wired 11:56 AM
405: Probably wireless. I am looking to hook up a few different devices like Xbox and iPhone and laptop and I don't have a desk top11:58 AM
405: But it needs to hook up to a modem 11:59 AM
Me: the ones i have are only wire'd unfortunately. i know someone selling some Linksys wireless routers, and a few Netgear but they are $30 if you're interested i can get you in touch. he is in edmond but works downtown & could meet somewhere in his normal route 11:59 AM
405: What's the difference between wireless and wired 12:18 PM
Me: i'm not sure how to answer. One is wireless and one is wired. Your iphone needs wireless, because you cannot connect a wire to the iphone to get internet from a wired router 12:27 PM
405: Oh ok 12:53 PM

okay so i legitimately  didn't know how to answer that without being a dick. The answer to the question was in the question? i even tried to hook a guy up when i didn't have what they were looking for...
oh well. sometimes  People can't be helped
