We Got Duped on Craigslist

I think we were duped.  Well, Jack claims that we were partly to blame, so there’s really no financial recourse, but I still maintain that when you are specifically asked by someone who is trying to buy an antique French armoire from you whether the doors still work, you should really mean it when you say they do.  You shouldn’t just pretend that warped doors that won’t close and that sit all cattywampus on the hinges, flopping forward like a drunk falling out of the bar door at 2:00 am, “really work.”  You shouldn’t tell the potential buyers that you took them off only because they obscured your tv viewing.  And you SHOULD tell them that the hardware to attach the doors will need to be fabricated out of stock metal in a metal shop by someone in-the-know because your stupid live-in boyfriend lost the hardware but is “looking for it.”  Yeah, right.

So, Jack says shame on us, but I say, shame on you, Craigslist seller, shame on you.  Now we have drunk doors on our antique French armoire that we paid too much for.
