**SAD UPDATE**WEIRD BRAG- for someone else (and the good feeling for myself :-)

[turkishdelyte]

So this is a bit of a weird brag....I had an extra crib (brand new in the box) that we paid $399 for that we were selling very cheap- it had to be someone in need. There were quite a few people that had enquired (one actually said she was on her way to the shop to fix "BMW" (so much for being in need...I know, I know, she may be in need and also drive a BMW). Anyway a young girl, 8.5 months pregnant said she would love the crib and she didn't have alot of money (we were going to sell it for $75 bucks) so she came by. She told me her story downstairs in our condo and someone that was sitting close by happened to hear. The man asked me how much I was selling it for, gave me the $75 bucks and bought the crib for her....I then gave the girl the $75 bucks back and she walked off with a $400+ crib and $75 bucks in her pocket....and yes she was crying....lol. I am feeling soooo good about today and what happened Brings hope back to me to see its not all about MORE MORE MORE and greed




***UPDATE***
So I mentioned I sent the girl an email and even tried to call her (left her a message) and she never called back :-( Figured she was busy....well I was going through craigslist/kijiji to sell a change table and saw someone with the crib I sold that girl- I WAS SHOCKED and actually got nervous....I was thinking there is NOWAY that the pregnant girl would turn around and re-sell it. So I wrote the seller enquiring about the crib- NO RESPONSE (my email address was visible of course). I enquired again- NO RESPONSE. So I asked my husband to enquire and he got a response back right away? The girl was selling the SAME CRIB for $200 NEW IN BOX! Of course this can't possibly be the same girl right? I got my husband to say he wanted it and asked for her phone number...and SADLY IT WAS HER :-( I got played...BIG TIME....I lost a $400+ CRIB and also the $75 I GAVE HER (which the kind man in my building gave me!!) I am really really upset about this...I have been really disappointed the whole day.....but I guess its gone and there isn't anything I can do....pretty sad that someone, who is pregnant, played me and the kind man in my condo that tried to help her. Makes me really sick to my stomach....Kindness doesn't always pay off I guess....and to think we were going to send her coupons....thank you everyone that PM'd me with coupons to give this girl....
