Thread: oddest response I've ever received...

    oddest response I've ever received...

    I'm trying to sell a bridesmaid dress on craigslist. It's a rather elaborate gown that requires a certain sense of style, so I haven't received a lot of responses other then the regular scam emails. However, this response is the funniest and oddest response I've ever gotten!!!
    Hello in regards to what appears to be a simply stunning dress I have a request.If possible I'd like to get a better idea of how this dress will look and flow on me so if possible could you get a model to take as many pictures as possible with a variety of positions for example(Side)(Front(Sitting down) try to have one foot out so I can get a idea on how it will stretch when I dance.I also just thought a video clip would also be a great idea to go along with the pictures if possible.Walking back and forth or even a quick dance if comfortable would prolly help too.I'm sorry to be sounding so picky but I'am just wanting the best dress and I'm really interested in how this dress looks.
    Why yes, let me take the time to stage a mini-fashion show for you, and send you the video, all so I can make a lousy $40. And of course, ship it to Ohio "like ebay". ummmm... no!
    Have a groovy day!

    Sounds like a prevert. Can you wiggle around a bit in it too so I can see how it would move on me while I dance?
    I add new pictures to my photo gallery pretty regularly. You can see them here if you are interested: http://www.pbase.com/jeffryz

    I would actually want the same thing if I were paying good money for a dress without trying it on. (That didn't sound right) Now having the nerve to ask the seller to do all that? That's thick skin.

    I though about the perv angle too, but he did ask for a model, didn't say it had to be Avlena. But yeah odd

    First thing that popped into my mind as well. As soon as I read Craigslist, I thought of that girl who went for the babysitting job. I know totally different topic but just the kind of people you'd have to watch for.

    You're selling a used dress for 40 bucks? wow..that must be some dress! You know, it doesn't matter what you paid for it, unless it's a designer (like DK, or Lauren) type lable you probably won't get that much will you?

    "Also, could you please have the model display taking the dress off for me? That is important."

    I would also like to request seeing you without the dress so I can see how I will look in you dress. Thank you. Please send pictures of areas of importance like hips, feet, hair and chest. Thank you.

    Please, I would like much to see how I would look in dress getting taken from behind while drunk. Yes, very much this is necessary. Thank you.

    *shrug* I suppose. If I ever get around to it, I'll probably just end up donating it to GoodWill. I think I was just irritated at having to pay so much for a bridesmaid dress that I don't like one bit, so thought I'd try to get some of my cash back.
    Have a groovy day!

    lots and lots of beads, shimmery fabric, & sparkles. I'm a simple elegant type of girl, and this made me feel like an aging Vegas show girl.

    Excuse me, but you cannot tease us with such a visual without pics!
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.
